His opinion, I felt, you can take to the bank. What a loss.

Vern was lots of help when I was selling a 409 Impala for a friend. He really helped educate me on the unique qualities of the 409 engine stamp. He will be missed.

Verne really knew about M/T wheel caps and spinners.He sold me these spinners and inserts for my '64 Camino.I'll think of him when I look at them.Thanks Verne.

So sorry to hear. I knew when this day came I would once again wish Verne could have composed a Late Great/348/409 reference book, since I can no longer bend his ear and access all the data. RIP.

RIP Mr Verne Frantz!!!

He was the Encyclopedia for 348-409 cars. I always enjoyed reading his posts pointing out whether a car was real or made up and I learned alot from him. He surely will be missed!!

I had spoken to Verne a few weeks ago, and I understood, his book was almost complete. I believe he was cowriting it, although I can't recall the name. It would be ashame to let his research go unpublished. He certainly wanted to share his research and knowledge for the good of the hobby.

All of us in this world will meet our maker, some sooner than later. I wish the good soul and a man of integrity of Verne was taken a lot later.
