Default Ray Skillman Collection

While at Indy last week....Jody and I were given a 3 hour, after hours personal tour by Jody`s good friend Donnie.

http://www.rayskillmanclassiccars.com/

Amazing....lots of you will recognize many of Ray`s Collection. All under one roof....85 thousand square feet. The most amazing part was the restoration shop. Sorry no pics of the Restoration Shop.

Ray and his collection are a sight to see. I called it the "Eight Wonder of the World" Better than the Grand Canyon....yet very Over Whelming. I could easily spend an entire week looking at this collection. The place was spotless...I mean Hospital Clean.













































































Oh Darren...

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?

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the great shots. What a collection ! If you would, pls confirm Stage III Max Wedge on the "Buy of the Week" and see if he'll take $2495.

Thanks!
