Meet Don Baskin and his 1000 car collection !
Many years ago i was with friends at an NMCA race in Memphis TN. Don Fielded cars in 2 classes with him and his son driving. My Buddy won Pro stock and Don wanted to buy the motor. So after the race we followed him to his shop late that night and were going to pull the engine the next morning. He says "Hell why go through all that trouble when i can just buy the whole car" . There were muscle cars ALL OVER the place and my bud made a deal for the race car, for a beautiful 67 chevelle ss396 and a very generous cash amount. I asked him if he had any first gen camaros around and he says " I got about fity of those" ! Said he had a building out back with over 500 cars in it but it was 1AM on a Sunday night so he didnt want to bother showing it. Dude wasn't lying for sure.
He has a trucking company.
He was a real fixture at NMCA races, usually brought two cars and would run different classes. I usually saw him running Nitrous Pro Street, All Motor, and some big tire class sometimes.

Maybe it's just me but I don't get it. Buying and owning so many cars that they're just "there". I enjoy driving and working on my hobby car(s). At one time I had 3, 70 Cougar Eliminator, 70 Cougar Convertible and an 85 Fox Mustang that I ran at the track. Eventually I got tired of trying to enjoy 3 cars at once and after a few years got it back down to 1.
I had 5 once, currently down to one hobby car. I think 2 projects, and one fast daily would be good for me. One project I'm eyeing will take a couple of years to get back on the road.
At one point he was saying one of his favorite cars was a Roadrunner that he was showing them,when in fact it was actually a GTX.
I'm guessing he has a commercial dealers insurance which only has liability. I can't fathom having full insurance on each car. Did like that 56 Chevy he was driving at the end of the video with less than 10K miles on it!

Going to be a hell of an auction one day when he kicks the bucket…lol
I once tried to keep four cars plus a daily all going. That was a fail. I keep thinking I should grab a second hobby car now, but I remind myself of the upkeep. 922 insured and he said like 80 race cars. Fucking fuck!
