    I paid a visit to one of my customer's warehouse where he stores all of his cars. Cars there now;

    Aston Martin Vanquish
    Bentley Mulliner
    Bentley Continental GT
    Bentley Flying Spur
    Ford GT
    Ford GT500
    Ferrari Enzo
    Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
    Ferrari Superamerica
    Ferrari F430 Coupe
    Lamborghini Murcielago
    Porsche 911 Turbo Gemballa
    Porsche Cayman S
    Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
    Porsche Carrera GT
    Mercedes McLaren SLR
    Mercedes SL65
    Masearti 90th Anniversary Spyder
    Dodge Viper
    Plymouth Prowler
    '06 Corvette Z-06
    '03 Corvette Z-06
    '60 Corvette
    Jaguar XKE Coupe
    Jaguar XKE Convertible
    Salleen Mustang

    Cars that he owns, but weren't there at the time;
    Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
    Lotus Elise
    Porsche 959
    Porsche Cayenne Turbo

    Cars that are on their way into his collection are;
    Bugatti Veyron
    Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT
    Ferrari F430 Spider
    Ferrari 599 GTB
    Corvette, by LPE

    I believe he owns about 60 cars in total. He is obviously a true car guy, but one of the nicest people you can ever meet.

    Ya gotta love a guy like this!

    Very nice! Similar to what I would have (if only...).

    In addition, do those "60 cars" include any classics as well?

    He had a handful of classics, including a mint '53 Chevy, and an old Camaro ('69, I think). I don't recall what the other few were.

    That's an outstanding collection. I don't suppose you had the opportunity to take any pictures did you?

    Actually, he had a few cars for sentimental reasons which I didn't bother mentioning, such as a mid '70s 'Vette and a Cadillac Allante.

    I'd take an Allanté over a Prowler.

    Well the fact that this guy owns some 60 or so cars and the Plymouth is one of them, most being 3 or 4 times the price of the prowler at least. Does that not say something?

    Im baised really as i just purchased one a couple of months ago and to be honest, its a great car. Yes its not an all out race car, or a luxury refined automobile but it still drives well and looks the business!

    Matthew, I'd be curious to hear a review on your Prowler now that you've had it for a few months.

    Owner of the collection T.S. ?
    Atleast I think his last name starts with an S, or maybe a C? I never met him.

    Edit: Forgot to say how badass that collection of cars are. +1 for MI ;)

    Dan,

    Does he ever have any private tours? Maybe he would allow some of us FChatters in the Detroit area a glance.

    I remember back in middle school a friend of mine had several really hot girlfriends but according to him they lived out of state and went to private all girls schools so we never got to meet them. He sure did talk about them allot though. LOL!

    Just kidding but for the love of all that is good in the world post some pics.
