Absolutely unbelievable. Are these all from the same rich dude? Is it ProTeam? No wonder collector cars are hard to come by...evidently enough are being hoarded and hidden away in private collections. I'm always glad to see these stashes dispersed to the buying public for more to enjoy. Just my 2 cents.

WOW! What a collection. If my lotto ticket hits between now and then I will be bidding on the '67 427/436 coupe, the '63 FI SW coupe, and the '61 Black and Red beauty. Great to see they are all being offered at no reserve!

I got the e-mail from Mecum today on the black collection. Awesome group of cars. I love the FI 65 Roadster. Think about it...1965 Chevy had a car that had fuel injection, fully independent suspension and 4 wheel disc brakes! That was advanced! I would take any one of those cars!

Incredible collection!

The '65 F.I. Coupe does it for me. Stunning car with the white interior.

Kinda odd that the '68 has '69 gill inserts, '69 side Stingray script and no front emblem; seemed like the collection would be so stock correct.
