Re: Ray Skillman Collection
Just when I think I am doing ok and I could afford a L-78 Nova. I see pictures like these of one person's collection and I realize there are some real serious people collecting these cars with more ability and backing than I could ever dream of. A person could have a career in just keeping the place this clean. Dan, does the under hood picture with the aluminum heads belong to the blue Nova? Can you tell us more about what you saw please?

Re: Ray Skillman Collection
Ray Skillman was an advertiser on the Mecum auctions shown on the HD Channel.
Here is his web site - http://www.rayskillmanclassiccars.com/showroom.aspx |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
Dan, I was of course interested in seeing the WHITE L-78 70 Camaro(saw the 6500/700 tach). Do you happen to know what RPO the Hugger Orange L-78 was ?????
I am forwarding this thread onto Mike S who is trying to gather info for the 70 Camaro L-78 registry Interested to know the bio on Ray Skillman Makes Kevin Suydams collection look small! Thanks so much for sharing. I gather this is never open to the common folk ??????? |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
Its my understanding he is the owner of several car dealerships in the Indy area and loves 60s muscle cars and started this classic car sales/collection and sells about 75 to 100 muscle cars a year out of this collection. He also restores them as well. He is restoring a 67 Shelby GT 500 right now I am told. I watched him buy a bunch of cars at the fall Mecum event last year in St. Charles.

Makes Kevin Suydams collection look small! Sorry Kevin is a Collector !! With some serious Pedigree cars and not just cars filling spots. Looks like a DEALERS( collector)place https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Not mocking !! Its pretty cool with all the cars and signs !! But isnt everything for sale?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
I would give anything to walk through that collection. Talk about having a one or two of everything.
|
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
That really is one impressive collection.
Nice touch w/the mannequins and that Dog'n Suds sign sure brings back some memories.. Looks like he acquired Georges' FG Chevelle too. |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
When you look at his web site you will see alot if not all these cars are for sale. And yes he appears to own a lot of dealerships in the INdy area. Kudo's to him for the way he presents his collection. I thought I recognises some of his inventory as being "auction fresh".

Re: Ray Skillman Collection
I had a chance to visit Mr Skillmans toy box last July. Yea the cars are neat but the building is a real piece of art. The floor is very impressive and it is very clean in there. Dan did you notice the conferance room on the second floor and the two hotel type rooms up there. The body shop is as good as any dealerships with the most up to date tools and booth. I think there were 8 bays in the back with a drive on dyno in the floor. And then the transport vehicles in the back he must have had at least 4 trailers and tow vehicles and 2 or 3 multi vehicle transportes all new. I don't believe this collection is open to the public.

Re: Ray Skillman Collection
That is so awesome to see all those cars in one place. Dan thanks for sharing truly an experience just looking at the pictures.

Re: Ray Skillman Collection
"His website says the white Camaro is a 396/350 horse" Interesting.......as the tach sure appears to be the one year only L-78 6500 Redline/7000 Max. Please correct me if you SEE otherwise. |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
Either way, it's a beautiful car. I have no idea if it's real or not but the color combo is awesome.

Re: Ray Skillman Collection
very nice car lot (all for sale on website ?)
http://www.rayskillmanclassiccars.co...s/IMG_0714.jpg I like this one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...-I-Have-It.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif who knows these stripes? was the thin upper line that goes over the wheel wells part of this D96 stripe option? or were there two different stripe options in 67? |
Re: Ray Skillman Collection
