• https://www.dailymail.co.uk, By Ralph R. Ortega

An auction will be held later this year of 140 vehicles from Regehr's collection, which he built by making offers to owners when he'd spot them riding around town.  

The collection has an astonishing 20 Fords from 1932, a 1949 Cadillac, several 1957 Chevy Bel Airs, a 1959 Nash Metropolitan and a 1979 Ferrari 308 GTD.

The youngest vehicle is a convertible Ford Mustang GT from 1987 and rarest is likely a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Indy 500 Pace Car, Fox News reports. 

Only 43 were built.

There are also four muscle cars, including an unrestored 1968 SS Camaro convertible, a 1969 Indy pace car convertible, a 10-second 1971 'Cuda, and a 1972 GTO, which has been slightly modified but remains unrestored.

The rest of the collection are mostly American cars and trucks made from the 1930s to the 1960s. 

Regehr passed away on September 19 at the age of 79. His obituary remembers him as 'an inventor, entrepreneur, collector, and philanthropist.'

His collection of cars was never meant to be a museum, reports Hot Rod.
