You had me worried with "Garden" - was expecting to see the cars used as planters. Whew!

Nope. They all need plenty of work so they don't need to move anytime soon. Just glad they are all finally home and safe.

The garage behind them is 24x24 with garage doors on both ends so you can pass through to the alley at the back of my property.

Awesome! I had a '67 Tempest Wagon and a '67 Lemans (GTO clone) at the same time for a while. I loved just opening the garage and looking at them. I didn't have room for the 3rd one like you do. That's great!

cool. What's the snow load on that aluminum structure. I could use something like that but we often get heavy snows (for Long Island anyway)

He bought my cars. TJ, I'm surprised you didn't recognize them . I kept my convertible. Dennis wanted my wagon and Lemans, so I sold those two cars and a GTO parts car to him. While I will miss them, they just required too much attention in my busy life. At one time, I had a 66 Tempest convertible, two 67 Tempest wagons, a 67 Tempest four door sedan, a 67 Tempest hard top coupe, and a 67 Lemans hardtop coupe. That's excluding the non Tempest/Lemans/GTO cars I also owned. Now, I only have one "classic" car, instead of a yard full. I can focus my attention and money on the 66 Tempest convertible, while driving it. The thrill of the search and purchase was awesome, but fixing/ maintaining that many cars, and storing the extra parts was an overwhelming task to say the least. The wagon and Lemans are in a good home now. Good luck Dennis.
