Rich Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'd be there with my checkbook. What an amazing collection, and all being sold NO RESERVE! Got this info from the Corvette Museum. Bob McDorman to Auction Collection Next Weekend Next weekend, long-time Museum supporter Bob McDorman's massive collection of 150 cars will go up for sale through Mecum Auctions. This once-in-a-lifetime auction will feature Chevrolets produced as early as 1915 and will include the world's most complete Corvette collection, as well as neon signs, memorabilia and vintage parts all gathered over the years by Bob. Among the cars to be sold are 11 serial #1 Corvettes, Bunkie Knudsen's 1963 Sting Ray, plus many celebrity cars. The Mecum McDorman Auction takes place at Bob McDorman Chevrolet, 5885 Gender Road, Canal Winchester, OH 43110. Auction previews run Friday, November 5 from 8am-5pm. The memorabilia sale begins Saturday, November 6 at 10am with vehicles selling at noon. See the collection online at www.mecum.com. Check out the rides he has for sale! Unbelievable!

Chewy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Nice! Ever watch "Chasing Classic Cars"? They did a show of one of these types of auctions and it was AMAZING to see the cars. What people don't realize is most of the cars haven't been driven in years and need extensive work to get them road worthy. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Every one of McDorman's cars is road ready. He treated those cars better than his family!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordgrey Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Ok, by the end of the first page of 12 I already had two. The '32 and '34 Roadsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I really like the 69 Camaro Z11 & Z10 and the 70 Serial #1 Camaro. What? No 69 Corvette Convertible with the 454 Motor? Thats the car we would someday like to own. Those older pedal cars should bring in alot of cash. And the Dealer signs are Very neat. I'd also take one of the Corvette gokarts. I am with you on this on Rich. I wish I had alot of play money to just go blow on tons of expensive fun stuff and not even look back. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVette83 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I got this in an email from the NCM as well. But I haven't heard. What's the purpose of the asset liquidation? Is he just tired of his collection? Seems if he were cash strapped he could sell 1/3 of the cars in the collection and come out just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 wow, i'm surprised there is no 2009 or newer ZR-1... i guess he's keeping that one for himself! (i would too!) that 50th anniversary conversion is pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR6speed Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I sure wish it was on TV like some of the other Mecum auctions are. He has some great looking cars. I also was wondering why is he selling off the collection and at no reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
