Re: Otis Chandler Passed
He lived a long and fruitful life.....godspeed Otis.
I admired his ability to love of many types of vehicles whether new or old, sports racers, pre war, classic, race, muscle, etc he was into it. Otis owned the first legal 959 Porsche in USA and was not allowed to drive it, even on a private track. A very cool guy.

Re: Otis Chandler Passed
Now that you mention the 959 he told me all about that too. He was going to take it out to Willow Springs Raceway out in Rosamond, California. He had asked if I wanted to come out and go for a ride.

Re: Otis Chandler Passed
Sorry to hear of his passing. Still have to find the book that covers what cars he collected.
God-Speed Mr Chandler,

He was a straight up guy. A couple years after I sold him that cuda I bought a 69 Hemi Daytona from him. He sent me a nice handwritten letter. He had the strangest handwriting! A lot of people told me to hold on to that letter as he was supposedly not known to write letters.
