It's a shame this has to be broken up. It's such a eclectic and neet collection. Four pole barns all security. Everything in em that could be inured was. Buildings had halon fire protection. Custom artwork and a bunch of gags inside and a secret Crow them that his artist did. Inside and out.
My facebook pictures has a album of some of the stuff as does Keiths. We were lucky enough to visit and visit him when he was still somewhat spry about six years ago.
First building had Several old racecars, A couple recreations, Mears Backup Penzoil indy car.
Second building had all the old pace cars he used at Terre Haute, Mainly caddy and Lincoln Convertables.
Third had anything and everything non race car. Delorean, A VW bug with 12 miles on it. Preditor, viper. BOSS HoSS V8 Bike.
Fourth had TQ's to WoO a couple fire truck and even a Sleigh or two. A Kinser, Bobby Davis, Dave Blaney and Swindell Late 80s WoO cars.
Just neat, Did the 500 wheels museum a few years back as it was open a Terre Haute USAC day and it has a backroom with some more pace cars. Superbird, Super Bee, Charger and some other neat stuff.

"He had a nephew that ran the 500 wheels museum in Terre Haute but most of the stuff was also his."... I visited that museum & met him a while back, nice guy, invited me to sit in some of the cars & took pictures ( l looked pretty silly, like an overgrown kid!
)
What kind of business was Don Smith in? LOTS of great stuff!
