The Beginning of an Adventure!!!!!!

Holy schnitzels! If I didn't see it here I would have never believed it. Someone should save those cars before they totally deteriorate or are destroyed by fire or vandals. What a waste!!!!!!!!!

What a waste. BTW, you can locate the building in 5 minutes using Google Earth and the pics of the outside - ain't technology wonderful?

Wow! First time that I came across this story. This is better than the "barn" finds that we had over on The CF! I hope someday that they will be restored and put in good hands.

That sounds like a question that we would be asking you. I think it would be fun to get it and have you hot rod it, you could align yourself with Petey, Donnie, and Jim D to be the midwest contigent of the outlaws.

I think the guy who originally won them was from somewhere on Long Island also?

Anyway desipte pleas from various sources (including one just to get the cars washed and cleaned up - for free!) Peter Max and his organization have been totally 100% un-responsive.

I guess; although it's hard for people like us to understand, he's just doesn't care about the cars.

He is not a "Car Guy/Gal" and I have my doubts that these cars will (at least in my lifetime) ever see the light of day again.

He obviously doesn't need the money and he doesn't seem to care about the cars themselves or the people who really do cherrish these cars and would restore them to their original brilliance.

Well, unfortunately for the cars and the Corvette Community overall they are his property and he can do what he wants with them - even if it's to leave them to rot! At least they won't rust.

He sounds like a dick too me, he could give them to a charity and let them sell them. That would be a win win situation.
You don't have to be a car guy, to see that's not right.

My first hand, up close and personal observations is that Maxx is a has been hippie, now being "directed" by his staff of ramoras so as to keep the money machine in place. I wouldn't be surprised if they wipe his butt after every flush...

If the resident ramoras don't benefit, the Vettes will rot away.
