Hi Alfred, I am willing to grieve for the GTO and the Cobra - - - - but could care less about the Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes and Mustangs.
IMHO: Nobody should own that many cars anyway!

It's a very sad day when anyone loses a body of work they have put years into. It doesn't matter if you don't like Camaros. It is the kind of car crazy collector like that fellow who helps our hobby remain viable. I can guarantee that a fellow with those resources would have a great deal to say to any state legislator who wanted to ban old cars (including ours). There were a number of very rare vehicles in there. It is worth grieving over the loss of any car that has been dreamed about and cared for.
