Classic Car Restorer's Lifetime Estate!

Thirty plus years of restoring muscle cars have led to this huge 3-bay shop liquidation. In addition, there is an upper level and a large upper attic/storage full of old classic car parts and who knows what else! This is our first day of what we believe will be two weeks of setting up, and we are finding incredible things! There are so many tools and equipment that is either brand new, never used, still in the box, or was used very little and is in new condition! The descriptive list and the pictures are from today so check back with us. As we sort and dig, we will continue posting more!
