Very cool place, I didn't even something like existed anywhere in this part of the world.

A good reason to do a future fall run in Newfoundland. Every Car Guy should visit this place. It is Amazing.

 

[Ohtobbad]

Could be true, and might get traction, can certainly be put forward as a run option.
I know I couldn't do it. I can not take a week off at the time of year required to make that run.
I am not sure how many would want to do a full week run, But certainly something that could be discussed.
Gauge from interest how many would go.

Yeah I agree Trevor. A week may be too much most. On my end if I ever take a week off to visit the rock I would definitely bring the kids along as it is not a place they have ever been.

That being said there may be a few that are up for it. You never know.

Not a barn find so to speak but a funky paint job I saw in Quebec tonight.

Amazing pics. I've heard of this Guy and his collection. would love to see it. It would be a good trip for a mustang group to take!

Dennis Gage did an episode on him for his show "My Classic car" in 2012. It's on You Tube.

One thing I noticed when I was there in July/August was that every car had the keys in the ignition.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Yes , so did I. Easier for him to just hop in and go for a spin.

 

[Ohtobbad]

Does he drive these? It doesn't look like it.

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Some of them get short local drives. The Blue Chevy Pick Up was parked closest to the garage door and his wife advised that it is his favorite and gets used the most.

I have been. It is a fantastic collection.

My husband and I toured this place on a cruise through Newfoundland with members of the Nova Scotia Mustang Club. It is a phenomenal collection. A lot of the cars had the keys in the ignition, I assume it was so they could move them easily. He loves him some Elvis too. His desk was the rear of a Cadillac. I highly recommend going.
