AACA Battlefield Chapter Car Collection Tour Saturday August 6 2011

The car club I belong to toured a personal car collection owned by a gentlemen who lives south of Nashville, TN., in country singer Alan Jackson's former home. Jackson had built the garages to house his car collection, and they now are the home for the new owner of the property's car collection.
Most of the ones you'll see below are resto-moded and are in his view, "meant to be driven". The owner was the founder of COPARTS, and he's retired in the Nashville area after leaving California.

The only request he had was that we drive our antique cars if possible, and he told us to go ahead and open, sit in but don't start any of the cars in his collection. He re-emphasized that these are all Drivers.

The cars were really cool to see, and he has a Mopar interest.

Nice collection!The house and pond look familiar.The property reminds me of the same as in the movie Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze(RIP)Could it be??

LOL, Petty, could be.
The one Challenger had an unmolested 340 in it, and still had the stock manifolds, air cleaner, etc.
I agree, Demon, i liked that green Challenger convertible the best as well. The red one next to it had the Viper engine in it; talk about a tire shredder.
The owner still has eighty (80) more cars of this type stored in California. He's about to break ground for a new building not far from these garages to house the ones which still haven't made it to Tennessee yet. Can you say "Unlimited Income?" (LOL)
