Damn! Nice find!

Double Damn! What is that red car in front of the PPG Pace Truck? A Lancia Stratos?

I noticed you can now see some of the individual cars here:

I'm disappointed there aren't any 4th gen SLP Camaros.

Actually, they must not be done listing them, because I spy a 4th gen Camaro



Anybody interested in documenting and saving pictures of the various SLP550 and SLP575 Camaros or the Pontiac G8 Firehawks better get to saving pics... it's not often you get presented an opportunity to save pics of production number 001, 002, 003, 004, etc. of cars. If only I could go back in time and save pics of the 4th gens like this... :-\

I don't see now but when this was 1st posted they had a Pontiac supercharged G8 firehawk with the yellow Transformers theme. Somebody must have realized that's a one off vehicle and either sold it or isn't going to sell it.

WOW, I'm breathless looking at all those lo-mile Sys/Tys and TTAs Most of the rest of the cars are cool too. Wasn't that Boss Mustang in a Magazine shootout w/ a ZL1 Camaro a while back??

EDIT: OK, got 40MB of pics saved, about every Firehawk (Firebird & G8), ZL550/575 of each color, + the Transformers 001-005, SYs and TYs of each color, all the Marlboro SYs, the low-mile TTAs, the Daytona '93 TAs and the Bobby Labonte signature WS6.

Total assumption!

Just because they're up for auction doesn't necessarily mean that someone or somebody has hit hard times. If all those cars are from one solely person then it could be the collector may have chosen to re-invest its value somewhere else. It be pretty interesting to see what the final sum of the whole lot would go for.

I can think of at least 4 must have vehicles I'd own in that collection.

I'd take the '97 Hurst Lingenfelter Firebird and G8 Firehawk in Pacific Slate Metallic!

Speaking of which, they've added a few cars to the individual listings! If you click "all cars" it's chronological and the new ones are on page 2.
