Re: Mopar Memorabilia
My friend Rich Laaker had the sunroof car. It was built for Gordie Howe. Rich bought it from a guy in West Point, NE named Larry Maas. Rich sold it in the early 80s for about $85K. We couldn't believe he got so much for it LOL.
Probably a $2 million car now. An unreal collection!

Re: Mopar Memorabilia
This collection looks like what Floyd Garret dreams about.
Too bad it's not open to the public, but it doesn't appear that money is an issue. The security might be though. Truely unbelievable!

Re: Mopar Memorabilia
Unbelievable collection of cars and memorabilia
 The memorabilia alone is like the top 1% of cool stuff from every swap meet everywhere in the world dumped into one big purpose built display area. He's even got a remarkably nice Chevrolet and Ford memorabila collection going that appears to be just a side thing. Thanks for sharing the pics Charley, I wish I could have seen it in person. I gotta say, this sure does make the "how do you decorate your garage" thread seem kinda lame.

Re: Mopar Memorabilia
Anyone know what that SS396 barstool pillow lookin' deal is on the lower left? I've never seen one of those in a merchandising catalog.

Re: Mopar Memorabilia
They weren't offered in the Official Chevrolet Dealer Merchandising Catalogs.
They were available in the Dealer Aids program,and were manufactured from an Off brand company,that specialized in catering to the dealers,with selective items.Those pillows were possible in anything the Dealer wanted them to say. I wouldn't put ANY of those items in a garage. Charley can you arrange for a group of us to maybe see all this in person someday?

He also owned a 1970 Coronet 440-6 purple car. It had been stated incorrectly in a Mopar magazine that Bobby Hull had owned it, but he always drove Corvettes.
