I thought I was bad, just searching through Craigslist for a 3000GT VR4 to feed my BiTurbo swap ideas and this came up...

Biturbo swaps? Look for an Audi A6 with the BiTurbo 2.7

That has to be a significant percent of total production of those.

There appear to be TWO seperate people with the same fetish in the Detroit area.

holy damn.
That is ALOT of money.
VR4 rollers are still pretty damn expensive, and hes got complete (prob not running) cars there.

He's either had enough... or needs LOTS more to deal with the pain.

My parents' 6 acres used to look like that but with DSMs. Thank God I have moved on to a real job, Corvettes, and just crushed the last of my stuff this winter.

At one point in the mid 00s there were around 30 1G AWD DSMs on the property. It paid for my schooling, at the expense of my parents' farm being mistaken for the junkyard a few miles down the road.

A famous line of my dad's "I counted, and there are 57 wheels and tires in the barn that don't belong to any car. What do you plan to do with them?"

I think it is a 3000GT owner who was tired of not being able to find parts and could buy insurance auctions. I have heard of similar things within cars groups that have a devoted following.

Man, if there was ever something I wanted, it's a rusty crankshaft. (Seriously, why is this picture in that ad?)

That has to be one of the nicest kept junkyards I have seen

He should be able to cobble together at least 10 nice cars out of that yard.
