I think he should be.
One of which:
I want the Vette...
I'm not getting the first pic, a pseudo MG convertible with sunroof.
If this were in Virginia, I would say the owner was 'fnader' here on the board.
If the corvette is a Greenwood conversion then it's worth a little bit of money. Not a lot, but a bit. Greenwood also did the super wide C3 race cars of the era and their wagons are supposed to be the best of the bunch. There were at least two other companies that did small batches of C3 wagons. The 70's were a weird time.
I also want it.
I would rock the Fiero/GT40 all day. Yes, I know it's not a real GT40, yes I know it looks odd, yes, I would love the reactions I got.
Is that... is that a Mercedes SL 500 replica body on a Le Baron?
Also I think the pictures are photos of photos on a CRT monitor.
I think this guy bought EVERY poor quality kit car ever offered. EVER!
I don't know who Tom is, but instead of a "thanks" I thing he deserves a slap upside the head for letting this guy accumulate such crap.
I'm with you guys on the Vette wagon. Pretty sure I built a plastic model of one as a kid, too. My Google-fu is failing me on that one, though.
You could burn 90% of that mess. The Ford coupes could be saved and the 56 could be sold off to fund their restyling but the rest.......
In reply to Jumper K. Balls:
They're products of their time, calling them nasty is the automotive equivalent of yelling at grandma for being racially insensitive.
In reply to Kenny_McCormic:
But... That doesn't make grandma any less wrong.
And slapping a spider tub on an S10 frame was a bad choice regardless of when it was done.
The GT40 doesn't look bad. Any idea what this one is?
Some of those are really cool. Good for him for preserving them. Even gooder if he built them. He says the collection dates back to 1965 which would explain some of the more eccentric ones.
There is some nice stuff there, though most would require a careful inspection before throwing money.

Looks like a Stirling, Cimbrias had gullwing doors. Cool looking car, but it's a VW Beetle underneath.
The only one I remotely like is the fake Daytona, but that's just because it would give me an excuse to wear a white blazer with pastel t shirts.

No, that is not right. Bill has good taste in cars. Here is his fnader website.
i'm shocked and slightly disappointed that no one here posted the pic of the cab over roll back with some variation of "OMG!! this is teh awesome!! this would be so cool to haul my Miata around on!!"..

How many people could see what it was?
I could be wrong, but I think this one may be a scam. I wouldn't be able to find it now, but I'm almost sure I saw something just like this, with the ad written nearly identically, on Atlanta CL just a few months back. A lot of different backgrounds in the pictures, and you would think if he has all of them he'd have a picture of two of them together.
