I found this story in a yahoo club site its worth a read
(note this story is not mine)
( this is one of many cars on this property (they're not there anymore)
Ever since I was a kid I remember seeing a pretty red car sitting on a trailer at an old farm in North royalton OH. As I got older , it finally dawned on me that that was a Ferrari GTO! So I went back there ummm ... twenty-five years later! And it was still there! And on closer inspection I also saw a Corvette split window coupe, a Pantera, about 15 MGs (very old) an Indy style race car! With a plaque dated 1918. An aluminum and fiberglass concept car, a 69 through 70 Corvette convertible (with the top-down) a maseratti 3500 GT, an old Porsche like the one in forty-eight hours with Eddie Murphy, and a few others, I took pictures of almost all of them, all I have to do is find them!
I visited the old man who lived there, broken windows in his house, trees falling down crap all over the floor of his house... and I sat with him surrounded by these cars watching him pick his ear with a match. (Let me take care of that for you I thought to myself, I have a new best friend) well, this man was intelligent, well spoken, said he was a professor at a college years ago. His son worked for four dollars an hour.
I eventually brought the cars up into the conversation my heart pounding. And it turns out, none are for sale (of course) apparently, he and his brother had a falling out, he had the cars, his brother had the titles... very strange, and he didn't want to talk about. So I visited my new friend several times after that, then eventually gave up. The cars are all gone now, but I did read something about him in the paper. The city was trying to evict him and get the house torn down which they did. And they said he sold one of his cars, the GTO. He gave the proceeds to his church, 1.8 million dollars. I don't know what happened to the rest...
