NASCAR notable Brooks’ estate to be auctioned
An auction to liquidate the possessions of NASCAR stock car racing notable Dick Brooks will be conducted March 24 at his Woodruff, South Carolina, estate.
Brooks, who died Feb. 2, 2006, of a heart attack, owned several airplanes, including a T-28 Trojan military training plane; a North American SNJ-5 and a twin-engine Piper Aztec, as well as a smattering of collectible cars, including a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing coupe; a 1958 Chevrolet Impala convertible with a 348-cu.in. engine; and a pair of 1957 Chevrolets, a red convertible and black fuel-injected two-door sedan.
Also being auctioned: an extensive collection of garage tools, construction equipment, tractors, motorcycles, ATVs and a 45-foot motor home.
Brooks' single NASCAR career win came at Talladega in 1973, and he was named NASCAR’s Rookie of the Year in 1969. He was also, at one time, a NASCAR team owner and a TV pit reporter.
Pre-registration is necessary to participate in the auction. For more information, call (864) 430-8214; (864) 277-5555; or (864) 680-9800.
