Forums = a herd of elephants with diarrhea. massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, and a source of mind boggling amounts of excrement.

Nope, my shop yard is mostly early 911 and 912 cars. The older guys are a little ahead of me on the curve with the 356 parts cars.

But who knows what the future will bring?

I would be all over that with the wrenches -- who know's what little treasure you could find

The minute you started wrenching the first thing you would probably hear some version of
"Release the hounds!"

Adam,
They are currently restorable, ummm, that's rustable the only question is 'why' ?
A. I have to challenge my restoration capabilities
B. I have to challenge the laws of physics
C. I have to challenge the limitations of my financial acumen
D. I have to challenge the boundaries of sanity

Adam,

So how bad is the 75 2002 behind the coupe on the right?

Oh definitely yes - I have seen worse than that and it got well again. Here is an example of a 1924 Model T Ford Touring that I brought home on a trailer and the load was only 1 foot high. Then later the same car in a parade. The little girl is my daughter Heidi who is now 29 years old.
