Clint Vickers 68z28kk

[marxjunk]

i know...its so sad..its all for sale...he had multiple properties and i guess they are just worth so much it isnt practicle to store cars..i really dont know what happened..the family is well off..maybe looking at them hurts i dont know

i just know the hounds are at the door and they are breaking up his life time collection..soon there will be no proof he even had a hot rod

I found out he had the 69 since 72 and close on the time line for the 68Z..they are nice cars..

i miss him..and loosing him changed me...thats for sure..it was like loosing your buddy....you grandpa, a cool uncle and maybe your dad in one swipe...he was good to me and had lots of free advice and shared much wisdom...

im trying to decide if i need to sell a bunch of cars as i age or what....if my family doesnt appreciate them..maybe i should i dont know..

maybe its selfish to leave them to the family if they dont really care..i know, none of my nephews or sisters could even care..theyd sell them and get stupid with the money

if i had a few x-boxes there would probably be a fight over them..lol

Mark...as was said above, you are a good guy-and Clint was one in a million. Treasure the time that you had together-and utilize his words of wisdom

Know this is an old thread and miss Clint tremendously since considered him my best friend and hard to believe he has been gone over 3 years. He bought the 69 big block car if I remember right about 1996 or 1997 not 72 from Paul at Muncie Auto Salvage but was a 38k original mile car with actual warranty CE block replaced in that car with all other original engine components which originated in California and had a nasty Burgundy Imron paint job but no rust. Was taken in on a tow and not a junk car. He restored it back to new in the original color Garnet Red with lacquer. The 1968 RS Z28 was also bought out of salvage and believe it was around 1992 and unlike the big block car was there as salvage but a one owner local car which he tracked everything down to even original owner. He restored it back to new in it's original Tripoli Turquoise color. Never finished it completely because didn't want grandkids to drive it. I own both the 1968 RS/SS L78 Camaro convertible and 1968 SS 396 Camaro coupe believed to be a Dana. Almost done with the L78 and in home stretch on rotisserie restoration on the one he believed to be a Dana. I have pictures of pretty much all of his cars and will need to resize pictures to fit so I can upload them here and will try to tonight.

Here are the pictures of cars in order below. Maybe this will help Clint and his passion and collection of cars not be forgotten. Was hard to get good pictures of 69 BB and 68 Z in carriage house. This isn't all of his cars but some great ones. He also had an amazing collection of NOS and original parts along with ton of automotive memorabilia.
