    Awesome! Found something like that once, a buddy's brother bought a house with a garage. I was in the garage helping work on a car, and saw a model box up at the top of some stairs going to a loft. Long story short, they were left by the previous owner. All 30 or so were built, but still in boxes and nothing was newer than '75. Some rare cars in that stash. I always love finding stuff like that!

  9. Thats too cool. Looks like most of em are hot rods too.
     
  10. looks like a fun pile..

    my kid brothers burned ,blew-up, crushed ,cut up, traded away my collection simular to yours shortly after I moved away from home ...
    I now have 4 times as many but none of my originals...
    looks like the only thing missing is all the extra customizing parts ..and spare tires and wheels..
