The link was working last week. Don't know what happened to it. Maybe too many
hits and it's down for awhile. This link works. I just tried it.

I was not the original poster of that message. I think your best bet
would be to repost the question to the entire mailing list. rick

Anybody need some parts? Remember the guy who bought 21 trailers full of GM
parts? He's now selling.

Major stash of muscle-era Chevrolet artifacts to cross the block

On May 9-10, Bud Ward's Auction Company will be auctioning off a huge
collection of Chevrolet muscle-era high-performance parts as well as five cars,
including two 1970 LS-6 Chevelles and a 1972 Z/28.
The parts stash, which had been stored along with 10 desirable Chevrolet
cars in 21 sealed box-van trailers, reportedly includes multiple complete
Chevrolet high-performance big-block engines, heads, transmissions,
fuel-injection systems, intake and exhaust manifolds, wheels and more. The
inventory is made up of a mix of used as well as NOS Chevrolet and Corvette
parts.
The collection was unearthed in De Pere, Wisconsin, when the 21 tractor
trailers were purchased from the widow of Donald Schlag, the man who collected
all of the coveted Chevrolet artifacts over the course of his lifetime and
stashed them away with apparently no intention of using or selling them. Schlag
is said to have "had a deep love of all things high-performance and Chevrolet
which led him to collect parts while working for his father at a John Deere
Dealership."
Scott Milestone, the current owner, moved all parts and five cars from
Wisconsin to Rockville, Maryland, and has since decided to offer this find to
the public. The preview of rare parts will take place on May 7-8 in Rockville,
and the auction will take place at High Point Farm in Clarksburg, Maryland.
For more information about this auction, to register to bid, to receive a
color catalog, or to consign a car, please call Bud Ward at 888-860-9664, or
Michelle Blum at 877-252-2251.
