I grew up on four acres in the country - we had a garage with two bays, a shop with another bay next to that, and a separate 150' x 50' building which was originally a chicken operation but which we cleaned out and turned into car & boat storage. One whole end of that outbuilding had 2x12's on concrete blocks with car parts - Ford flathead, Pontiac 389, Studebaker straight six and Fiat 1100/1200 series.
In back of the outbuilding, for parts we had a 1950 Studebaker hardtop (thoroughly rusted and not worth much), a couple of Oldsmobiles, a 1959 Fiat 1200 sedan, and about four late 50's Mercedes 200-series sedans. They all were hauled off and recycled - fortunately we knew the guy in our county who did that - an old family friend.
In addition, we had a couple of spare engines in the garage we had pulled out of various cars, and my dad was a great woodworker who had quite a bit of lumber and materials stored. He had two vertical storage units about 6' x 4' that had shelves every 8 inches or so to hold nails, screws, and all other kinds of fasteners. LOTS of hardware.
In 1996 when my parents had to move from the country to town, FIRST the four kids took everything of theirs and that they wanted, THEN a group of students and friends of dad's loaded up four big horse trailers and moved them, THEN we had an auction company come in and held a two-day auction.
We gotcha pack rat right cheer!
