An incredible hoard of big block Chevrolet cars and parts, mostly muscle car-era Chevelles, Camaros, Corvettes and El Caminos from the collection of Roy Langlitz (known as Rob Carter), will come up for bid Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16 and 17, onsite, at Langlitzs property in Rathdrum, Idaho, just outside of Spokane, Wash. Anyone who knows me knows I love Chevelles, and this auctions got plenty of them, said Yvette VanDerBrink, whose Minnesota-based firm VanDerBrink Auctions is conducting the two-day event. Between 125 and 150 Chevrolets will cross the auction block on day one, a great blend of project cars, almost finished project cars, restored cars and pickups, none of which run. VanDerBrink said some of the Corvettes in the sale are judged and rated, adding, With regard to parts, everything youd need or want to build a Chevelle or Camaro or El Camino is here. As for engines, weve got Ls5s, Ls6s, 396s, 409s, 454s, 348s and more, mostly 396s, 454s and 409s. In all, there are about 125 big block motors. The inventory of complete cars includes 1970 Camaros, 1970 Chevelles (one of them a 454 c.i. convertible that was featured in Car Craft magazine), a 427 c.i. Corvette Sting Ray survivor car (never been repainted), and even a few non-Chevys, such as the Pontiac GTO and the 1970 Ford Mach I 428 c.i. Cobra Jet (not a Shelby). Online bidding for the first session will be through Proxibid.com. The cars and some parts will be sold both live and online, but the thousands of big block parts that come up for bid on day two will have no online bidding. You must be there in person to bid on those parts, no exceptions, said VanDerBrink. Some parts go with specific cars, and they will be put with their cars come auction day. Most everything is identified. Pretty much all the parts are for big block Chevys, except for a few Pontiac parts. The list of parts due to be sold is exhaustive. It includes new door panels and seats, steering wheels (some of them wood grain), fender caps, dashboards, grilles, 4-speed and automatic consoles, 409 parts, big block Tri-Powers, fuel injection units for Corvettes, heads, transmissions, hoods, air cleaners, fans, radiators, intakes, power steering pumps and A/C units. In her online video (which can be viewed at www.VanDerBrinkAuctions.com), VanDerBrink took viewers on a guided tour of an area of one onsite building that features big block heads for 409, 396, 348, Ls5 and Ls6 engines, plus some nice interiors, many of which belong to specific cars. Its a wonderland for big block lovers. VanDerBrink said if the name Roy Langlitz (or Rob Carter) rings a bell, it might be because he was featured in a cover story from the July 2008 issue of Hot Rod magazine. In it, his collection was named as one of the Greatest Hidden Treasures of the automotive world. For further information, visit www.VanderBrinkAuctions.com.
