My dear friend and mentors estate is being liquidated, this weekend is the sale of a lifetime of Chevy race parts and cars. The Facebook link is all I have, watch the video you cannot imagine the parts and cars being sold.

Wow, that's an amazing collection, but sad to see a lifetime of investment get pieced out.
Do you know how much they are pricing the cars for?

If you have a big block stick shift car, be there or be square. All of John's stuff is first class.

No way they can sell all that stuff in two days! Someone is going to get a deal of a lifetime.

all I know from one conversation with the estate sale woman is the vehicles will be sealed bid, and a bank holds the paper on all of them and the bank will be reviewing bids at a later date-she was emphatic no one will drive off in a vehicle even if theya re the high bid, if the money is not enough it will be a no sale and the bank will take another look. As for the Olyenik car haulers I can tell everyone the red truck is a 1976, 20 foot, the cab is rotted away at the rear mounts underneath and the engine has low compression in one cylinder. The Black truck is a 1982 I believe very nice unit-originally purchased by jim Lydon (PGH Hemi racer) with an automatic trans and 454. It currently has a 502/clark overdrive manual 5 speed/motorhome 70k rear axle with big disc brakes and a million other little things done by a man who LOVED his Chevy trucks. I have a lot of knowledge about what is there, and I also do not know a thing about a lot of what is there. I am flying in Thursday and can hopefully help a little at the sale, as it appears I know more about everything there and the man who owned them than everyone else-others (local) who knew anything died before John

A lifetime collection of parts and cars but it has little meaning other than $ to those left to handle our estate when we pass, it’s just stiff and it’s sale part of life.

I commend you Scott for helping the family and fellow racers who might give parts of the collection a worthy home. Contrary to 660Ed’s opinion I wouldn’t dismiss John’s passion as “just stuff” and “little meaning”.

Very cool lifetime collection of cars and parts. you can tell by watching the video that he saved everything. I was amazed by the collection of NOS blocks and heads. Lots of tools and equipment. Shelves of Richmond and DNE type transmissions. I did not know John but knew of him.
