The Suydam Collection

[69hurstSC]

I've been a fan of Kevin's collection for quite a while. IMO, its the finest collection of Muscle Cars ever assembled. With that being said, if you could add a car to his collection what would it be?

Either the Pete Estes Z Convertible or a 70 Hemi Coronet vert would be nice additions.

[442w30]

He needs more Ponchos.

[jannes_z-28]

He have this one

... He needs an original 1965 or 1966 427 Biscayne or Belair

I believe that he needs a 427 Cobra and a 289 Cobra.

[69hurstSC]

This 1 of 6 1969 Hemi Road Runner convertible would make for a nice addition.

I see my old '69 cortez silver Berger COPO is still in his collection. That was a great car. A silver L88 Corvette would look good next to it!

[wundercluck]

I gotta agree with Wes on the Estes Z convertible.

[69hurstSC]

How about pairing this 1 0f 6 1970 429 SCJ Ranchero with his LS6 El Camino?

[mockingbird812]

Shaker hood and that clean grill with hidden headlights looks niiiiiiiiice!

[Xplantdad]

Didn't Dave Christenholz have one??

[mockingbird812]

Yes, he did Bruce. He sold it at the spring Mecum a couple of years ago when he liquidated his terrific collection.

[Xplantdad]

I thought so Sam! Hey dude...it's Lightning and sleeting here at the house! I am blaming M22 Mike for the weather <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[m22mike]

WT%, you mean I missed some crap weather out there, that's a switch. Nice here today, Sunny and 60, won't last.
See you guy's soon... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif..well not you Sam, did you leave some keys for Shaun and me.. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif...C'mon Sam don't be scared.

[mockingbird812]

Yeah Mikey, I left you some keys for the the little shed out back, you know the one with the &quot;moon&quot; slit cut into the front door!

[Xplantdad]

Sounds great Mike!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Does Kevin have a Z16 Chevelle?

[427.060]

Not according to his site.

[Turbo Regal]

He has no Trans-Ams or winged Mopars.

[69hurstSC]

Looks like theirs a new member to his stable.
Suydam Collection new additon (http://corvettes-musclecars.com/gallery2/v/69+PhaseIII/67+L78+Chevelle/)

[SS427]

Cool. Glad to see him adding something new. Got to get there one of these days. I was within miles of his home twice last year but did not have the time.

[StriperSS]

That is gorgeous! The only way it could be better would be with a red interior

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Is there a secret password to get inside?

Seriously, is it a private collection or can someone like me take a tour like Floyd Garretts?

[69Tom]

Incredible collection. He really needs to hire a professional photographer and do his collection justice, however. I have taken better pics on a 10 year old regular cell phone than some of those. Those cars <span style="font-style: italic">deserve</span> better. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[Denis]

I just fixed a problem with Suydam's website that was blocking him from adding new cars. Stay tuned as I believe there's 8-10 more to come.

I have to take the blame for the poor quality of the photos as many were prepared back when Charley was still on a dial up connection.

Newer photos will be high resolution.

No blame. Just would be nice to see some of those gems in high def is all. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Holy **** Denis lives !!!!!!

[Xplantdad]

Denis is spending time skiing! And cooking... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[69hurstSC]

Can't wait to hear what the 8-10 new cars are! Can you leak any info on them?

[black69]

haven't been to his site for a while, always nice to see there are pics of my red 65 L78 sitting behind his 69 ZL-1, 69 Baldwin motion, and 69 ZR1 vettes!
Kevin is a great guy and has helped me a lot over the yrs with advice since I purchased a car from him, and I like the fact he has a balanced passion for GM, AMC, fords, and especially mopars! And he has helped me with tires and other parts.

It is a private collection within his home but I don't think I have ever heard of Kevin telling someone no if they were visiting the area. Just wish I had time when I was there. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

[SIR-VIVOR]

I've been to Kevins home. Amazing collection!

[CamarosRus]

This site needs to plan:

1) A trip to Seattle (sites in General)
(In From Mid July to Mid Sept when NOT raining)

2) A tour of Kevins collection at his significant residence

3) Depart/Return Seattle on Alaska Cruise ship
While at Sea put on your own seminar/presentation
on ??? muscle car related material.

I've been to Kevin's home/collection twice. Does Dennis know the approximate # of cars
in that lower floor showroom as it was quite crowded? Does Kevin now have an off site
alternative warehouse for the overflow?

[67rs/ss]

Any updates coming soon? What other cars are to be expected? I really like the 67 dark blue Yenko.

[69hurstSC]

Yes, were thirsting for more Suydam additions!

[MYSTERYCHEVELLE]

I seem to recall my FOSTER CAR Program helped Kevin obtain that Gorgeous Little Lady~ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

Black 67 SS with RED Interior.... Hmmmmmmm Now I wonder?? Is it possible? Let me go in the back and see what I have on the shelf....

.......


Well lookie there... Ask and you Shall Receive~ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

It's Kevin's collection and he can do whatever he wants with it. But it's a bit sad knowing that one of the few pairings of a 71 Hemi Cuda vert and 70 Hemi Cuda vert is now no longer.

True, but Indeed, there is another collection that includes a '70 and a '71 Hemi 'Cuda convertible, both previously shown at MCACN, and yet another with two '71 Hemi 'Cuda converts that sit beside literally a row of 440+6 'Cuda's and several notable 440+6 Challenger converts, also MCACN alumnus! worship

New editions to the Suydam Collection. Someone had mentioned he was sans a Z16? Well, not anymore.

Looks like some Goats added as well.

[SS427]

Nice. Glad to see the site get updated with some new iron. As soon as I am done with one of his cars he will need to update those photos as well. Love the Z16, maybe someone can talk him into bringing it to the Z16 Showcase.

[iluv69s]

is that a documented L89 Pacer??

[cook_dw]

That Phase III 68 is <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif

[69hurstSC]

I don't think Kevin owns tributes or clones. My money would be on &quot;Yes&quot;.

[66 L78 ragtop]

I'm surprised that he is planning on restoring the survivor 69 Ram Air IV 4 speed convertible. Its probably the only remaining survivor.

It doesn't look bad at all from the photos.

[442w30]

From what I remember about the GTO on eBay, it needed work.

[Xplantdad]

Looks like DS's 66 396/375...and JB's black 396/375...maybe RST's Black Cougar Eliminator?

[Tracker1]

He is giving the '71 440-6 Cuda I sold him a much-deserved resto...great guy.

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Looks like he went shopping at MCACN:-)

Kevin is a true gentleman and are dealings with him have been nothing but first class!

[Xplantdad]

I've only met Kevin once...and he's a really nice guy!

[Mr Yenko]

Sold Kevin some 70-72 Nova NOS sheet metal about 12 yrs ago. First class guy for sure. Would love to see his collection some day.
