This is a collection of John Silva memorabilia donated by Harry H. McD I
The red maco in the garage belongs to Tom Whynott of Plymouth MA, had it advertized in the local auto hunter for $12,500. I raced down there, as you can imagine these thing only show up about once A year. Took the pictures, he wasn't around, got in touch with him later, told him the car needed A $12,500 restoration, (trying to talk him into selling it to me for A song), didn't work, ended up motivating him into restoring it himself, Bob and I drove there one day to see the progress, he suprised me he was doing a pretty good job, obviously had mechanical ability, but the last I heard he bought A bigger house, last time I talked to him it was in his garage under A pile of boxes, half restored. You gotta think if he wanted 12.5 unrestored, whats he want now that he spent more $ on it, oh, get this, John told him it was one of only two big blocks he built. 427 4spd.
