BS or no BS?

Had a tow-truck take my Cobra back to Lockhart today, and this guy was in a talkative mood, so he was telling me a story about a guy who went to an auction and bid on some railroad cars and won them for $10k. However, when they opened them up, each had a bunch of crates with ORIGINAL dissassembled Shelby Cobras

-- I think he first said 12, then later said 32.

And 2 crates of parts. Says the guy built a house with a underground parking that holds 20 cars, so he builds one per year and sells it for a million bucks. Said this guy was a friend of his.

So here's the fun part -- I asked what this guy's name is, and he responded quite quickly: "Steve Morris".

So what's your vote: BS or no BS? My vote is that he heads up the BS society.

Cheers,
-Neil.

The story, as written, is complete BS. I think he got confused with the story about the Bugattis. There was a guy who got a train load of Bugattis, literally, for around $80,000. In all, I think he got 32 cars of various years, pre 1945's I believe, and various models. 80 grand for 32 vintage Bugattis, sounds like a deal to me. The story is not BS, it was in an issue of Automobile.

Yeah, it's funny how he would get confused when he claimed that he was there himself and helped open up the railroad cars when they discovered the Cobras.
