To use an apt expression, this guy needs to get a life.

I don't even know where the original tires, wheels, and hub caps are that came with my 68 when I bought it with slots in 77.

Oh, if that goober wasn't such a poser, he'd know "Shelby" text was emblazoned on dozens of unrelated items in the late 70s.  Hell, I had hose same, plastics wheel centers on a set of Auto Drag wheels.

He kind of implied the part numbers on the fenders were a good thing? ..and was confused on the exhaust tips.

Oh well, are you not entertained?

It's kinda like watching a movie today. Have to ignore the actors politics and just watch the movie.... I enjoy seeing the cars he features but cringe at the "factoids" he sputters....

Is it true records are not available from SAAC because they are being digitized???

It would have been only for a slice of numbers at any given time. The SAAC registrars have full access to the records and registry archives with only minor interruptions while the records are being archived.

+1, service fenders. 


Interior is decent looking.

Some say Mr. Collins is "very lucky" to find these "Holy Grail" barn finds.

But I think it's that he is so well known and liked by many that all these points of contact just flow to him.

Of course that he also offers a cash money reward to finders is also one big benefit and enhances his flow of car finds.

The videos he makes shows off his great showmanship and charisma.

Enjoyed this recent video "4th of July Special" with the red GT350 as he also shows us his very patriotic side by wearing his red, white and blue suit.....beyond kool  !

In his latest video Dennis implies he might have a lead on Jim Morrison 1967 GT500...I guess we will see?

If anyone can find Jimmy's car, it's got to be the Great One....Mr  D

But we all know that baby has been recycled after the crash

He may be referring to something that "fits"  but is not like the originals. Many people choose what details are important and which could be ignored or close enough for them. Reproduction or repop can cover a wide range of just about anything so like everything ask what someone means when they are using terms. Even those that you believe you know don't assume that the other person has the same definition or understanding.  Just like "all original" and so on.

I have noticed used car salesman often have very liberal vocabularies
