Been there twice over the past 10 years, wow what a collection !! was well worth seeing shame it's going away,another casualty of 2020 !!! :(

If you want to take a look at the inventory, use the link attached, Read down the article until you see the word "auction" highlighted in blue, touch that and be amazed. What a collection of great Chevys, particularly HP/rare Camaros. Wish I could have seen this before it hit the auction -

There's 13 first gens. Most don't list VIN's or show trim tags. Shiny cars, but do your due diligence. May be hard to get near the cars to inspect.
124379N644383 - COPO that used to have no drivetrain.
124379N672561 - reputed COPO with complete set of repro docs.
68 RS/SS L34 - 749 interior not available in a convertible.
69 RS/SS L78 10-B - 729 interior not available in a convertible. Al head, but not mentioned.
124378L339792 - car was V-V, now A-A.
I'm curious about the 69 black L78 ragtop...... though doubtful....
-
Since I don,t like cold weather, might be a could place for some shorts and T shirts. Just afraid I might come home with something.

Every time I go down to Florida to visit family I head over to check out the latest additions to his collection and it's a GM lovers dream! I'm sad to hear the news!

Makes me wonder about the validity of the '67 Z. Several incorrect pieces on the car, not like I could afford it anyway, but it would be my target.
You have to admit, it's a bunch of good looking Chevrolades. I wouldn't kick them out of my garage - even if I had a 6000 square foot ex-Walmart building handy. I applaud the guy for his taste and eyes - and money.

Not sure I buy the unrestored condition on the 67 Z. Maybe not a total restoration, but definitely has had work done under the hood. Hard to say without seeing the car in person, but the paint looks great if it's original.

That’s what I was thinking!

Some of the cars appear to be (made) cars. Correct me if I am wrong but I don,t think they made 67 SS El Caminos, even though I would like to have one.

Kelley, you are correct. 1968 was the first year and they were dropped during the 1975 production year.

I was looking through the cars yesterday and noticed that several have that rare (caution fan ) decal under the hood. Surprising in a collection of this type.

hey Eric, sorry I didn’t see this post until now! I walked around the museum for a couple of hours, and I did not see this car! Maybe I missed it but didn’t see it, sorry.

Crazy day!

Surprisingly, the '67 Z I was keeping an eye on, A24, went for only $110K. Lot A22, a '68 RS Z, went for $121K.
I streamed some of the auction live during the gas and automobilia, unreal prices. I'd like to see the auction total take when this one is over - unbelievable sales doallrs.
Man, I wish I had held onto my documented LS5 until now. I could have afforded several more '68 Z's at this inflated rate.

I could not believe the prices on some of these cars plus factoring in the buyers premium. Safe to say Mr. Treworgy hit the jackpot. Good for him... only in America!
-
A lot of people paid too much money.

I always though the Mecum auctions were more down-to-earth on pricing, until this one. You could have changed the name to Barrett Jackson and the prices would have been pretty close. Mr. Treworgy really DID hit the jackpot - I hope Mecum posts the end result.

Bad part about the sales from that auction most first gen sellers will think a car requiring restoration is gold.
-
Sales prices of most cars is a head scratcher. Maybe holdover excitement from Kissimmee or that these cars have been off the market for some time and that makes them somehow more desirable. None the less, great collection and sale results; so good for him.
