That is a nice collection, little of everything. Ah that 64 Impala, my first car.
Get in, I'll drive

Here is a link to what he calls his ''Toy Shop''!
I've been to Newfoundland a few times, but never got to go there, it's quite a bit out of the way...
That Hemi Daytona is the one that RK Motors was selling for 1 million on eBay a couple years ago... did not sell for that much, but did get a lot of comments and attention, which was the point I guess. Can you believe there are 2 (of 70 total) Hemi Daytonas on that small island?

even harder to fathom when you realize they were only 40 HEMI Daytonas built, total US & CANADA spec.

Nice "toybox"!  I'm envious!  :D

Although there is no ''official'' Daytona listing, current production estimate is at 70, with about 40 accounted for....

We were there last year and it's hard to believe there were that many nice cars on The Rock. Vernon is a character and you should hear the story about the battery for that Boss Mustang that Lilian is standing in front of; hilarious and would make you shake your head. He's cool about the cars and let my wife sit in the 48 Highlander that she so admired. He also allows the valedictorian of the local high school to pick any car in the collection and he'll drive them to the prom in it. There's a $5 admission fee that all goes to local charity as well. Vernon's a cat, for sure!  :bigthumb:
