Customs Take a walk through my garage

My 8 tracks died the slow, squeaky death decades ago. However, I copied the cassettes and lp's to cd years ago so I can still enjoy the music.
Mark, does having all of the stuff at your finger tips allow it to loose some of the magic from familiarity?

 

Mark, your house is a museum of cool stuff! Very nice videos. Thank you for sharing.

 

You got to be kidding! You’re shit is better than most museums!

 

That is soooooooooooo cool !!!!

you gotta have the biggest personal ROTH collection out there !!

simply amazing , thanks for sharing .

 

Awesome collection of what most of us can only picture in our minds.
Thanks for sharing.

 

Viewing your stuff make me feel like a kid again! Thanks
Dan

 

Wh wh why can’t I stop drooling

WOW ! Thank you Mark I’ll take you up on your offer sometime in the near future. Your stuff really brings back memories. My friends, brothers and I would spend hours looking at models, hot wheels or HO cars before spending our allowance or grass cutting money, I get that same giddy feeling looking at your stuff!

Mark ,
Are there any good places to stay nearby ?
I remember seeing in your threads some cool drive in places to hang out,, and eat a meal .
My life is kind of turned upside down now and I was thinking it might be cool to take a flight and just get away for a weekend this summer .

Lake Minnetonka,,,is it close to you ?

Tommy

 

Lol,,,,,it’s supposed to be a really beautiful place .
I didn’t realize it was that close,,,,lol .

Thank you Mark for not only sharing your collections, with everyone, but for your foresight and passion to have amassed and preserved it all. One word comes to mind…immaculate! I really love your diverse focus. I’ve never seen that many Cragar steering wheels in the flesh, together; in my life! Between you and Kev, I know Rod and Custom minutiae history will never die! Thanks again

 

Saw the videos on YT before I saw this thread.

I've always heard about the chassis that went along with the Revell Visible V8 engine but I've never seen one.. also, what's the story on the huge Batmobile and Lincoln Futura? Are those die-cast? Plastic kits?

Truly an impressive collection! I will totally be knocking on the door next time I'm in the area, but I don't know when that'll be. I haven't been in the state of MN since about 1997 or so. Maybe if I ever make it to BTT 50s.

 

@Moriarity .. wow! What a story!

 

A friend of mine bought one of the LeSabres and always wanted the Futura also, but never did end up getting one. It's been living in my office for a few years "on loan" while his life had a few ups and downs. Guess someday he will remember it's here and want it back. LOL. Really nicely detailed models though.

 

.....oh, and I really enjoyed the videos Mark! Makes me want to get my junk organized and dusted. LOL The stuff in the cases here at the office has gotten disorganized as I keep throwing stuff in and none of it has been dusted in ages.

 

That would have been 2006 or 2007 at the latest.

 

Some guys have all the luck. haha..

 

Some people go to all the swap meets...

 

Madness.....just madness !!

 

This stuff ain`t real, All AI, no dust or cobwebs

 

Ok Ok - You win.
