COMPLETE LIST OF ALL MUFFLER MAN SALES - In the last 24 years there have been over 155 sales of Muffler Men and related giants. If you happen to be in the right place at the right time, you have probably seen a giant on his back cruising down the road at 70 mph headed for a new home, but where? Sometimes it's hard to keep track of what went where and when. To add to the confusion, we have seen some giants sell multiple times in a single decade and a whole army of new giants are being created by people like Mark Cline. American Giants has been working hard to create a complete listing of all sales since the year 2000 forward. This has been a massive effort that has taken weeks of work but we feel we have a pretty good handle on the sales and movements of these giants. This list has been added in the "Essentials" section of our Patreon and we want to thank those of you who support us and are happy to make this list available to you. If you notice any missing sales, or incorrect dates we are happy to correct the list and keep it updated over the years! https://www.patreon.com/posts/complete-listing-116354461

We have an exciting week of travel ahead for American Giants. I will be speaking at The Miles of Possibility conference in Edwardsville, IL on Friday Nov 1 and then will be on site at the American Giants Museum on Nov 2, 1-4pm and Nov 3 10-12PM. The Museum will be closed for the season starting Nov 4 so come hang out one last time this year. Joining me will be Muffler Man Photographer and youtuber Mike Curtis, Muffler Man Collector Lee Woods and possibly Michael Taylor who makes the 3D printed minis we did an episode on. Also check out a new fiberglass statue we will be installing in the museum! Hope to see you there!
