Default Re: GM heritage collection selloff

Pinky Randall,a very good friend a noted Chevrolet collector,has been collecting Chevrolet,cars,parts,and memorabilia for decades.
As he aged,he was approached by many to part out his collection,so he made a list and noted what we all wanted.
He then called us up and stated what he wanted for the items we wanted.Some passed,others couldn't find their checkbooks fast enough.
I was one who was getting ready to take a trip over and come back with as much as I could carry...and then GM stepped in and changed everything.CRAP!
They personaly had a liason visit Pinky and make a list of all he had.They submited an offer in cash and Pinky accepted it,and good for him.
Said it was more money then he would've ever made from selling everything individually & slowly.I was a lil upset when he told me this,as it was very sudden and I was getting packed up to go visit him when he called.

With this news now,I hope maybe GM will keep going and sell off Pinkys collection as well.I'll be watchin for what I wanted,that's for sure..
