theres an auction and a few things i saw was a 68 W30...some D heads..a Ralley 350... some Hurst wheels...and a bunch if 65 cutlass stuff and a few 69 cutlass ragtops..

I wish i was closer, just to go...auctions and collections like this a just not happening much anymore....

There was a lot on discussion on these cars on FB a few weeks ago. Supposedly the Buick is a documented Motion car. I asked if the 68 W30 could be too and someone (I think it was Tweed), said the Motion car was returned to Oldsmobile after it was campaigned and sold as a used car so they didn't think this was it.


This guy was the king of "I'm going to get to it someday"





Future Documented W30 on Barrett-Jackson....lol




It doesn't even look like this one's been opened:

 

IM THAT GUY..AND IM HAPPY WITH MY STUFF SITTING AROUND...

i will get to some of it..and when i'm gone who cares...it can all get crushed..but right now..i am very happy lookin at all my junk....i look at them and remember the whole adventure of buying..traveling..making the deal...good times..many i got with friends that have passed on...

the more junk i have laying around the happier i am..no junk..and i know i am in financial probs..just the way it for me..

 

I'm not ashamed to say that my estate auction will look a lot like this one...

At least I am now working on the 69 H/O, so "someday" does get here eventually.

 

Mark, I care if all this stuff was crushed after I'm gone. If I can't use it I hope that someone else could. Isn't that the whole point?

25 years ago a work colleague was selling a piece of property in lower west Upstate, NY. When I inquired about the asking price he said and I quote "I'd never sell it to you, I like my neighbors and you would have the place loaded with junk cars before you even closed on it!" I laughed and said "that might be the most accurate statement I've ever heard come out of your mouth."

Point is, if I had the room I'd be right there with you guys.

 

cars and parts will get you thru times of no money better then money will get you thru time of no cars or parts!

 

luckily i have a building big enough to keep the good stuff under cover..

i am always rotating inventory..and over the decades, if i get better stuff..i keep it and move the lesser stuff..usually they become parts cars..

i was being obnoxious about "who cares" ( i know, its not like me)...when im gone there will be an auction im sure..and all the scrappers will be there too..

im giving most of my stuff away before i die..unless its untimely..and i have a plan there too...its all figured out......

but i am in process of getting down to the cars i love...ive sold a few...and believe me..i dont sell many cars..never have..unless i am desperate and ready to be homeless...

on the other hand..and as a realist..everything is for sale...im just not interested in selling...does that make sense?

 

That 1968 442 W30 looks real to me.
