As the old saying goes "I'd be like a kid in a candy store" make sure you post a ton of photos, no one is doubting this stuff is the real deal.

That is so f....... cool! That Chevy will will bring quite a bit at auction. Now get to work opening the rest of the crates. I'd love to see pics of the Chevy after it's cleaned up. Stop touching it until the abrasive dust is cleaned off!

I thought I woke up , walked to the couch, and logged on OSO to see what's up. I guess I'm wrong. I must still be in bed dreaming. Just read the whole thread. Wow !

holy friggin crap that is some cool stuff. Its like unearthing Tuts tomb but for car (boat) guys lol. I have to agree that scale model is pretty bad azz, it actually looks similar in design to Al Copelands Phenom but years earlier. I love that "Gentry" detail cast into everything ( logo slightly reminiscent of Gru industries lol) .

The Chevy is a 1964. Not a '63. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up.

I have the Gentry Eagle 50 Catamaran that used most of that stuff in containers. You can buy the hull and trailer and do a period correct restoration. The boat is near the containers. She is in Pittsburg CA and the hull is still in excellent shape. Originally a Cougar cat modified many times by Tom Gentry and crew. This is the World Champ boat and speed record holder.
