Estate Sale of Racing Historian’s Rare Lifetime Collection

This is an estate sale of racing historian Charlie Craig. Charlie accomplished much in his life and was very respected. This is an awesome man cave type sale that you don't want to miss.

There will be some items that the price will say firm. These items will not be reduced from the price shown. You will see many rare items that I feel is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own.

The following is a little about Charlie Craig's life and what he accomplished.

Charlie has restored many cars and race cars. Was a custom painter and one of the best pin striper you could find. Charlie hand lettered many race cars over the years. He was one of the best pro model car builders around and was the captain at the local volunteer fire department. He worked for the county police on unsolved crimes.

Charlie had a show called "Racing Around The Carolinas". He interviewed many famous race car drivers over the years and was a friend to many of them. He held a large car show every fall at his home for charity. Many famous and local racers attended and brought their race cars. He literally has a museum of rare items at his home that was accumulated over his lifetime. Charlie was the racing historian on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s show called Forgotten Speedways. That episode was about the old Metrolina Speedway in Charlotte.
