I remember looking at the website a while back, it mentions 350 cars, but also mentions Lemay's 3500 car collection how many cars are at Tacoma? 350 or 3500?

Ryan

[Canuck]

Lemay had 3000 cars there are between 350 and 400 on display with more in storage for Rotation. Not sure how many of his 3000 remain.
