The Camaro Club goes up there every year in Sept. I've posted some pics and asked about interest in the past. The Marvin's own a restaurant/motel right next door to The Shed and we stay there overnight.

From the post Mitch made many months back and the photos he took. I looks like a very neat place with some pretty rare stuff. I never even knew this museum even existed before that.

Yes thats what makes it so neat no one would expect that some of the most rare cars are up there .....I understand he has a close relationship with Dana Mecum some of the rare one off cars came from Mecum ........the 65 "tiger" GTO he supposedly paid 400K for is a nice car but not that special IMO not restored and the paint looks like someone cleared on top of the original Hurst gold paint to make it shiney , except for the paperwork it looks like a 50k car with poor paint to me .........but it is the Hurst Tiger ad contest car with gold wheels paint and gold shifter and other trim ......he was taking pics of my car ...maybe he needs a Canadian Chevelle in his collection ha ha .....paint is pretty good wont need 400k , anyway just a thought figured you guys pbly knew about it

Most of his cars are from Mecum. In fact, Dana watches for rare cars and gives Bob first chance at them. Many never see an auction, they go straight to Warroad. As for the price of the Hurst GTO, there's only one original and a couple copies made for Tom McAnn back in the day so the price is however bad somone wants it. I don't think he would have any trouble getting his investment back. The ownership trail and documentation are pretty extensive.
