This guy has at least 100 cars in his collection. Picking one to drive everyday would be a challenge. I know he has pretty much one of every specialty car from Ford since the mid 80s. He has a 93 Cobra R, a 95 Cobra R, 200 Cobra R, Boss Shinoda and a Laguna Seca to say the least. He has an 05 GT that is accrual documented as a prototype that has a vin number on it.

I get it, it's still a shame that they aren't driven much

It definitely does. I work at a dealer and deal with all the performance toy customers.

I'm looking at the pic in post #1 and thinking that car's paint looks so familiar. So I pop into my pics on my phone and look through the photos I took at The Henry Ford last summer. Bingo!!!

It looks better dirty than with 70 miles on it.

1/2 million dollar garage art, must be nice huh? Kills me how many collectors buy cars like this and never drive them.

A gentleman from my home town was a car collector and had a collection of about 175 cars, including every year T-Bird and every Mark Lincoln. He would drive most of the cars on a regular basis. Seemed like he always had something different. At the high school homecoming football games it was always a bunch of his convertibles that would parade the king, queen, etc... around the field. He was definitely a huge influence on me being a car guy today. Sadly his health got bad and his collection was sold off about 5 years ago. His 3 daughters and their husbands each got to pick a car they wanted out of the collection and the rest were sold.

My favorite car in his collection was a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 built for Daytona by Sachs Brothers Racing. One of 7 cars built and it had one of the big 427 dual cammer motors and it would cruise easily at 160mph, I know because I had a ride in it at that speed on a country road! :) Oddly enough it was street legal and it was one of his favorite cars to drive, one of my best car memories ever was him literally doing a 2 city block long burnout in that thing, then he turned around and came back and did it a second time. As a teenager in the mid 70's it was one of the coolest things I'd evert seen and I'll never forget it.... One of the son in laws has that car now.
