I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps Mr. Leno will swoop in and buy up the whole collection!

Let me say that it is a whole lot easier to keep up 1 or 2 cars then a couple hundred! If you catch my drift.........

Also, I understand this is not the first collection that Mr. McDorman has sold off. Someone mentioned it is his third go around.

It was also said, that he is the only remaining Chevrolet dealer with 50 years running in the country!

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for taking the time to post all those pictures.
Seeing all the cars we care about in one place must be quite an experience!
I really wish I could have come to Ohio.
Regards,
Alan

Kevin, which auction car are you going to buy??? Bob had I think two '72 Red LT-1 A/C cars there. Would make a nice pair for you, plus would give you three out of 240 LT-1 with A/C cars!!!

...I've already got the day off work scheduled and I've got four spaces on hold from InterCity Carriers for a trip to Massillon from Columbus on the four I've got eyeballed.

...which four?..................Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Very Funny!!!

Actually I'm walking out the door now to check on a 71BB A/C car I got a lead on in Ohio, that's right around the corner from me! Just what I need, another project

Nice to see you! Glad you made the trip.
