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 ???????

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.

I would give anything to walk through that collection. Talk about having a one or two of everything.

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.

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".
