RE: When Old Car Guys Die????

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

A few years ago a buddy of mine - Glenn - from the TDR truck club got brain cancer and passed away in his 30s.  He was single and had a lot of stuff - including a hopped up Cummins Ram and a motorcycle.  One of our buddies from the TDR who lived in his part of the state worked with Glenn's sister on selling his stuff with the knowledge of what it was worth and where to go to sell it to the right people.  We all met through that club, and we were able to become trusting friends of each other.  Hopefully if something like that happens in my case, my wife will know who to reach out to for that kind of help.  Of course, my stuff is likely to all go to my 18 year old daughter - who's been my partner in crime on our Belvedere from the beginning.  In the case below, I hope someone can rescue that stuff before it's unwisely destroyed.
