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

On May 9-10, Bud <http://www.budwardsantiquecars.com/>  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
