Save your nickles!! The Ralph Whitworth Collection heads to auction!

The Whitworth Collection will go up for sale with no reserves. Looks like the museum is a no go. Take a look at the link to RM Auctions. There are a shit ton of bitchen cars for sale. It is definitely going to be an interesting day as the market is soft and there are so many cars being dropped at one time.
Admittedly out of my price range, but I venture to say that there could be some deals had for sure. I gotta get the hell off this computer and start looking through the couch cushions for some dough! I want Tognotti's Avenger! Gimme Ralph Jilek's custom! The Mazmanian Vette!! The Khougaz Roadster!! Jack Stewart's Custom!! Awwww crap I want 'em all!! Check it out-they are adding more daily. D.

Holy Crap!!! Roth Cars, Von Ductch amazing customs...I got $5 on some powerballs tickets who wants in!!

 

several very notable cars in the bunch

 

Pardon my french...but, FUCK!

I don't know if I'd rather have the Mazmanian Vette or the Sadd/Teague/Bentley Roadster or or or...damn!

 

The museum is a no go? Damn, I went there last August and it sure sounded like the plan was to build it then. I only got to see a few of the cars but what amazing historic stuff they had. I couldn't believe the Bonneville display which was being shown then in the "Flying A Garage". They had Tom Cobbs roadster...

 

The Avenger deuce, Mazmanians Vette and JJ's Nova would be at the my top of my list.

 

I may have spoken out of turn regarding the museum being a no go, but I am pretty sure there won't be much left to look at. Who's gonna pay to go into a warehouse to see tire tracks that lead out the door!

 

Hey Brian, you speak the same french I do-haha!!

 

i talked to several people that "Got It made" and its a no go... Sucks tho... all those cars are going to get spread around... maybe over seas....

I want to goto the auction a see how it goes..

I got to go to Dave's house that had a good handfull of those cars including the Advenger.. even got to sit in it and got to hear it running... I love that car soooooo much,,,, even ripped off the interior idea from it..

 

SO SAD!!!!

I hope the cars will find a good home.

 

DAMN!! I was REALLY looking forward to that museum. They should have their own spot together in the Smithsonian.

 

I'll take the Road Agent and the Deora. You guys can have the rest.

Doc.

 

I'm in!

 

The number 21 NASCAR with boss motor is a hell of a deal any where in the country. Very rare to say the least.

 

I wanna add the 1st hater comment about the fortunate folk that have the means to get some of em.



Shit, I can't think of anything right now.

 

They bought my '36. I can't afford to buy it back, but I'd like to keep track of it.

 

I can't choose, I better get my lottery tickets now...

 

un-believable, missed the date ,when is it ?

 

Looks like im going to have to add on the garage. I better start buying some Lotto tickets.

 

Damn! What an awesome collection. Time to start buying Powerball tickets....

 

Speaking of, does anybody know more about this little Rajo-powered lakes modified?



It gives me wood, but RM hasn't yet posted an item description of it.

thx,
dan

 

The La Jolla is mine! I'm running to the store right now for my lottery tickets bitches!

 

I whish my wife would let me get a home equality loan
Would be awesome to own so many cars of real custom or drag history

 

I guess it is a sign of the times that being caretaker for great cars is shorter than it was in the past. Not sure if having many in one place is better than placed around the counrty, either way they will all get good homes.

 

It's sad the stupid money that he spent to buy those cars. Many of them had been owned by the people he bought them from for a LONG time. I think it would have been a far better museum for the hot rod/custom crowd than the Petersen is. I'm sure many of the guys are like 50 Fraud and would like to buy back the cars they sold, but won't be able to afford them. I know a guy who sold one to Ralph. He'd had the car for YEARS. The only reason he sold it was because he was having serious health issues and needed the money. He got got good money for it, but was more glad that it was going to be preserved as the original survior it is. Now, who know what will happen to it.....

 

Damn !!!! It makes you wonder what's up when a dude pays over a million for a L-S-6 drag car how long it will last >>>>.

 

Damn, those were my two pics too. Not that I'd be able to buy either one. That '60 Starliner is neat too, but it says it's a recreation. I'm not familiar with the original.

It really makes me wonder what happened that the plan was dropped and they're getting sold?

 

I saw it up close last year on our way up to Bonneville. Very cool to say the least. There is some more information on it in this link...........
