man, what a waste of a good american muscular icon how much do you think they were all worth, there seemed to be like 25-30 of them there from the pics, I bet there's well over a million dollars if you were to sell them Edit: nevermind, i just read the article, it says there are 36, one for every year 53-89, and the ones from 53-68 are possibly worth 1.5 million each. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They may be worth a lot, but I bet it will take quite a bit of work to get those babies running again after sitting there so long.

At least they (supposedly) don't feel the pain of being forgotten ..
But that's awful! They're gray from sitting there so long with nowhere to go! :|
Inhumane!

what I don't understand is, if the guy's a millionare, then why on earth would he keep them in a parking garage!?!?!?!?!?!?!  I mean, if he's got that much money, why not put them in a garage at his house and then *Crying while typing* paint them on his free time, essentially ruining the cars from their natural beauty?

Or, why doesn't he do the sensible thing and rent the expensive ones out to museums? It's true, when you have too much money you have no sense.
