How many square feet is the Barn/shop and what did it cost you to build? ....if you don't mind me asking. I have a similar size collection and can't stand some of my cars being outside and want to put them all together in a nice spot.

reference the barn I guess you are talking about mine?

I started it in 2006 and to date i have probably 60k invested. It is 106'x60' total 6360 sf. Pictures of it are on my fotki album, and it is still a work in progress.

Nice! I am wiping the drool from my face still. I have a collection like yours and it is growing and I really want something like that. My co-workers say I am a Jay Leno wanna be, however I don't have a facility like his. I need to get a large space and put some hoists in.

I drew mine out to scale prior to building it. I wanted to have all 12 SSP cars in a finished room, and have enough room for boat, truck, camper, enclosed trailer, tractor, and a restoration shop in other end. In between I have parts rooms plus I use the loft/attic area for parts. I could have used another 1500 square feet for parts but I am making do with what I have.

I just got off of the phone with one of the Troopers who drove it in-service (a still-active, 33yr veteran) . He thinks that he has a picture of it somewhere, and he is also putting me in touch with the Trooper it was originally assigned to (who retired about 8 years ago).
whatever became of the possible in service pics of the car ??? Were you able to get any?

Just waiting on the Trooper to get back with me.

Back from the dead.....picked up the '85 this weekend in OH and visited with Jim for a bit. It's back here in TX with me, via a stop in Birmingham at Todd G.'s place where I was able to pick up a like-new front bumper and a few other parts from him. Local resto shop is going to do the paint/body work for me here.

All in all....good 2400+ mile trip in 36 hrs and good to see some old friends.

Awesome Mike!

Wish I'd known you were coming through Birmingham, my area? Would've been good to meet you and check out the 85!

Maybe next time! ;)

Will do, Bobby.

Definitely catch you next time, Brad. It took me about 20 hours each way and I drove straight through.
