When he went pro in baseball (he played in the triple A minor league) he had to go up to Colorado for like 2 years for baseball crap.. Some allstar team or something i dunno and he didn't want anyone to steal his corvette while he was gone so he took the entire car apart. Obviously big the huge pieces like the frame and engine and what not were not put in the wall but he said a good 75% of the car was put behind it including wheels, tires, axles, drive shafts, doors, transmission crap, and a bunch of other stuff. He tore down the wall and stored everything behind the wallpaper and sheetrock and then redid the wall.. When he got back 2 years later he took a hammer (took pictures while doing it) to the wall and began tearing it down... The pictures show all kinds of random car parts hanging on the wall behind the wallpaper and if he hadn't told you it was there you would have never known. He rebuilt the car, drove it around for a couple of more years, and then ended up selling it for i think almost 5 times the price that he bought it for. I'd be driving it right now if my mom hadn't made him sell it
