Funny how if a guy had stuff like that piled up in some areas there would be a joker neighbor calling the cops about the junk yard next door.
Truly an amazing collection.

All the results are here http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/all-lots.cfm?SaleCode=LH11
Some of the single state license plate collections went for 25K The Edwards that won the first pebble beach sold for 143,000 I think. Some really neat stuff. I didn't do the math but I heard 1.8 million for everything.

Wow! 4 million Not bad for a lifetime of collecting scrap.....I also heard a story that he threw Jay Leno out of his place many years back when Jay tried to buy some things from Lee. They were getting along great until Jay told him how he was going take the roof off of one of the buildings and use a helicopter to extract the car he wanted and then put the roof back on. Might be urban legend but I thought it was funny.
Easily the neatest thing I saw. i have no idea how it works, but I look at this and think to myself "I haven't done anything stupid in a while....I should ride this."

I am not a motorcycle guy, but those classic bikes were awesome. Cool blend of form and function. It was amazing that they got most of them to fire off with minimal work.
Wow, thats incredible.
Reminds me of this collection that was found. I beleive the doors were welded shut.
