UPDATE ON THIS EVENT!!!

  Well the time has come. It has been 4 long years that we have been trying to get an opportunity to visit a private car collection in ARP, TX. The owner and his wife have graciously accepted our request to visit and tour their incredible car collection.  The have approximately 140 cars at their home in ARP, TX and they also have the LARGEST DODGE VIPER COLLECTION IN THE WORLD!!!  Yes, that is correct........... approximately 85 Vipers!!! They even have the last one that came off the assembly line.  Plus they have a number of other cars that they have collected over the years.

These cars are not just stored in buildings they also drive them and enjoy them. It is a great opportunity to visit a private car collection.  You can also view some of their collection on the internet. Below is one of the many links that can be found on the internet.
