RE: When Old Car Guys Die????

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Obviously, there are auctioneers all over the place who will handle this, but, If you have time, you could help this guy out by posting these items appropriately,
(eg posting Mopar stuff on this mail list and ask for interested buyers to contact you off the mail list), then move on to larger marketplaces like eBay or Hemmings
if necessary.
If he will take the time to first go to the Corvette guys, go to the Mopar guys, go to the Pontiac guys, and so on,  its really appreciated and he'll get a good return.
Of course you get a fee or some kind of commission for your part.
Just some thoughts, having no real knowledge of the situation!
Best of luck, Donny, 64 Belvedere
