Cool! I'll have to check that out. Didn't realize they were selling memorabilia as well.

I looked through everything they were selling and didn't see that model. Guess I'll have to look again!

So sad to see everything listed - they're literally clearing out everything from his office and the displays in the museum upstairs.

It was always so neat to see all that stuff on display during visits there.

End of an era.

I went through and didn't see it either.

I'm sorry guys, I just looked at the lots and didn't see it either. I pulled the picture from an email Mecum sent me announcing the sale. This was the link:

The big oly helmet would be very cool to have. Too bad it will go for as much as it costs to race in Mexico

I'm wondering if the tequila bottle is the actual bottle they used to transfer fuel from the car with the 4 drunk guys to Big Oly to help them finish the race.

One of those things that you kind of have to take on faith that it is. I know that Stroppe had it in his office for many years and then it went to Parnelli after Bill died.

This is one of those conundrum things. It would be great to own a piece while it would be great if it all could be kept together in a place the public could see as a whole. Such a icon for motorsports.
