Here is something unique to add to your Powerball "must have" wish list. This is my friend Bruce's lifetime collection. I have my PB tickets, and my fingers crossed. This is the ultimate playground for You and the little gearheads in your family. Over 1 million parts and 600+ cars. The aerial photos are recent (5-19-2012). House, property, and basically everything else is included (he's keeping his bed, German Shepherds, and a few personal items). Turnkey operation. What's all this worth? Dont really know, but its worth a heck of a lot more than $1.6 million. Even with basically unlimited funds, I honestly don't believe this collection could be duplicated. At least not by one person (which is how Bruce did it). Not today, not tomorrow. It would take the full time collective efforts of a group (more like a small army-lol) many years of scouring the internet and millions of dollars. And just think, Bruce will sell everything for less than the shipping charges would be just for the parts in storage (if shipped piece by piece-one part at a time). And if You think Bruce got all of this stuff for next to nothing, think again. Once in a while, everyone gets thrown a bone, but Bruce spent plenty of money. He use to go to swap meets back in the day with a wad of cash, and a large empty school bus and come back with a fully loaded bus and nothing but lint in his pockets. Amherst, Carlisle, Bennington, etc. Basically, for 45+ years, all of his available resources went into building his collection. I don't know how he did it, and he said he doesn't either. Reminds me of the Coral Castle Mystery in Florida (interesting place-check it out on the net). You want to make a few million dollars? Here it is. Want to be the king of classic parts? Here it is. Just the loose parts in storage (not even counting the cars) would fill the shelves of our local Wal-Mart. If You won the lottery, and your relatives have their hands out, why not buy this for them and at least let them work a bit for their piece of the pie. This will keep Cousin Johnny busy and out of trouble (and he will make money and have fun doing it too). This treasure would make a great setting for a tv show. Maybe a junkyard comedy. A cross between Sanford and Son, Home Improvement, and The Red Green Show. Could make millions before You sell even one part.                   The Collection is featured in the October 2005 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine, and the November 2008 issue of Car Collector Magazine. The following is a small sample of the over 1 million parts that are here: Cuda-Challenger rallye cluster , GTO tach dash's, 273 Commando in a Barracuda, Essex grill, Torino GT dash with ribbon tach, 9 inch Ford rearends, A few hundred Ford Model A parts, Ford Kelsey Hayes 16" wire wheels, Cosworth Vega engine, Lincoln V12 block and crank, L79 327-350 hp engine, a dozen 348 engines, over two hundred 283-327-350 SBC engines, Boyd Coddington Corvette wheels, 59 Mercedes dash & interior parts, SBC Mickey Thompson crossram intake, two SBC Edelbrock crossram intakes, Edelbrock Ford Flathead heads and three duece intake, NOS Corvette exhaust tips, SBC Enderle fuel injection setup, Cadillac 2x4 intake for a boat engine, 82 Vette Crossfire injection, Offenhauser SBC twelve pack, new Boss 302 2x4 tunnel ram, 50's Buick Offy 2x4 intake & carbs, Brodix heads, Tremac 5 speed, 426 Hemi intake & valve covers, Mr. Gasket & Cal Custom stuff, 289 Shelby & Cobra lettered intakes, new set of 340 Mopar Doug's Headers, 340 hi.po. exhaust manifolds, sets of snowflake & honeycomb Trans-Am wheels, old Torq-Thrust mags, five nitrous oxide setups, Offenhauser intakes, 409 2x4 intake with matching carbs, 57-59 Corvette 2x4 intake w/carbs, 413 Wedge Long Ram intake(s), Desoto 383 2x4 intake, carbs, & breathers, 62 Chrysler 2x4 breathers, 58 Plymouth 2x4 intake & carbs, a couple L88 intake manifolds, Pete Jackson BBC front driven distributor setup, 65 Nova cluster w/tach, 68 Z-28 factory intake, five 327-350 hp intakes, three GTO tri-power intakes w/carbs and one bare intake, 200 + Holley 4bbl's, 70 Boss Mustang standard interior tach and gauge cluster, Mopar Go-Wing spoiler, 69 Corvette 350-350hp w/33,000 orig. miles, 71 Mach 1 351-4V engine, two 396-375 SHP engines, 70 455-4 bolt GTO Judge engine block, and a whole bunch more.

Therefore, upon purchase, it will need to be either towed or put on a trailer. eBay encourages its members to learn about their state laws governing vehicle sales prior to the sale or purchase of a vehicle.

I had a paragraph of things written down, I deleted the whole thing. I'm lost for words now. This could be the "Honey Hole", maybe the Hoffman's would do better here than up in Alaska lol.

This yard has been "For Sale" for quite some time. A friend of mine was there in 2005 and it was for sale then. He brought back an inventory list (etc.) from a realestate co. I think the price was a ("cool mil. then)

 Yep.

From what people told me, the owner was a bit "different".
