Terence McCann Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 A spin off of the vintage car thread. You won't believe your eyes.

hausdok Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Very Kewl, I'd love to visit that place. I have to tell you though, he might have been a mechanic, but I doubt if he was really a mechanic, if you know what I mean. I used to be a mechanic back in the day of gear ballers. I can't think of anyone in the trade that would have been making the kind of money it would take to build that kind of collection in a hundred years let alone ten years. It wasn't exactly a trade where you were expecting to see a nice fat pension check when you retired. I don't care how good a horse trader he was, I don't see any way he could have built up that kind of collection on a mechanic's salary unless his partner is independenly wealthy. Something tells me he had other, uh, skills. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspectorjoe Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wow! I have to put that on my must-see list. I'm going to have to time it right, because it's only open to the public for charity events, three times a year. http://www.carsofdreams.com/ John Staluppi might have started out as a mechanic, but he apparently has smarts, ambition and drive that I could only dream of: http://www.johnstaluppi.com/ The owner of the place I inspected today is a car and motorcycle aficionado. He put up quite nice outbuilding 5 years ago. The lower level is a large garage with radiant heat in the slab. The upper level is heated with vintage cast iron radiators. It's apparently a nice place for the owner to sit with a friend in overstuffed chairs and enjoy a beverage or two while admiring his baby. I was pretty impressed with it until I saw John Staluppi's setup.

John Kogel Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks, Terence and thank you, Joe. That is the only way to store a '58 Vette - right in your living room. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
