The survivors cars of the Lambrecht collection

I get it, this is like one of those automotive versions of a tree falling in the forest right?

Wish there was a Mopar equivalent to this story.

I know of one, and have seen them many, many times.  Not as many cars, maybe six or seven, but maybe 2 Max Wedge and  2 Hemi cars with less than 100 miles on each.  All special ordered brand new, all run down the track a few times within the first month, then put away. He also has a 62 or 63 Pontiac Catalina Swiss Cheese car with roughly 60 miles on it.  They are all in a small, run down building, nobody would ever know they are in there.

If no one would know they are there. ... would anyone know if they were to come up missing 

Well, he is getting older, but still sharp.  Every once in a while you will see him out in his 1966 Hemi Satellite convertible. The car was used in many national ads for Chrysler, fully documented.  It is the high mileage car, around 20,000 if I remember correctly. He bought it new.

I actually live 15 minutes from this location. I remember as a kid driving by the dealership with my parents and seeing all the cars. Many of them were outside, sitting right in the middle of town.  My dad always told me the story about how in the building there was brand new cars that he wouldn't sell to a soul.  Finally town got tired of all the cars sitting and cluttering town and required him to move them into the country (where most of them are now outside, in tall grass rotting away). They are located near the golf course in Pierce Nebraska. Shoot when I was in high school we would sit in the tee box and hit golf balls into the whole group of cars  . I'll be making the drive back to see all this.  Might not be mopar, but when else are you going to be able to see a "NEW" corvette from the 70's?

This must be the site.   Very close to the golf course.   Looks like there are sheds to the left under the trees.

Zoomed in a little more.

That looks about right.  But I remember more cars then that....

It appears this is where the sale is going to be held.    So the cars have to be there, or the trees got bigger and they are hidden.

Good chance with the trees. I haven't been on that course since high school. That was a couple days ago...
