There has to be 100 million plus in this guys collection.

Sultan of Michigan's car collection is one of nicest we've ever seen

Watch the video, insane......

We've been through a lot of great car collections and museums over the years, but even we have to admit that we've never seen a private collection like this. Assembled by a shadowy figure known only as "The Sultan of Michigan," this cache has something for car enthusiasts of most every stripe, although the focus is clearly on vintage and present-day muscle and Eighties-and-up supercars. Truck enthusiasts, vintage foreign guys and brass car enthusiasts will largely have to look elsewhere, but it's a magnificent collection, with the most flabbergasting thing being that it appears to be up-to-the-minute current.

The whereabouts and ownership of the collection are two things that the owner prefers to keep private – we actually have confirmation on both, but prefer to respect privacies. What we can confirm is that this treasure trove is, in fact, located in Michigan, which is both heartening (to know that such wealth and mechanical beauty still exists in the state) and somewhat confounding (as the area lacks truly great winding roads on which to exploit much of the machinery). In either case, the collection is generally kept under wraps, although periodically we understand that the owner invites in selected parties to share in the gorgeousness. Some of the folks at MidwestSSC.com are obviously part of the 'inner circle' judging by the video and this photo gallery. Follow the jump to take the tour for yourself. Thanks to Andrew Weber for use of his video, and we appreciate the tips, Justin and Evan!

sick, I was kinda worried as I did not see any Corvettes, than he hits the second room and it is full of vettes. Everything from a 53 all the way up until the new z06 and zr1.

Holy crap...that's...astounding.

I think what is pretty cool is that his collection is mass appeal, cars that were affordable to the general public. (except for the italians at the end)

Most collections you see by Leno or other big collectors if full of very rare cars that most never knew that even existed or one-offs.

This collection is like going down every year from the 60's on until today and buying the baddest muscle car from each of the big three and putting it your garage.

great looking Grand Natinoal and 442 in there

My first car was an '85 442: every ticket I ever received I got in that car.

Wish I still had it; black on grey.

I saw thread and I thought it was about a guy who tells an auto enthusiast all day that he's a reerun if he doesn't want the chiefs to draft a qb

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!

This is a collector after my heart. He's got an awesome collection of Vette's (the old zr-1 and the new zr 1). Then he's got just about every Ferrari you would ever want to own. The F40, F50, Enzo, 575M, and 599GTB Fiorano. He even has a Porsche Carrera GT, the Bugatti Veyron, and an assorted variety of Rolls and Bentley's.

Started with a '68 LeMans convertible in my youth. Yellow with a black top (same as that '70 Super Bee. yes I know, different manufacturer and all). Personally, I preferred that first room with the American made muscle.

I did enjoy the credits at the end where they credited Ferrari with some of the "musical" score.

Alfa Romeo Competizone 8C. Nice.

Had about everything, only 1 BMW though.

Inf'ingcredible!

Too bad they couldn't have found a sober cameraman

stevieray · 03-29-2009, 12:51 PM

I liked how the 'Cudas (and one challenger ..r/t440 perhaps) were in the corner with cars blocking them in.

The exotics are sweet, but I'm a sucker for 60's muscle cars..well, other than the PorschA.
