I am baffled how he managed to aquire 4 spare transmissions.  I always thought that was the rarest part to an already rare car

I heard the big red guy still does trades sometimes.

Rallies and rust took out of a lot of these. IIRC it's things like control arms and fuel tanks that are the tough ones to get now. A few big stashes of GTX parts got broken up a few years ago.

I really enjoyed mine. Not fast, but it felt special. You could tell it wasn't a showroom car, it was built for competition.

I'm most intrigued that in this storage facility, each unit seems to be an individual, free standing building.  That sort of takes away some of the reduction in building expenses giving them all shared walls on one concrete slab.  

Notice too that not all the buildings are the same size or same design.

I've had two of these.  I should've kept the second one, which was a California car with period mods on it, no rust, just faded paint.

This one is worth the asking price, especially with the spare parts but I'd expect it to have rust and it doesn't look all that clean inside/outside...

Unicorn ownership leads to parts hoarding.

Might be enough spares to keep it alive a while.  I had a 323glc autotragic which was sooooo slow.  I have always wanted the rally rod version.
