Please don't remove this as a classified ad. I am posting this here to find out more info and to let people know about this. I wouldn't even know where to begin to post this into the classified section as its so huge and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what we've got or how to value it. I'm a vintage car guy, I restore and race historic sports cars and I literally know nothing about boat racing.

We have 5 cargo containers full of Tom Gentry (Gentry Eagle, from 1991-1992 as far as I can tell) race operation stuff including complete brand new engines 20+ of them (BBC and SBC, twin turbo, fuel injected and carb), race surface drives (about 80 of these), turbo housings you name it. Basically a complete set of spares for a race season I'm told. Tom fabbed his own blocks, intakes and turbo housings they have his named stamped into everything. These cargo containers were given to my friend by Tom's widow when he passed away in 1994 and have not been opened since. My friend is getting older now and doesn't want any of it. Everything is still in their original crates.

We are in the process of cataloging everything as we speak. I have no idea where to begin or who to contact to try to even set a value on any of this. Any help is much appreciated. The containers are in Northern California, they came from Florida and were shipped out by his wife.

This is the boat many of these motors were built for https://plus.google.com/photos/11047...993?banner=pwa

Here is a photo of one of the big blocks still in its crate, more photos to come


Thanks guys for any help.

WOW! This is certainly the site to sell these items. Good Luck!

wow,what i would give to get inside those containers!

that's the question, what WOULD you give to get inside them?

Wow, that is an incredible stash of parts from the sounds of it. Would love to see more pictures as the stuff is unpacked.

You are going to have to inventory what you have and price each piece or just come up with a price for the lot but I would think you would be better off selling piece by piece or "package deals".

I will take two of the crated unopened motors , shoot me a price ! Jim

You got to be F'in kidding me......not opened since 94? that's like finding berried offshore boat treasure....
