Ray Skillman Collection

[Postsedan]

While at Indy last week....Jody and I were given a 3 hour, after hours personal tour by Jody`s good friend Donnie.

http://www.rayskillmanclassiccars.com/

Amazing....lots of you will recognize many of Ray`s Collection. All under one roof....85 thousand square feet. The most amazing part was the restoration shop. Sorry no pics of the Restoration Shop.

Ray and his collection are a sight to see. I called it the "Eight Wonder of the World" Better than the Grand Canyon....yet very Over Whelming. I could easily spend an entire week looking at this collection. The place was spotless...I mean Hospital Clean.

Just when I think I am doing ok and I could afford a L-78 Nova. I see pictures like these of one person's collection and I realize there are some real serious people collecting these cars with more ability and backing than I could ever dream of. A person could have a career in just keeping the place this clean. Dan, does the under hood picture with the aluminum heads belong to the blue Nova? Can you tell us more about what you saw please?

[quick-bowtie]

Truly amazing. I bet he cant help but smile when he opens the doors to that collection ever day that is definately what you call a rich mans prozac!

Ray Skillman was an advertiser on the Mecum auctions shown on the HD Channel.
Here is his web site -

[CamarosRus]

Dan, I was of course interested in seeing the WHITE L-78 70 Camaro(saw the 6500/700 tach). Do you happen to know what RPO the Hugger Orange L-78 was ?????

I am forwarding this thread onto Mike S who is trying to gather info for the 70 Camaro L-78 registry

Interested to know the bio on Ray Skillman

Makes Kevin Suydams collection look small!

Thanks so much for sharing. I gather this is never open to the common folk ???????

[Les Quam]

Its my understanding he is the owner of several car dealerships in the Indy area and loves 60s muscle cars and started this classic car sales/collection and sells about 75 to 100 muscle cars a year out of this collection. He also restores them as well. He is restoring a 67 Shelby GT 500 right now I am told. I watched him buy a bunch of cars at the fall Mecum event last year in St. Charles.

Sorry Kevin is a Collector !! With some serious Pedigree cars and not just cars filling spots. Looks like a DEALERS( collector)place http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Not mocking !! Its pretty cool with all the cars and signs !! But isnt everything for sale?? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Shankin]

I would give anything to walk through that collection. Talk about having a one or two of everything.

[Mr70]

That really is one impressive collection.
Nice touch w/the mannequins and that Dog'n Suds sign sure brings back some memories..
Looks like he acquired Georges' FG Chevelle too.

[Canuck]

When you look at his web site you will see alot if not all these cars are for sale. And yes he appears to own a lot of dealerships in the INdy area. Kudo's to him for the way he presents his collection. I thought I recognises some of his inventory as being "auction fresh".
Paul

[67 442]

I had a chance to visit Mr Skillmans toy box last July. Yea the cars are neat but the building is a real piece of art. The floor is very impressive and it is very clean in there. Dan did you notice the conferance room on the second floor and the two hotel type rooms up there. The body shop is as good as any dealerships with the most up to date tools and booth. I think there were 8 bays in the back with a drive on dyno in the floor. And then the transport vehicles in the back he must have had at least 4 trailers and tow vehicles and 2 or 3 multi vehicle transportes all new. I don't believe this collection is open to the public.

[sean70ss]

That is so awesome to see all those cars in one place. Dan thanks for sharing truly an experience just looking at the pictures.

His website says the white Camaro is a 396/350 horse.

[CamarosRus]

"His website says the white Camaro is a 396/350 horse"

Interesting.......as the tach sure appears to be the one year only L-78 6500 Redline/7000 Max. Please correct me if you SEE otherwise.

[njsteve]

Either way, it's a beautiful car. I have no idea if it's real or not but the color combo is awesome.

[x Baldwin Motion]

very nice car lot (all for sale on website ?)

http://www.rayskillmanclassiccars.com/images/cars/IMG_0714.jpg

I like this one. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif who knows these stripes? was the thin upper line that goes over the wheel wells part of this D96 stripe option? or were there two different stripe options in 67?

[67rscoupe]

amazing

[mssl72]

Pretty impressive collection. I saw the picture of the '66 Bel Air and had to check it out. The website says it was a frame off. I'm sure it was, but I wonder about some of the detail work including why an L72 car has a 6k tach in it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

Chuck,
While it's not conclusive to me it sure looks like the 6500 redline format tach in that car.

[Hotrodpaul]

I wonder what the 1970 white Camaro SS trim tag looks like, do you think there could be an L78 stamped there? The cars are nice but the descriptions are somewhat vague. I would like to know more in detail about each car.

Paul

[DarrenX33]

The white Camaro SS also has CKO on the head and low-rise 569 intake. Pretty neat color combo...

[DarrenX33]

And BTW.. Damn I want a GTO. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif This green one fits the description to. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I bet when you have that many nice cars in your collection they probably don't even mean that much to you anymore. Just another car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Sam,

I would strongly disagree...and I know that if you were to meet Ray....you would agree that he is indeed very passionate aboout his building, his cars and even more importantly the people that work for him. Ray is in his sixties....and he can do circles around most of us.

I met Ray at a swap meet last year in Louisville. I had a 68 camaro rag top there for sale and he walked up like any other car guy and talked shop for about an hour. I didn't know who he was untill he left and handed me his business card and invited me to his collection. He was as interested in talking to me about my lil ole 25K vert and my restoration story as someone who didn't own such an amazing group of cars. When I visited he spent a significant amount of time with me and I'm sure he had more important things to do. Great Guy!

[Johnny Horsepower]

Our show has moved locations and dates. Now at the dupage expo center, 2 days....indoor and out. Aside from nats, this may be the biggest and the best all Pontiac show!

Nice looking Camaro.


A very top shelf operation. Also big participants and supporters of local and national drag racing scene.


Couple of side notes, he bought at an auction an old carnival carousel that was bought and planned for the infield at the Indy 500 back eons ago. Now it is fully restored and in the center of this collection.


Last year we bought a new GMC Yukon XL from his GMC Dealership. As we worked with the salesman on the deal, my wife threw out there that she had an old MG she might trade in. Most dealerships wouldn't have cared about a car like that, but the guy called Ray who came over, drove it and wanted it, so that helped on the XL deal. :)

Yes its a very nice car highly optioned great restoration but no documentation. The car was purchased as is by Ray years ago for the museum. The lack of documentation is a bummer for me ill need to ponder on this one, plus I just bought a V code Cuda and hate to dig more into the mad money....

Finding some history on the Camaro would definitely help on the decision.

Correctly restored?

I would consider it overly restored, but nice work.

Cool car but they put all those pictures up and not a single close up of the engine pad or trim tag? That's a flag that begs for a closer look.

Car was original paint, restored by RamAir Dave back in 2000.
Endura was added.
