Guest buickkuhn Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I would like to think if your trying to sell over 120 cars that you would keep the ad maintained threw craigslist . This ad was 13 hours ago for the same lot of cars . http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/4725434230.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fun37 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Anyone looking at the ad can 'flag for removal' and it will be taken off, maybe a jealous looker or just messing with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JPromo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Anyone looking at the ad can 'flag for removal' and it will be taken off, maybe a jealous looker or just messing with someone.It takes a certain number of requests for removal, to avoid a single person from doing this. It's possible if they had it listed in multiple locations that craigslist removed it themselves for overposting violation.I wish I was in a position to take on another project since this is right near me. Judging by the price on that Electra, I'm thinking prices may be very reasonable, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Moskowitz Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 In any case the gentleman was quick to send the list and invite me or a representative to inspect any of the cars...more than a few are sold already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoringicons Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have been to the collection and have done business with the current owner. Yes, the collection does exist and the current caretaker is quite accommodating. The bulk of the remaining cars are 1970s and 1980s Cadillacs and Lincolns. Most are extremely low mileage and clean cars which have been sitting unused for many years. This collection has been on and off the market for the past year or more and is well known to collectors and dealers in the Detroit area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countrytravler Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have never heard of this guy. I use to haul Tom Monagham cars in the 80s when i had a fleet of tow trucks and a resto shop. He was a neat person to work with. Flew with him in his chopper once to the Tigers ball park to watch a game. He had owed the Tigers Team at the time. I would pick up or deliver vehicles at his farm (Domino's Farms)on rt.14 and 23 near Ann Arbor. He was a collector himself. The last car I hauled for him was a 30s? Bugatti.

terry54999 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) The sale is legit, I am going there Sat to look at the '65 and '66 Imperial converts, The seller took a few days to get back to me with an address, but came through. I'm sure he has had quite a few e-mail responses. I'll try and post pics after my visit.

Scotts_DG8 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just for conversation, this collection was highlighted on our morning local news. They provided the address but it was covered so fast I did not get a chance to write it down. Based on the story I'm thinking that there could be quite a few people in attendance, I though will not be one of them. Scott... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti.Dave is this the car in this video ? In 84/85 I worked at Domino's for extra part time money here in the Phoenix metro area. That year I became a Tigers fan for the first time in my life simply because Tom was such a well respected man and leader of the company. His is a great story that doesn't get much attention but the video shows how humble and honorable the man is. I believe the car was a 31/32' Bugatti RoyaleHere's some info I found on the car:http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/243.cfm"The six Royales still exist in various collections. The most famous of these is car # 6, the Berline de Voyage. It was originally bought by Briggs Cunningham and eventually found its way, in 1985, to Tom Monaghan (of Domino Pizza fame) for the reported sum of $8,100,000. It now is in the hands of a Korean investor". Edited October 25, 2014 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes-DaveThat was the car-That car was big big big!!!! Mr Tom was a real cool guy. He would invite my family on his farm before the doors would open to the public. His staff really treated my kids and wife like royalties. Good memories and thanks for sharing that video. Never realized that he had went in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
