Denis Varni's collection, in his Speed Nymph Garage, rivals any other car collection




from land speed streamliners, belly tankers, and a 200mph club roadster, to La Carrera racing Lincoln, Yellowstone tour bus, a Coddington built AMBR winner, to European racers like a D type Jag that raced at Sebring, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghni... and even was the subject of a Grey Baskerville article in Hot Rod. Seriously, that to me is a christmas tree topper to a collection of hot rod stuff


It's roughly 5 dozen cars and a dozen motorcycles, give or take a few
For a really good gallery of his collection of souvenirs and petroliana: http://www.speedseekers.de/werner/#&gid=psgal_218_1&pid=36

  1. Hello
    DO you still have the Herda 999 car? My mother is trying to sell an engine that was the same as they ran at the salt. If you know anyone looking for an original hemi let me know - she also still has many photos and some parts

    1. Are you kidding? Sure, yeah, I have that car, and 6 million others. I have every car I've ever posted a photo of.

      Jesus, get real!
      Try reading, or have someone read for you, and help you understand the words that are above and below every photo on this website. Those words have meaning if you can stretch your mind long enough to comprehend them.

      When the word collection follows someone's name, in the title of a post like this one? That means the images in the post are about that persons collection. Not mine.

      It's making more sense to me all the time why reading comprehension is so important in high school tests.
