Default Verne Frantz 1963 Anniversary Gold Impala For Sale On Bring A Trailer
Hello everyone, I hope this post doesn't conflict with the forum guide lines. It will be of interest to forum members. This concerns a former forum member, Verne_Frantz who many of you knew and who passed away unexpectedly in 2021. Verne was a highly respected and knowledgeable member here. Verne was the owner of a remarkable all original, including factory paint, 1963 Anniversary Gold Impala.

This car will be auctioned off in a No Reserve auction shortly on Bring A Trailer. Many of you, especially those on the east coast, might be familiar with this car and those of you here on this forum knew Verne. He's been gone about 2 1/2 years now and we are all the poorer for it. The car now has just under 80,000 documented miles and has all past ownership documents that will go with the car. Verne was the 4th owner and it is still titled in his name. He owned the car for 27 years. Once the auction starts I'll be back with a link to it. 100% of the proceeds from the auction go directly to Verne's wife. I hope this post meets with the forum guide lines and approval. Thank you.

Thomas

Verne was well respected and willing help and educate us on the cars he was so knowledgeable and passionate on. He was also a member of the Vintage Certification team.

We have an ultra low 5k mile Impala SS for Vintage Certification that he would be all over and in his element.

This tugs a string with me. My dad(still alive) has had an anniversary gold 63SS around since 1985. One of the first cars I drove..

I rarely log on to this site without thinking of Verne. We spoke by phone and communicated via PM and email. Never got to meet him face to face.

He was a great resource when I was drafting the Oklahoma law regarding trim tags.

I agree, Thomas, "...we are all the poorer..." as a result of losing Verne.

Default Verne...
I had the good fortune to share a swap meet spot at GM Carlisle with Verne back in 2009...we had a great time.

He was a true 'car guy'....
