Next time you're on I-40 in NM, you have to see this.

Re: Next time you're on I-40 in NM, you have to see this.
I know the place as it is on Route 66 and I am helping the town of Moriarty with a few restoration plans.
HE WON'T SELL ANYTHING!!! I walked the entire property and also the inside building and it is so saddening to know these things will rust into the ground. I am restoring a 49 Ford F3 truck and he has EVERYTHING I need and will not see anything! I told him it is now my mission in life to buy SOMETHING from him!! BUT, if you are up that way - you have to stop in - just the vast amounts of cars from Model T's, Model A's, old Fords and everything else you can imagine - and he has a small 'hill' of old engines and flatheads.... I left pissed but thankful I had a chance to talk to him and tour the property....
