 Jim's price is 5thousand. jimwel69@yahoo.com

regular readers will know that it's rare that I have a thing for sale, because I have nothing to sell. But occassionally someone will ask me if I want to buy something, like in this example, and since I can't afford anything, I ask them if they would rather I post about it, and help out readers who are looking for some cool thing, and that seller who is also a reader (maybe) and by posting it, I help out four people at the same time.

I get a cool thing to post, Jim's wife is happy he sells it, Jim's happy to get money for it, and the new owner scores something that normally you would thing will never be seen outside a millionaires private collection

If you buy it, and don't mind sharing the photo of it in your place of pride, I'd love to post that as an example that sometimes, cool things find new homes. My email is jbohjkl@yahoo.com

Comedian Mike Epps, car collector! Has a T Bucket, 57 Bel Air, 70 Riviera, and Rolls and Land Rover

found among the many cool car collector videos on the Motorator / GQ Car Collector series https://www.facebook.com/motorator

and the entire series can be looked through to see what celeb car collectors they've interviewed at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hKMB1-xkc_-Jxd4iKGMHnvCohTw4h6l

If you haven't heard of the Motorator, (Car Collector by GQ) check out the interviews of car collectors he does in their warehouses and garages, astonishing. Here's Jeff Dunham and Bill Goldberg

in which the incredible Jeff Dunham demonstrates how to open a McLaren, as it has no switch, door handle, or soft pad... very cool. He also explains the Mopar musclecar era fender tag screws. Seriously, I'd never learned this thing he shows, before this. How far out is it to be schooled on Mopar trivia during a celeb garage tour?





I've posted about Bill Goldberg's car collection before, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=goldberg  but this is the first video I've seen of the cars in his garage. He brought the lawman to SEMA! http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/lawman-boss-429-mustang-that-al.html

So, my compliments to GQ and the Motorator, they are doing a terrific series of videos on car collections in Southern California, and the Clive Cussler collection in Colorado http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/07/tim-allens-car-collection-from-new-gq.html

Tim Allen's car collection from a new GQ interview, and Clive Cussler's collection from a Hooniverse interview of 2011

both found on http://www.rodauthority.com/

I finally learned of a model T museum that has been photographed many times but not identified in emails, Near Yuma Arizona is an old gas station / private collection/museum

Steve told me that this was originally a gas station in Holtville Ca, but was bought and moved here

it is North of Yuma, in a small town named Bard. The collection is open for visitors in the cool winter months http://www.dynamitedave.com/places_cloud_museum.html
