Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
Probably old news here but I didn't see anything on it (sorry I mostly lurk) but this would have been a neat find!
http://www.depereautocenter.com/ Evidently a Donald Schlag hoarded cars and GM hi-po parts including one, possibly two Yenkos, two LS6 Chevelles, and a ton of BBCs! (heck, I would have been happy with the 1967 RS/SS!) The link is pics of some of his new finds...Tutenkamen's tomb was NOTHING! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif |

Some amazing stuff there.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
First person that hit my mind is Heartbeat Jimmy.....I can just imagine how certain people must be going absolutely crazy, trying to get a piece of this action. I would invest money into buying some of this, but will never have the connections to do so.
I hope we can hear much more on this story, as the details unfold........ |
Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
Unreal, id love to hear the story on this, did the guy pass away and left this stuff???? What do you think a collection like this is worth?? 2 or 3Million, more??

Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
My mouth hit the floor after seeing the cars... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
But the parts and engines he has must be worth double what the cars are worth... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif |
Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
That is just plain sick! Even the guy taking the pictures is so excited he can't hold the camera steady. What a gold mine that may take years to inventory. It would be interesting to get a list of engine VINs to see how many cars might be reunited with their engines.

Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
Those photos are absolutely hypnotic and I bet that was a nice little surprise when the Chevelle trunks were opened. This was one heck of a 401K plan for someone's retirement.

Anyone else notice the yellow engine block on the floor? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif
Pretty awesome discovery. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif |
Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
I saw it and many other things caught my eye..I almost passed out after clicking through some of the pics...a guy could make a fortune not selling any of it and just selling a tour through the stuff as is...Wowser!!!

Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
I heard about this stuff 2months ago. The guy passed away and his sister sold everything to one guy. I was told the first trailer they opened,had a yenko camaro and 2 ls6 chevelles.The guy welded the doors shut because some trailer had been broke into at one time and that is why it took them a wwhile to get inside. I had a hard time believing that this was real,but now i see the pictures and know it is true!
