400 HO Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 http://www.depereautocenter.com/parts.html Story is an old guy named Donald Schlag passed away. He started collecting things when he worked at his dad's John Deere dealership. He bought all kinds of stuff from Chevy dealerships, and made trips to California annually to get even more rare parts and cars. When his dad died, Don Schlag started putting all this stuff he had accumulated in tractor trailers, and sealed them when they got full. Even he didn't go inside them once they were full ... he just started loading a new trailer. Lots of the stuff was bought at swap meets, thinking it would be valuable someday. The eventual buyer, Larry Fesette was 'selected' by the family to take the collection as is, site unseen. Several tried to buy it, since legend had it that there was Yenko cars and hundreds of high dollar rare big block combinations. This gentleman, Fisette bought it of course hoping it wasn't junk ... Turns out legend was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaTS1200 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Wow. Nice collection! That guy will be pestered until he sells every last one of those engines. Every guy that has a non-numbers matching classic will be hounding him to find out if he has their engine. Lucky bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
