The Sultan of Michigan...

I just got an email from an old friend in Michigan I hadn't heard from in a while. He caught me up with what's doin' with him, and then wrote:

"...Never mind here it is - Sultan of Michigan
You will pull up a video someone took. It is one man's collection downstate from me. I got an invitation to attend his garage March 17th. I can take five guests. If you would like to see a hell of a collection let me know..."

- the collection of a very secretive private collector known in auto circles as the 'The Sultan of Michigan', so-named because his collection is said to rival those of some more well-known arabian sheiks and princes.

Obviously, I'm trying to clear my calendar so that I can fly in, even if just for a day.

If you've never heard of this guy or his collection, here is an article about the guy - Sultan of Michigan , be sure to view the small video of just part of the collection.

I think his email made my week!

Cheers!

Wow!

Now we know where one of those "phone bidders" at Barret Jackson is.

Incredible collection.

The video is unwatchable. Take a dramamine.

I couldn't even afford all those battery tenders he's got scattered all over the place, let alone the cars...

Did you notice he even has a Boxster tucked away there in 'Porsche Corner', right behind the 959?

Cheers!

world's best cars...

and world's worst photography. Must of had a hidden camera in his briefcase.
Not sure how he keeps it a secret in MI - not that many people here are rolling in that way anymore.
