...the measure of a man....I don't think we need to delete or move anything anymore. Just continue with Larry's stuff from this point k.

It looks like November 10th is the date for auction.

That would be it.... I encourage everyone who can make it to come out and bid. I believe 1/3 of the proceeds go to Larry's widow, Dee. Also the 69 Chevy Nova that is listed is a documented numbers matching L78 4spd bench car. Gold/black interior with low miles. I believe in the 7000 range. It is apart and needs a complete restoration finished. There's also many other rare parts listed. Stuff I know he was gathering for his Baldwin/Motion cars. Aluminum LS7 heads and such. Looks like his Pantera will be there also. I think he told me it had a rattle in the motor when he parked it. The 80 Elcamino listed I think is really an 84 and is a Super Sport. It sat at my place for awhile. It needs a motor and a paint job. The '97 Dodge 3500 ext. cab, Cummins, auto & '93 Aluminum car hauler, 8 x 20 is the Red one many of you seen him use to haul his Baldwin/Motion Vette to Supercar Reunion 7. It's tough to see it all come to this.. but let's at least get as much of his stuff in the hands of his friends as possible. I wish I had the money...

How disturbing to see a list of Larry's stuff being sold and the funds not completely going in the right direction.

A real reminder to have all your affairs in order to protect those you leave behind.

.."Also the 69 Chevy Nova that is listed is a documented numbers matching L78 4spd bench car. Gold/black interior with low miles. I believe in the 7000 range. It is apart and needs a complete restoration finished"...

Larry bought this Nova from a friend of mine up here.I was surprised when he sold it,and told me a guy down south came and picked it up and nothing else...end of story.
A few days later Larry posted on this site about his new acquisition..this Nova.

Have another look at this.. Photos have been posted on the site.

I hope to see some of this stuff make it into the hands of Larry's friends on this site.

A little more info on the cars that I know about.. The 65 Corvette I believe Larry said was the 11th car built and 1st one with disc brakes. (don't take this as gospel btw, I'm going from memory here)..

The 69 Camaro they list as a Z28 I'm pretty sure is not a Z28. It has a built 350 in it 4spd. I think it has a 12 bolt with 4.10s.. but may be a 10 bolt. I can't remember. Has a metal cowl hood. RS grill but was not orginally an RS car. Pretty much needs completly restored. Larry said it ran very strong.

The 91 Lexus was Larrys driver and was in pretty nice shape.

The 72 and 73 Stingrays were two of the cars we moved around a few times getting the Motion cars out and when Larry switched storage facilities. Both cars need the fiberglass refinished.. and pretty much restored.. Most All the cars have been sitting a long time.

The 82 GMC Flatbed truck runs and drives. It's yellow. 350 4spd with the granny low. Dually

The 79 Chevy 4dr dually has a 454 /automatic in it but wasn't running. It sat for a long time as well.

The 78 Z28 is wrecked. There are a couple threads in the "for sale" section where Larry was trying to sell that one with pics posted.

I guess the list of parts speaks for itself.

Btw, I'm not involved in this auction. And I only learned of it myself this morning when Rick P. posted the link. Just trying to help out with what I know about some of the cars. I hope to see some of you guys there. Hopefully I can get lucky and come home with something to hang on to.

Is anybody going?
