Read Cobra in the Barn, or the sequal to that book, both very interesting, and they havea similar story like that in it. I believe it was an AMC dealership

I think this is a repost here, but still cool.

I'd swear I have read about this place before, years back either online or in some magazine. They may have even tracked down the owner too O_o

too bad I don't remember where

Guys its right in the article posted in the 1st post.

"After some digging and a series of dead ends, Jalopnik dialed up a man named Basil Mangano. "Yeah, that's my building," he told us."
Goes on to say he has about 40 other cars in a building close by.

I think it was in Hotrod or Car&Driver a few years back. I should still have the issue but I'm not looking for it because I don't care that much. And yes Blacdout is right it is a AMC dealer ship. Neat story though. When I read the title I thought someone found Fedor Buick or Judge Olds.
