It really was - especially now looking back. At the time we knew much of the stuff was pretty cool and desirable but really had no idea how significant and rare some of it was. We were just fortunate to be around it constantly when we were growing up......GS #001, multiple fuelie's, air cars, 396's, LS6's, etc. Richard had an amazing ability to source really good stuff from all genre's of cars and then be able to market and sell them for what seemed like crazy money at the time. He was way ahead of his time in creating a marketplace for these cars before they got popular among the masses. Bill S. and Stretch would frequently show up at our house with something amazing that they picked up.
We had plenty of friends with IROC's and 5.0's too. Still have our 87 Turbo T-Type from new.
