Jim Wangers car collection for sale (TTA included)

Jim Wangers, commonly known as the father of the GTO, is selling his collection. For those of you who have never been to a big Pontiac event and met him, he's a very cool guy. Even at 84 he still goes to Pontiac events all over the country and I believe he owns and writes for Pontiac Enthusiast magazine. I talked to him at the Pontiac Nationals once and he said the TTA was one of his favorite cars to drive because of the rush once the turbo kicked in.

Here's the collection for sale:
Wangers Collection

There's some information about him on there too.
 
Needs the seat belt clicker update :) If you have a contact for him see if you can get him out to the TTA reunion next year in Ohio!

He never worked on the TTAs, he was way before that time. He just enjoys Pontiacs and bought one because he liked the car. We can probably contact him through the contacts on the website for buying the car though.
 
Nice collection...VERY nice. I figured he would have more though...And he probably does he isn't selling.

That Commodore is very neat. I would like to drive that.

He has quite a bit more, but a lot of what he has are old Pontiac race cars and a lot of rare and one off parts.
 
Jim is just not driving them as much as once did.. and as he says is sort of frustrated by not being able to spend the time with each one.. they deserve individual care and he's more interested in seeing them out and about.
A really interesting collection and really one of the few gentleman & legends left in the US Automotive scene that deeply cares about enthusiasts.
