General Motors muscle car collection was largely comprised of big block cars, and was auctioned off.Some of us might be considered hoarders by non-car friends and family members. They simply don’t understand why we hold on to a project car or a particular part. Or in the case of Tom Brown, about 70 cars and an entire property filled with everything GM big block. HotRod picked up the story that assuredly many of us can relate to, and even aspire to.After years of collection, Brown’s roundup of GM rides finally hit a breaking point, and the collection was liquidated. Based on the breakdown of cars and parts, some really incredible examples were in Brown’s collection, and some people got incredible deals on big block cars.Two of the biggest sellers were actually from Cadillac. Both, in fact, were 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Barritz convertibles, but one was a bit more complete than the other. Still, 3/4ths of a Barritz sold for $66,000, and the blue one which hadn’t been picked apart was sold for $91,300. ALSO SEE: Camaro SS 1LE vs. Mustang GT Performance Pack Drive Review For those of us more interested in muscle cars, there was plenty on offer there, too. Brown’s favorite must have been the Chevelle, because there’s over a dozen of them, mostly SS models, too. The Camaro was a close second, with 13 of those on offer, in every trim package available, and even a COPO Camaro 427 engine block was available, too. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" />
