      You hit the nail on the head Joe! He saved all of these from unfortunate fates and they will get a chance to live on with future owners as opposed to rotting away or getting scrapped. This isn't a hoard but rather a well organized and properly stored collection of an avid enthusiast.

    That was great Mortske. Vintage tin national parks like that are becoming fewer and far between. Most collectors/hoarder's won't sell but it sounds as though he is willing to do so. I could spend weeks there listening and learning. I am impressed with your vast knowledge of vintage parts. That was pretty cool you being able to educate him about how to find out the ratio of the vintage speedo adapters. Duff definitely had a good time. Thanks.

He ran 16 second quarter mile laps on blacktop on Friday night and red Georgia clay on Sat. night. l still have the second gear in his garage, He took it to Pontiac Motors and had the stripped gears welded back and machined like new. Spent August 3rd. 1977 in Minot N.D. It was 100 degrees that day and around 50 that night. l am ready for a road trip to that mans Mecca of old FORDS. Thanks for the awesome video.

      I'm 66 and I know it's going to happen but I haven't given up yet! My son is into them too and I trust him to post the them for sale on the internet to get good money out of them. If I live to be a hundred I couldn't finish all of my cars, I kind of quit keeping track of how many I had at forty and I've bought quite a few since then plus I have a huge amount of parts taking over a 38 by 70 upstairs in my shop plus a an old house I bought next door to my shop!

    What a Great Man with a collection that I could spend days just looking and dreaming on what to build and the place looks more like a museum than a random collection of car parts. Thanks for letting Duff show us around, Mortske Repair Great Channel Keep those videos coming.

    Great find, love all the stories. Impressive how every piece of metal there he knows exactly where they came from even 40 years on.
