I found this Pierce Arrow walled into a garage where it had rested on blocks since 1952. The owner bought it from the Ringling Estate in 1939 with 9000 miles on it. Even though he had 11 other Pierces he couldn't help driving this one so he built a wall in front of it. We had to remove the wall to get it out. 32,000 original miles and probably the most original Pierce Arrow in the world. Picture in garage where it rested for over 60 years. Next picture is after we cleaned it up - still wears 90% of its original paint!

My '69 XKE roadster seeing the light of day after being in the garage under 2 covers since 1992.
I am in the process of going through the mechanicals to get it running again, then will proceed to the interior and exterior bits.
Stay tuned!!
P.S. bought it in 1971.

I bought a 1970 911T that needed restoration about 15 years ago. Bahia Red, would have been a great car, but I just didn’t have the time and ended up selling to a friend. Fast forward to Amelia Island this year and this 73 Tangerine Orange 911E was up for grabs at the Gooding & Company auction. My wife Kelly said we should buy it, so we did. It was a fun experience, I sat with Vic and Barbara Skirmants as they egged me on. Its needed a lot of sorting but it’s a good car. And has A/C, which is much appreciated in South Carolina.
