Got a call from my realtor that there is an offer on my 36,000 sq ft old Chrysler-Plymouth dealership building that is absolutely full to the brim with Mopar parts and cars. It will be a painful winter watching all that I have acquired over the years heading out the doors, but it needs to be done. Now starts the task of figuring out what I want to keep. I have an auction company waiting to go through everything, but I am not sure that is the best way to do it since they usually get things sold pennies on the dollar. It is surely the quick way to do things, but the negotiation has not yet started on how long I have before the new owner wants possession...

I feel for you man! Its taken me 2 years to sort out the stuff that was in my two, two car garages. I wouldn't want to have to make the decision on most of the stuff that you had in there. Guess that means there won't be a spring swap meet in 2022? Bummer! Maybe there will be a huge liquidation sale? Gene

Time to move on with my life, just can't stand another year in Illinoise. The problem is do I move to Tennessee or Florida, I have opportunities in each state... Florida is an OK place to visit , but I dont think I would want to live there. if I did I think it would have to be the north eastern portion. Tenn would be a maybe as long as it was southern portion. In regards to your impending move,,,,,,I dont envy you. in any way thats for sure I helped a guy move a similar size bldg about 25 years ago, also full of cars and parts. We had maybe a dozen people and it still took us several weekends and god only knows how many trips

Hope wherever you land Rhino you find it to be a perfect match! I remember when you first stepped in to that building. I thought the power bills would eventually be too painful to tolerate. Hope the auction results ease the pain of leaving - It's a good time to be selling real estate (not a great time to be buying however) - Keep us updated on your landing zone once you figure it out

Best of luck with the sale & move, Rhino. If I was going to move out of Georgia, Tennessee would be the place. As said, Florida is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't even consider living there. Tim

Given a choice between FL and TN, TN would be it for me, FA is too hot during the summer, but then TN might not be much better.

I can feel your pain, my thinking, do like a band aid, just be quick about it, its all just stuff anyway. Curious about the building, what year was that built? Its got a touch of art deco? Are new owners going to use it, or tear it down? With all the Floridians moving to Tenn, I surprised they haven't yet built a wall.

With all the Floridians moving to Tenn, I surprised they haven't yet built a wall. 1921 it was built to be a Dodge Brothers dealership but never opened as that, don't know much between then and 1944 when it became a DeSoto dealership then Plymouth and Chrysler until 2009 when a certain President decided there was no room to let dealers for Chrysler make money anymore...

Move all the parts to a former limestone or underground coal mine in retirement Kentucky, or if you prefer, a cave. The “Karst Geology” area around Bowling Green/Mammoth Cave National Park is riddled with underground space. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/kentucky/underground-places-ky/Remember what happened at the Corvette museum? Even if you do not seek out a cave, the cave may come to you.

Depends on weather you prefer Hurricanes or Tornados.....buddy of mine lives in Florida...it gets so humid there he works on his car at 3am.
