That BMW Veritas is a very rare one off car and maybe priceless. Here is a web site post from 2004 that talks about it and states that BMW wanted it back for their collection.

I was amazed to see a 49 with large fins and that GM ripped off the design for their Sabre.

I am sure they are talking about the same car as is in the video.

you would think that the bikes will sell high tacking on the buyers premium.

While I don't have toys of that magnatude I got quite a bit 'o stuff and I say "he who dies with the most toys--still dies!" You just have a lot more fun getting there. v/r Shawn

Does anyone know the saying; "He who dies with the most toys wins" ?...I think we have a winner....

At 5:37 in the first video is that a Streamflow speedo in the show case, for an Evinrude?!

As side car willie said it's not the person who dies with the most toys who wins. It's the person who plays with the most toys who wins

That is the most amazing collection of automobiles, automobilia, motorcycles, bicycles, and toys I have ever seen. The rarity of what's in his collection is absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting. Every car/cycle nut needs to see this set of videos.

We've all seen plenty of auctions and estate sales but what makes this collection unique is that EVERY SINGLE ITEM is AWESOME! (Except for that stupid pink girls NEXT bike) That guy had "the eye" and knew just the right time to pull his wallet out, and when to leave it tucked safely in his pocket.
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz would literally $h!# themselves to death at the sight of that stuff.
