One Man’s Big Block Chevy Collection pt. 1

This was a once in a lifetime experience. I wish I could’ve met Roy so I could hear the stories behind his passion. I want to thank Roy’s family and the Vanderbrink auction team for putting this on so smoothly. Wait until you see parts two and three!

[@christophersanders5007]

Back in 1977 I bought a 1970 SS Chevelle 396 (402) for only $800. Back in those days there where a lot of 1968 to 1970 SS Chevelle 396's, and 1968 to 1970 Plymouth Road Runners with 383 engines because both the Chevelle SS and Road Runners with 396 and 383 where the poor mans big block muscle car.

[@keithphillips6111]

Man I think that's what heaven looks like!!!!!!😮

[@DevinMichaels-bx2qk]

That's heaven for sure. Those Chevelle's are hot. The rare 210 57 Chevy was awesome 😎.

[@robertnowak9650]

I wanted to say that word for word!! But ya got me first!! 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💖❤️

[@thomasmadden2258]

Thank you putting on you tube website !!! When was this

[@vicswanby454]

That gentleman had a relative that worked for a paint shop and would send these off and have them painted that's why so many of them are sporting fresh paint jobs. The man was a wizard when it came to these cars. So many people have been talking about this auction it was the biggest single collection auctioned off in Idaho to date. Great video.

[@toryneald234]

Wow....all i can say is Wow....wish i could have a chance at any of the cars that went to the highest bidder.

RETIRED AND HAVING FUN RESTORING MY LIFE LONG TREASURES. 64 WILDCAT SKYLARK, 69 FIREBIRD 400 4 SP, 65 CHEVY P/UP FIRST YEAR OF OVERDRIVE, 95 CADI ELDO, WATCHING YOU DRIVE AND LOOKS LIKE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. GOOD VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING KID.

[@dannypalazzo1969]

17:36 That car was in a couple magazines in the 80s and a good friend of mine who passed away 2yrs ago owned it for a while after its magazine days. It resided at Reelfoot lake, Tiptonville, TN at that time. Brings back great memories of a very dear and missed friend. I got my 1st '70 SS 396 4spd Chevelle from him. RIP Leyon. The car is still out there!

[@Ada-zn3pw]

Damn that is absolutely amazing. So many nice Chevelles and corvettes. It's hard to believe that stuff still exists. I'm not a convertible fan but I think that black 70 ls6 would be cool if that paint could be preserved. That patina with the faded yellow stripes look good.

[@jbutjo]

Love your stuff Dezzy. I'm working on my 73 454 4sp Corvette. Just got done rebuilding my brothers 70 340 for his 70 Challenger. Keep up the great work.

What a dream collection, car builders heaven

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

Had an old neighbor, Old-man Bob was his name... He had a ton of BBC/4-speed Chevelles from 65-70... His back yard was full of old Chevys...trucks, vans & chevelles... over 30 of them on a 1/4 acre lot...!!! It all was sold online after he died...I was addicted to heroin for 22+ years, so I was unable to get any of them...! I'm 70+ months sober now and I'm loving sober life...! I really miss my camaros though, a 79 Z28 with non factory 468cid/th400 straight line car that did low tens... and a 72 SS Camaro with non-numbers matching 350cid/M21 4-speed (orig from factory trans & rearend)... Both were sold for dope basically...!!! I was an idiot, but to all those addicts out there...sobriety isn't as scary as you think...! Sobriety is possible...! I'm the owner of three LLC's currently...! Put the dope down and go get better...! Thanks for showing all these very cool Chevys...! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...

Currently working on 67 Plymouth GTX. Bought it sight unseen but inspected and numerous conversations on ebay. (Before sales guarantee) Got 😂Some pictures. Inspection came back clean so bought and shipped it from Minnesota to S.Carolina. Got screwed big time. Been restoring for 8 years. Got it, everything ripped out of engine bay, left enough for engine to run. Figured out it was dragged. 440 with auto reverse shift. Frame rails had holes the size of grapefruit all throughout.Finished a 66 Dart conv, 82 Monte SS, 69 Road Runner conv w/ 440 4speed. All gone except GTX. Your knowledge of those SS, etc. is impressive.
