I wonder how long it took to amass that collection?

Ed Meyer knows the exact dates but over 30 years. The bulk was acquired in the first 10.

Cripes...I’m going to have to have one of those see-through engines! With two completely empty new shops, I’ll be bidding on a few things for sure! Thanks for all the hard work on this Bob!

Cheers
Dave

The first item I sold to him, (actually two Scat Pack press kits) was over 30 years ago.

While sorting the collectlion, I found both. Steven also showed me the original hand written envelope that I mailed it in when I visited with him shortly before his passing. He said, "hey, I have to show you something." He went over to one of the showcases, shuffled some stuff and pulled it out; "Remember this?" he said with a smile. His memory for acquiring items was absolutely incredible.

I will treasure that memory...

Its a shame for such a great collection to just get scattered about. Would be nice to see it all stay together.

That is one amazing memory!!!

This hobby is about so much more than cars!!

Keep an eye out for a Pistol Grip Shifter I can adapt to my Cutlass. I would love to have a little tribute Mopar part in my Olds.

Bob, others familiar with this collection. Is it safe to assume everything is original unless otherwise stated? I have interest in numerous items.

Thanks,
Dan
