Hello this is going to be hard. I'm tired` and i don't feel well. I have well over a million dollars worth of cars and parts. I've been trying to get motivation, energy and help to sell off my cars one by one , engines , parts etc. I'm getting it done but slowly. It's not a fire sale. If you know of a person that has money and the time to do his own inventory - with supervision. I'm looking for an offer of about 75 cents on the dollar. If I die I'm not sure my wife would get that. So that's one of my motivators.
Here's the hard part. I'm not up to complete lists, pictures and lookers. I'm not going to piecemeal, if I were Then I'll just keep selling one at a time for what they are worth. It's mostly all Corvette but there are some other pieces. Good ones I feel and I MIGHT be willing to separate them out. Depends how the person is to deal with.
If you're a big dealer and you want to come here with 30 illegal aliens for cheap help to load everything- Stay away don't waste your time and mine.
If your a big dealer and want to do business like a regular guy, come over. I've said that I want about 75 cents on the dollar. That part isn't up for discussion. I say That in all fairness because the net to a good dealer/seller is much higher than that. Example I've seen most big dealers are asking like $69,000 for a car like my 61 Jewel blue /Blue 2x4 older frame off. Where i want $49,000 so they can sell for much higher then I can so there's plenty of room left for hauling and such.
Well that being said I guess either I'll get some calls or none. Hopefully not a million crazy ones.
To come here and look please call Woodie 9am to 12- I take a nap 12 to 1 so No calls please Then 1pm to 7 pm eastern standard time .
I realize I'm not a real nice guy. Ya know I don't know when it happened because I didn't start out when I graduated from high school with the thought Hmmmmmmmmmmm Maybe what I'll do is turn into a hard to please boss and and even harder to get along to get along with person. But it happened! I can be nice until some one rubs me wrong and then I'm the absolute worst jerk. After wards I'll wake in the middle of the night and say to myself My god why do you say and act that way. I'll promise myself I'll be better and then it'll happen again. Now I blame it on my health and disability. But... So anyway If you're anything like me save your time because if you get upset easily and I do.... I won't sell. I'll let my sons worry about it all after I'm gone. I guess I should put up a partial list at least of the cars.
Corvettes as best i recall
60 black/turquiose 4 spd. new paint/new motor/new top/ new int. /new dash pad a bit custom not quite done
61 Jewel blue/blue /silver cove new white top, new int. 245hp 2x4's correct but not orig. 4 spd correct wheels/caps ets. This car was Never rusted or abused sat in a garage at an estate on Long Island.
61 Orig motor Calif car CLEAN 230 auto I talked to the orig owner several years ago she got the car from her dad for HS grad. White/red she wanted a red car and got it painted red for her 20 th birthday present. she drove it through college and got married sold it when she got preg. A guy bought it put black inserts in the seats and painted it black. not driven too many miles . A man from Scarsdale <ny bought the car at Pamona car show and brought it to ny. He new nothing about cars- example he paid $280 in 1990 to have the car cleaned and tires rotated, I bought the car. my wife drove this and i my 56 show car and we each took a son for shows and such. I got best of show and she got beans. So she wanted it painted. So she picked 96 Grandsport blue. What i said it's got a red int. well we stripped the car and the body was perfect Never bumped anywhere. So it bright blue with a new red interio and white cove. the next year she got best of show people love it.

This is never going to work two cars and I'm tired already. call 607 760 7654 if you're still interested and we can talk
I dont blame you for being tired ...thats alot of typing!! I would be interested in a nice 63-67 if you change your mind. How far are you from Staten Island ?
Here is a thought for you.
We never really "own" collectable items. All we do is care for and protect them until we pass at which point someone else resumes responsibility.
Best of luck finding the next keeper. I wish I had the money to be him. You have an incredible collection. I wish I was close enough to come drool over it.
do not view your magnificent collection as a burden.
make it a point to enjoy each and every single day.
you have amassed a wealth of knowledge in your lifetime, share a bit in your sunset moments.
you remind me of my dad so much. (rip)
warmest thoughts to you and your family,
chuck
Is there a way to add / modify a posting?
I thought I clearly explained that I wanted to sell the entire lot and was willing for that kind of a project to take 75 cents on the dollar. I really appreciate all the calls i have received but if I don't sell the entire lot at a reduced costs to cover a purchasers coming looking, pricing, and upon purchase allowing him monies for loading and shipping all. I AM NOT SELLING A CAR HERE AND THERE OR A FUEL INJECTION UNIT FOR 75 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. Please understand. I am going to give this ad two weeks for interest then I'll start selling everything for a realistic fair price piece by piece. Thank you for looking and all the good thoughts and wishes.
HAVING CHATTED WITH you several times on here,I must express m concern for your health. Sounds like it worse than you are stating.Still wished I lived in Binghamton for the short drive up.Best of luck.
