This situation is more prevalent than we collectively think. There are still folks from the 70’s that were into f bodies and purchased quantities of vehicles when they we just used cars. They were likely older portions of our interest group and NOT all took to the electronic innovations and social connections that bring their existence to our awareness. They are good folks who had / have the passion yet manifest it in a “Hoarder” definition. I personally know of two groups of cars exactly like this (In Washington) and both sets are stored similarly yet out of the hobbies sight.
Set #1 is a result of a long term (PNW region) Camaro supply business and their attempts to obtain a Stock of cars to maintain a robust inventory of carcass parts during the lean years of NO reproductions. By purchasing any and all that were reasonably this ‘Gill Net’ purchasing allowed the business owner to grab some Rare fish with the common junk he bought and in the end the internet killed the Business resulting in a Hoard locked away as he pursued Common skill set jobs to maintain a family.
Set #2 is a result of a independent body and fender man who just happened to pick Chevrolet and Pontiac F bodies to focus on as a means of making side funds to make a family wage as supplemental income to make up for the deficit when working for the MAN at Body shops. Naturally culling the available stock via the exposure that Body shops (1970’s) [Yes He parted a Royal Plumb 1967 Z28] afford allowed for a nice collection of frustrated projects and opportunity purchases. Being older and unwilling to engage the electronic world his cash of iron has forever remained hidden to this day. His BEST purchase $1,500 in 1979 one (1) 1969 RAIV 4 speed Firebird Tran Am (broken car) from a Fella who wanted “Weed” money. Ironic Washington “The Evergreen State!” . That project is GONE & funded a FULL Ride for his daughters College Fund as a Basket case project Car- Uh Raw!
