Unreal collection---

Out of curiosity, what does Kevin do for a living to amass such a collection?

I'm not familiar with his history.

I was always impressed by Patrick McGroder's Factory Muscle collection in Arizona, although now disbanded. Lot's of early-Sixties Factory race cars such as the Schultz &amp; Shriver maroon '63 Z-11, an factory assembled aluminum front end '62 Impala (now Milton's), the George Delorean '63 SD 421 Tempest, and lots of other early-to-mid Sixties Factory race cars. Don Fezell's Pensylvania collection is another neat one with THREE '63 Z-11's. I've always thought that the '62-'65 Factory Drag car era was the peak of factory Hi-Performance involvement from the Big Three automakers: Aluminum &amp; fiberglass body parts, factory crossram and tunnel rams, batteries in the trunk, factory exhaust dumps, radio &amp; heater deletes were almost common place, etc. Not trying to piss off anyone here, but MOST everything after 1965 was a street car.

I see one of my old cars there! He called me from the Phil airport after it was certified in about 1995. He was on his way back to the west caost. Two days later, he showed up on my door step and bought the car. It's featured in JM's book also.

Great collections no doubt! There are many other significant collections which are not, in the public eye. You can get to see a sampling of some of those cars at MCACN.

All of those collections are/were awesome, don't forget about Dick Bridges - that 'Row of Red Z's was quite cool. Also, Cliff Ernst - that cover shot on Super Chevy is nice. The one that really got me hooked was Randy Leffingwell's book on Otis Chandler's collection, great book!

Janne, is Milton´s car the Judge GTO 4-speed convertible (242670B113XXX) that at one time was owned by three guys in Stockholm and that was later sold to the USA by a guy on Öland (brokered by Mats B)?

One of my contractor buddies went to a tour at the Marvin window plant and was treated to a show of the private collection of Bob Marvin. I have not been able to find anything on this collection which is apparently quite significant. Anyone know of this?

I heard rumors of it and know of a couple of 1 of 1 nice GM pieces that are in there. There's 1 car that was for sale on this site 3-4 years ago that ended up in there.

The Albaugh collection in central Iowa certainly deserves mention....at least one convertible for every year and model Chevrolet made from 1912-1975 I believe....Corvettes, Camaros, BelAirs, Impalas, Chevelles, etc. Last I knew the collection was up over 140 cars. He has expanded into some rare musclecars with Yenkos, Z16, LS6 El Camino, etc.

Collection is not open to the public except on special ocassions. Very nice facility and an impressive collection. Sold a car to him about a year ago.....still having withdrawals.

Dick...you had a really nice car.

The weather should be nice for the weekend, sunny and in the low 50's.
A guy I've know for a long time who works for McDorman told me that all of the cars are now in running order, and that he is going to sell all but 10 of his collection.
He got way buried in his floor plan, so he has to raise capital to keep the business going. No reserve! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Which one are you kicking yourself harder about selling? :) I'd like to have both the TA and the stick SD mill in my garage now :)

Although I've seen what's in your garage you're not hurting for goodies haha!

I sold that 69 Trans Am convertible which was an automatic to Milt in 1986 I still had a four-speed 69 TA convertible in the stable at the time.
As far as the 73 Super Duty 4speed ZJ Motor I was able to help put that back into the original car 20 ( red 73 TA )years later.

southernfriedcj 01-06-2020 01:31 AM

I'd would not have let that convertible T/A get away under any circumstances.

That must have been hard to find in the pre internet days.

auwrestling 01-06-2020 01:53 AM

When it comes to hanging on to rare cars family will always come first !!
Actually I found all seven cars (69 TA CONVs ) before 1985 and purchased two of them. Just had to dig everywhere , using resources available And it really helped selling parts

It would be very interesting to hear more about how you were able to locate the 7 cars!

Hi Dave if you’d like to hear some of the stories feel free to call me anytime 716-536-2047 found one of them about 10 miles from my house back in 1979 and purchased it soon after.

Xplantdad 01-06-2020 04:34 PM

Was one of the 7 convertibles located in Yorba Linda, Ca. at any point? Or off of Imperial highway and the 91 Fwy:hmmm:

You would have to give me the time period . But my records don’t show any of being in Southern California . Except for the short time Otis Chandler owned my old automatic

Xplantdad 01-06-2020 06:50 PM

It would have been the mid 80's...1982 to 1984?

No definitely not at that time period . I was locked in solid on 7 and knew the owners and where they all were at that time .
