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?

[Frank Castros]

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

[Dyno]

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

[Barry Polley]

Unreal!

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.
