My thought process is that we don't take this stuff with us when we die, so it is our duty to preserve this small part of history to the best of our ability while we are alive. We are only the temporary caretakers of these AMC cars.

I definitely agree that it is their property. I do not want to tell the Collier family to do anything, it just makes me sad. They are free to do what they want, but if they find this thread or this forum, I hope that they call on AMC enthusiast for help.

For obvious reasons, the Collier situation is a sad one.

There should be a few gleaming examples saved. But to save 50,000 examples for generations that won't care?

It's well documented that Colliers have allowed some rare and significant AMC's to degrade into junk. Cars that should have been preserved as gleaming examples.

I got the impression from the TV show, that the son is ready to start moving stuff, but that he was keeping things as is until his father either went into a nursing home or passed?

Has anyone who has bought a car from Colliers ever publicized how much they paid for it?

I talked to a guy, who offered to buy one of their AMXs, but the asking price was astronomical.

Makes me mad looking at the pictures.. such a shame that someone so into cars would neglect them so deeply.
