Myron Vernis has one of the most eccentric car collections in the world. At Jalopnik he’s known as Junkman and at his garage in Ohio he’s simply an automotive enthusiast with a taste for the unique, the odd, and the rare. He ran the Glenmore Gathering of Significant Automobiles for 18 years in Canton Ohio. He claims to have a bad case of automotive ADD. Just a few of his cars include: the XR-1, an Olson Eagle, the one off Hoffman X-8, an Aileron Spyder, a Paxton, and the Ghia 450SS. Myron has over 75 cars and he’s always looking for that next unique ride that few have seen or heard of.

I came across Myron’s Mazda Luce at a little diner in Akron yesterday. I’ve since done a bit of research to learn that I was in the presence of a one of a kind car, owned by a one of a kind man. I wish I had gone in to ask who owned this beauty! I did get an interesting photo of both our cars and shared it with my friends in the Ohio Miata Owners group. I hope to one day meet Myron, and his impressive collection!
Thank you for your comments Heidi. Myron is indeed a impressive automotive enthusiast.
Hi Myron, I remember you from Dave Walters. You and Nancy Perry traded a bathtub Porsche back and forth. I’d like to talk with you about a Porsche 944. My phone is 330-697-2749 if you’re available to talk about it.
Hello Myron
Just wanted to wish you a happy holiday season and nothing but good health and prosperity in the future. I miss you
Fred Steinke.
