    The bronze GLE had to be an 81 or 82. My grandfather had a new white ‘81 GLE (same window trim) as his retirement car. In 82 my best friend’s mom had a new GL sedan in that same bronze. It was not a common color. 83 (maybe 84?) and
    up cars switched to the smaller black bumpers when the federal bumper standards were relaxed to 2.5 mph. I think the GLE trim was discontinued on the 240 in 83 as the 760 GLE had been introduced as the new range topper. Had to be hard to walk away from the 242’s

    Those older BMW 7 series and the VW busses are worth very big $$$ once fixed up. However many of the parts for those cars are either obsolete or prohibitively expensive if you can find them so in many cases you may either have to get creative with aftermarket stuff or in some cases you might even have to try and fabricate these parts from scratch. It would be a big undertaking but a very good investments. A lot of those older BMWs have the Bosch jetronic fuel system and when those cars sit for long periods of time the entire fuel system gets gummed up and corroded and you have to replace everything. With parts and labor it's typically upwards of $3k just to sort out the fuel system and possibly get the car running. That being said, yes it would make for some good content but everything adds up quickly in terms of costs so you have to budget wisely. Good luck with everything!

    Agree with others. Most of those cars are pretty rough. Would be a challenge even getting them out of those woods, need chainsaw and loppers to cut out the trees and saplings. I'm really sad for the widow who could probably use money, but I'm not sure how to make it financially viable for anyone except for pick & pull junkyard type harvesting of parts? Then she'd be left with rusting hulks. appreciate the tour through old volvo, mercedes, and VW land. Would be cool to have a pressure washing marathon on site with a huge water tank and lots of gas for the pressure washer(s)!

      Maybe some of the others following your YT channel or the Turbobricks community will snap up some of the 14 Volvos? It's amazing how many rescue-able Volvos you've come across in GA. I can only focus and have room enough for one at a time, and my 84 242 TIC M46 is enough to keep me busy for now. Really enjoy your channel. Thanks for providing us with great content.

    What happened to him ?, was he alone ?, got sick ?, died ..?
    Why didn't anyone else take over and take care of the cars..?
