Thank God for guys like Staluppi and Jay Leno who capture and preserve these cars. Not that all of them are my cup of tea, but a collection like that is so much more worthwhile than a bunch of oil paintings or antique furniture. Thanks for sharing!

Wonder where a mechanic got the bucks for that??

Absolutely amazing, the collection AND the story of the man.

Maybe it's a little OT but I can't help to wonder how our current administration in Washington DC would use the inheritance taxes they want to collect on John's passing...do you think that the children's charities would be as well served? And how long could his family afford to keep his dream alive after the government took half of it in taxes? I guess that in these days I find it very difficult to keep hearing about how the wealthy are so greedy/evil and need to be taxed back into mediocrity. Rant over....keep up the good work John!

That collection is awesome. No other way to put it. Like you guys, I worry about what will happen to it once he's gone.
