Anybody see this vid and aware of this collector/guy in Minnesota?

Just a shame he is wearing a CHEBBY shirt in this vid.

I don't recognize him, but I'm a full size Pontiac guy so I'm not as familiar with the GTO crowd.

Edit: I did see his Rambler gasser driving around at the Back to the 50s car show.

That's Paul Kilker. Very nice guy. Believe he posts as GTO.PAUL on the forum.

It’s actually more of a shame Richard Rawlings’ face popped up right away as I would have like to have seen those cars.

Great collection of parts and cars. Paul's a great guy and knows these cars inside and out. His 69 Black Judge was at the GTOAA in Wisconsin Dell's this year and is a work of art. Cool clip and thanks for sharing.

Purchased many a parts from Paul, always treated me right. Stand up guy. Gas Monkey guy, not a fan. Suprised his ego fit through the door.

He certainly had an opinion on how much everything was worth, though.
Even before he saw it.

I met Paul at a show a hand full of years ago we talked GTOs and exchanged numbers. We spoke on the phone a couple of times. He was always cool with me. Had no idea of the amount of really cool stuff he has. The monkey goes into another guys shop and pretty much walks away from him while he is talking about a car, kind of disrespectful but what do I know.

Default GTO Heaven

Hi everyone! I thought I would respond to my fellow forum folks. A little background, my neighbor friend, Ben, had wanted to get Richard to my GTO hangout for a while. I thought "no harm in that", just show one car enthusiast what you have and maybe there is something he just has to have. I had no idea it was going to be filmed (hence the "Chebby" T-shirt I was wearing- wouldn't want to destroy a GTO shirt). Anyway.... they arrive, greetings exchanged, offering of a cold beverage-hard to refuse with the hot summer we have had, and then his tech guys get out the cameras and mic me up. What! That sure caught me off guard. Had I known that was the plan I would have had a GTO shirt on, tidied up the place a bit, closed the hood on my Judge conv, moved a cart, etc. It was all done with no forewarning, rehearsal, etc. of any kind so I just went with the flow. I do know that there was some editing of the footage and any walking away was probably not intentional- after all he was in Pontiac Heaven, kid in the candy store, deer in the headlights, whatever.

I'd liked to seen Rollins get caught drinking that beer going down the highway in MN. He would've definitely left soon change here.

A friend of mine sent me this awesome video a week ago and I was amazed at all the stuff Paul has. That must be Heaven.

I’ve also purchased a couple items from Paul and the price was right and the quality excellent.

This Rawlings guy had no clue what was in front of his face.

He looked like he was searching for a mustang in the corner somewhere that he could customize.

Chris.
