I think someone made him a hell of a deal and bought all the stuff.

I may have missed it...but I didn't see Bob Teaques name mentioned here as someone Shaun should contact.... Bob T & Bob Nordskog paired up to race against Tom Gentry many times... I would think Teaque would be interested... or at least shed some light on the items in these containers....

Yes I still have/own the 50 Gentry Aluminum Cat in Pittsburg about 45 miles from containers. I'm happy to sell her to someone who wants to restore her right. Shaun would be the first person to contact and nail down inventory and drives. As a package she might finally run again! The link he posted is current on google. She has a really nice tilting trailer and is in nice condition with all original livery still in order.

Hi guys,

Sorry it has taken me so long to post anything new. Life and my day job got in the way of things

I went by the shop today and opened up one of the cargo containers which hadn't been opened before and found some amazingly cool stuff. Took pictures of the new stuff and a couple photos of some of the stuff I've posted before.

Some of the new stuff

1) Cool painting of one of the boats

2) A big-block turbo charged, fuel injected monster we hadn't seen before in a crate

3) A 1963 283 Chevy Impala! Gentry's which has been in storage since at least 1994 its in primo condition (hard to get to sorry only could get one photo its way the heck in the back of the container)

4) And the best for last... what looks to be a scale model used for testing his hull design! Hydrodynamic testing? It was way cool. Tons of adjustable pieces on it and what looks like sensors on the outer edges.

Anyways. I'm doing my best to get out to the shop this summer to take more photos. We still have two more cargo containers to open up yet!

My goal is to find time to pull everything out and catalog it so that anyone interested in buying this stuff can know what they are getting. Please contact me if your interested in this stuff or can help identify components.

Please be patient! My day job takes most of my time and the shop is almost 3 hours away from where I live.

Thanks guys, keep in touch and enjoy

Cool painting of one of his boats


New photos of the two engines in the office area. Had been hidden behind at bookshelf!


New engine we found still in its crate. Looks to be a BBC twin turbo, fuel injected muther of an engine w/ Mercury Marine ECU


More of the BBC


Some random stuff we found in the new cargo container, not sure what this is??


More random stuff, what the heck is this? Its got Gentry label on it


Photo with todays date I drew with my finger in the dust for those who still doubt this stuff is legit!



Again more random Gentry labeled stuff. Any idea what this is?? They are HUGE and there are a ton of them. Some which look unmachined!


Unmachined version of the previous photo sitting next to the Gentry labeled ones. These have no markings on them. What are they?



Another gentry labeled device. Looks same as above Red transmission type "thing".. there are about 10 of these what is it?


There are about 20 of these, outdrives?


Finally, a car here s something I DO KNOW ABOUT... how about a 1963 283 4 speed, like new condition interior and outside (minus the dust of course). Also Tom Gentry's stored since 1994


And the best for last, or at least the coolest thing I think we found today. A scale model of one of Gentry's boats. Looks like it was used for Hydrodynamic testing? Has adjustments all over the place and what look to be sensors





Thanks again guys.
