    I hope you can buy that entire garage for a lump sum!!!! judging by what I've seen I bet those boxes are full of vintage parts GOLD! Buy a good digital camera and between the HAMB marketplace and Ebay you're rich!

    Now how could anyone go wrong with a title like that?

    How many frames/crossmembers did they use to make those shelves?

    Is that whole shelf full of transmissions manuals or auto?

    If you find a set of Ardun's in one of those apple boxes I may have a heart attack.
     
  21. Way to go, I'm thrilled for you! Keep those pics comin'. You're always livin' up to your name. :)

    Awsome intake and a nice head/heads, great combo, from last set of pics.

    Looks like there are many sets of heads/intakes there from the first set of pics as well. Plus all them, manual trannies? as well...Keep the pics coming, I know you took more. Show us the goods...

    I am happy for you, but not really. I hate it when someone finds a stash like that near me, makes me wonder where and how often I passed by over the years!!!!!

    Congrats though.

    First, congrats on your great fortune.

    Second, you are much braver than I. I don't think I could have made a post about such a find until I had it all inventoried and secured somewhere in my possession.

    Anyway, looks like cleaning, inventorying, cataloging, and photographing will be your new hobby for a few months. Enjoy your once in a lifetime experience and good luck handling all of the new marriage proposals.
     
  26. Awwwww.... shucks Larry! That means a lot coming from you!! Glad to see ya last weekend, and of course the Mrs. too!

    All 4 speed manual trannies! HaHa busted.... more pics coming, so stay tuned.

    That's correct! I know the 348/409 stuff, but just don't know exactly how much and which parts are hidden in here :D

    Oh, it's secured..... Took out some clays yesterday just to make sure I could still hang with the guys ;)

  27. Well here are a few pics for the morning crew..... Since you guys aren't going crazy yet, I figured I'd throw in one that will make y'all squirm! They haven't been cleaned up yet, so please keep that in mind!

    PS- The red one's going on the truck ;)

  29. Ha! You should get a prize just for telling what that is in that terrible pic! To my knowledge it does, but it has been decades since this stuff had seen the light of day.

    The trick is finding someone that really knows how to use it!!!!

    WTF...Look at all them steering wheels. I would be sleeping in that place, untill all is moved to my place.

    You did something good to deserve all of this, or maybe something bad...

    When this is all done and said, I hope you can inform us on how this treasure became, and how you obtained...
