Yes, many of them get written up in my various columns in the 356 and 911S Registry magazines. But the why is normally the classic, ""I'll get to it."
I normally ask these guys who have 10+ cars, "How many cars do you have left in you?"
In my experience it takes about 5 years to do a car, I mean really do it. So does the average guy have 50 years left? Or maybe closer to 15-20 of days you can really hump a car. I know I have at least 10-15 years of cars in front of me.
Between the 550 and 904 projects that's at least 5 years, maybe more. Then I have the A Coupe that won Daytona, that looks like it lived on the bottom of a lake. That's why I'm not taking on any more personal projects. I like to live by the Code of Clint, "A Man's Gotta Know His Limitations."
