Dallas, Texas, United States - November 17, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —
DALLAS, TX – GiveMeTheVin.com (GMTV) Founder and CEO John Clay Wolfe announced that GMTV has uncovered a remarkable twenty-three (23) car ‘barn find’ in the southside of Birmingham, Alabama. The collection consists mainly of Corvettes, including a 1990 K/C 1500 454 SS (with only 19 miles on it), a brand new 1990 ZR1, and a brand new 1971 Corvette Coupe. It also includes other, more modern gems, such as a 600-mile 1996 Carrera 4S Porsche Coupe, and a brand new 1998 Pace Car. Video from the historic barn find can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07eUh7HayMQ.
“This is a one-in-a-million barn find,” said GMTV CEO John Clay Wolfe. “I buy and sell more than fifty thousand vehicles a year and hold the world record for selling 1,500 cars in one day but I’ve never accomplished anything like this. The diversity of the collection – from the brand new ZR1 to the limited edition 35th Anniversary Corvette that still has the plastic on the interior – is sure to make car junkies salivate when these classics go on display in a few months.”
The vehicles were owned by the late Earl Trammel, an avid car collector who owned several successful auto businesses in South Birmingham. According to acquaintances, Trammel acquired these cars as a means of storage for his capital rather than investing it with banks because he distrusted Wall Street and the banking system. When he passed in 2022, Trammel’s ex-wife Patricia assumed ownership of the collection, and it was she who sold the vehicles to GiveMeTheVin.com.
GiveMeTheVin.com has a unique business model. You can sell your new or used car with a hassle-free process, giving you a quick 60-second offer. As the name implies, you simply give your VIN number or license plate for them to process that offer. You can get paid for selling your vehicle with no pressure. GMTV is on the Inc 5000 list, an A+ on BBB, and an amazing 4.8+ average rating on Google and other review sites. Unlike numerous venture capital-funded firms, this company avoids squandering funds on grandiose claims through costly advertising campaigns, distinguishing itself by maintaining consistent and reliable disbursement of fair payments, in contrast to other notable e-commerce entities known for delaying or withholding financial transactions.
“These cars started accumulating through Earl Trammel’s love for cars,” said John Hollander, Trammel’s brother-in-law. “He was a car and body man for over 60-70 years. He was in business in two separate shops in Birmingham and started collecting cars at an early age. These cars need to be out where people can see them so I finally talked my sister (Patricia) into selling the entire inventory.”
This rare find of more than 20 vintage and modern vehicles will excite car connoisseur and collectors alike. A small barn in Birmingham, Alabama was housing a collection that is expected to spark interest from car enthusiasts from all corners of the globe. GiveMeTheVin.com plans to display the collection at auction in the Spring of 2024.
