hello all. if anyone is looking to come to manitoba in the next little while you might want to check this guy out, he has tons of stuff! it's mindboggling the stuff he has... http://www.gvautos.com/
HOLY BAGEZUZ....think he's interested in adopting a 48 year old kid???? I'll be good ...i promise !! Thanx for that link len..i thought i had all the canuck hook ups
That guy has been selling vintage cars for decades. I was at his place almost 20 years ago. Tons of cool cars. However, there wass talk that he gets alot of his stuff "after midnight", if you get the meaning.
I have been to Geordie's original location outside of Neepawa a few times and felt most of stuff was over priced and typically in worse shape when viewed live. No offense to GV but he is asking a premium for distinctly average stuff. Now onto a real gold mine! Near Altamount Manitoba is a spot in valley west of Carmen known as Vavavoom garage. I went there over the summer and was shocked! There were ~450 cars and trucks none newer than the 60s. I 'tripped' over multiple A sedans, +3 T coupes, T touring etc. I am hoping to return this fall and take some pics. The prices are typical but fair. Perhaps the biggest treasure are the parts. I needed some garnish moldings for my A and found a rack of 100s of moldings available (he is aware of the value of '32-'34 trim!) .... I was able to pick through a number of A sets until I found the ones I wanted. I also wanted a nice Caddy air cleaner ... check the stack! Anyway enough yacking. Later, papa al PS ph/fax to Vavavoom 1-204-248-2221 (ask for Uncle Bill Harrison)
Looks I'm gonna need to make a trip out east. I got family in Manitoba so it looks like this is actually possible to do.
the other guy mentioned (uncle bill harrison, vavavoom) has a single daughter. i do believe she's 20. good looking too i saw a picture of her
