There are buyers who would like several hundred unrestored/junk cars of all brands.  

There are buyers who have $2m.

He should just sell the cars individually.  It's not that difficult.

A quote from the on-line article:

"I'm 60 years old and won't live long enough to restore these cars," he reasons.


WTF! He could get rid of 300 of his cars and he still wouldn't have enough time restore the remaining ones (approx 40).

Nice story BTW, thanks for posting.
