The for sale thread was closed upon confirmation of his death and it was not sold at that time. His tear drop trailer did sell not long after he listed it for sale.

Here is a link to the closed for sale thread for the car.

Thanks for posting that.





Afterthought:

I never got to meet Roy or to know him personally, and have met very few of the folks here, but I find Hemingway's quote particularly applicable:

"Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."

We're all lessened for the loss of a guy the likes of Roy.

God speed Roy.

We should all be so lucky to enjoy life including our shared hobby, and see the things Roy did in his long life. I doubt if there's anyone else who knew 55's as well as he did. And yes, leaving this world in the beautiful surrounding of Hawaii with your loved ones close is the way to go. Well done Roy, you WILL be missed.
