Jim Hanke (wheelhop) and I had a busy but fun weekend. We left Friday morning for a road trip to Colorado To deliver the Douglass Yenko and pick up the 1968 Camaro I took on trade. We left at 5:30 am and got to Waynes at about7:30pm. We stayed long enough to drop off the trailer and take a quick tour of his collection since we were going to stay at a friend of Jims who lives about 90 minutes away. We were going to go back in the morning to unload and reload.
When we arrived at Jims friends house it was about 10 pm.
Jims friend Mark had a 71 Camaro and a older Buick 225 conv. so he also was a car guy. Anyways we talked for a while and I went to bed. The next morning we woke up and Mark shows me his cars and asks if he could come see the collection. I called Wayne and he said ok. When we get there Mark sees the 68 Camaro and ends up buying it from me. Check attachment

While moving cars around I am thinking about I have a few extra dollars and we are going to be heading back to Chicago with a empty trailer. Something didnt seem right about this. I start looking around and then remember the night before Wayne was saying how he just bought a car it was a 600 mile original paint car so he now has two of them. I asked him what he was doing with the other and the answer was he was going to sell it. Thats all I needed to hear a little later I had a car to bring back with me.
