Post Considering donating my GNX Production items to an auto Museum

Considering donating my GNX Production items to an auto Museum

A many of you know I have acquired over the years a fairly rare collection of one of a kind items used in the production of the GNX's. I have offered to sell these items off to a caring collector, however, I'm disappointed that no one has stepped up to do so. Is it that no one really cares? I know if these were items used to build a special Corvette or the molds for a font end and rear wing from a hemi Superbird, there would be collectors all over them. What is it, I'd like to know. Please share your thoughts

With that, I have begun to explore the possibility of donating these rare items to a worthy automobile museum. The list I have come up with to contact so far is

Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village

National Association of Automobile Museums

National Automotive Museum

Please provide any feedback or suggestions. I'm not totally sold on the idea yet, just exploring it right now.

Thanks

Joe

There's a Grand National Museum here in Boca Raton. It's right next to me. Matter of fact, it's my spare bedroom. I'll even pay shipping for those GNX items. wink

Do you think a museum would be interested in those items? I don't know if they have GNX's in any of them, hence the question.

I think it's great that you've kept the stuff, definitely rare and cool to see...if they museums aren't interested, just find a nice dark corner and store em up till they are. I wish I had the money to buy em. Though I keep looking at that bad ass GNX Boost gauge you have.
