what i can see in the pics
at least 3 corvette fuel injection intakes, some 60's smog equipment, tons of big block parts, what appears to be a set of parnelli mag wheels(beat ****less they are about $2000 a set nowadays), several large capacity corvette big block oil pans(the ones in the pile that the sides sort of bubble out), many sets of center caps/trim rings/rims that would all be dated for pure resto guys, a davis fuel injection intake(high performance aftermarket version of the stock vetter system), a hugger yenko(god i hope thats real), the transmission pile has at least 3 powerglides that i cna pick out at a glance, a pallet with 7 corvette aluminum fan wheels(can't tell if it is actually more of them sitting underneath), prolly 50 cranks, piles of blcoks, heads, corvette side pipe skirts and resonators.....................teh lsit jsut goes on and on.
i don't know how anyone would manage to sit on that much stuff. must have been in business or ripping people off for 50+ years to get that kind of a collection.

The trailers that the stuff was stored in were welded shut so nobody could break into them. I heard the guy passed away and his sister sold everything to the place for $1 million. They are trying to sell it all as one huge package for $3 million. If you look close, there has to be at least 15-20 corvette fuelie intakes alone. You could buy the stuff and spend the next 5-10 years trying to sell it off piece by piece after identifying it and putting it on Ebay. Then you could retire with your profit.

and before anyone starts the "OMG?!?! $3mill?!?!"
it woudl be worth every penny. that yenko alone would prolly drop for $200k easy, one of teh vettes in teh picture has fuelie badges on it, that is another $300k easy, and the pallet of wheels in that picture would be worth $200+ each at least.....you can see where this is going
if i had the money i would be on this deal like it was the last chopper out of Nam.
anyone care to invest with me? i woudl want to keep the yenko and the 71 Z28, the rest of the cars and parts woudl be for sale. hmmm, buy now and give away big blocks as xmas presents!!!!!! lol

Holy wow....I need to play the lottery. Just enough to win that stuff, and be able to afford some land to park those trailers on.

That is definitely a real Yenko. I know the guy who sold the car to him way back when. Why the guy sealed everything up and never made any money off of it is a mystery.

i have read that a lot of people pull the stock head rests out of the yenko's if they drive the cars. the stiching in the "sYc" is apparently really thick and gets annoying quickly.

it makes one sick to think about it. i wonder if he drove any of them? was he in business or was he looking to cash in on the bubble and passed away first? why his relatives wouldn't hire someone to go through that lot properly, identify everything and sell it a piece at a time is beyond me. they sold it short at $1mil.
