remember the trailers with the HUGE stash of parts and cars?

[jims69camaro]

it was going to be offered for sale May 9-10. yeah, i know, but i just got around to reading the May 2008 Hemmings Muscle Machines. anyway, supposedly the old/new owner, Scott Milestone, moved all of the parts and five complete cars to Rockville, MD in anticipation of the auction, which was to be held by Bud Ward's Auction Company in Clarksburg, MD at the beginning of this month.

two of the cars were LS6 Chevelles and a '69 Z/28 Camaro accompanied the others to the sale. i haven't been able to find any results of the sale, so i have no clue what they went for, whether it was broken up or sold as a lot. what a stash of parts that was, though. i remember thinking and talking about it for months after they found it, and it got full magazine coverage back then. probably someone with more money then brains ended up with the stuff and it's currently cooling itself in a climate controlled garage. and now we get to talk about that stash anew. discussion...

I remember seeing that and my immediate thought was cool stuff, but completely overwhelming for any single person to undertake. I mean it would take years to catalog the stuff accurately, determine ballpark value etc. etc. etc. That led me to think that a company such as Year One (or similar co.) should step in and buy it. They have the resources, both from a monetary and manpower standpoint to go through it and put those parts back into the muscle car community versus letting them sit in a warehouse collecting dust.

Cool stuff for sure, but my days of being awwed by #'s matching stuff is long over, probably because of proliferation of clones, fakes and such. No doubt it is still a long and arduous task to do high level #'s type restorations, but I just don't get all excited over it anymore.

Hopefully someone or group of someone's put those parts to good used. The going price for scrap is climbing every day......hahahaha....I hope not

Is this the same thing as those four or five tractor trailer trailers that were filled with vintage factory 60's and 70's GTO parts that were on Ebay like two years ago?
