Back when I bought the lighted MOTiON sign from Verne in 2004,he asked that I spend more than 1 day with him.As he wanted to show me all of his cars & parts he had collected.I wish I spent the week,as his stories & collection were incredible,and his wife never stopped cooking either..

Verne was one of the the most unselfish people I have met in the hobby. He was always willing to share his vast knowledge of these cars with those that were interested. He was a tremendous help to us in making corrections to our 409 over the years. I spoke with him briefly in person at the show when he coordinated the 409 Invitational at MCACN but corresponded regularly via e-mail over the years. Another great loss to the hobby. Thank you for helping take care of his car stuff for his wife - not always an easy or fun task.

BAT Auction Link
The auction for Verne's 1963 Impala is now live on BAT. Here is a link to it:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-chevrole t-i... It's a 7 day No Reserve auction ending May 31 in the afternoon. For those unfamiliar with Bring A Trailer auctions, any bid placed in the last 2 minutes of the auction extends the auction by 2 additional minutes. There is no sniping of auctions possible. That is a very fair way to conduct an auction I think. Anyway, take a look and feel free to add a comment or two. Especially if you knew Verne and or the car. Verne was special and so is this car. Thank you everyone. Thomas

Verne's 409 Cars
Next up for auction later this year, Verne had 2 - 1962 Impala Super Sports. Both are 409, 4 speed cars. I'll post a heads up when I get them on BAT.
Thanks everyone for all the positive comments. Verne is missed by us all. Thomas
