Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.
The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1968 Pontiac Firebird stands as one of the most appealing entries in the model's early lineup, launched just a year after the Firebird debuted in 1967. This Firebird is powered by the 350ci V8, a step up from the base six-cylinder, offering a satisfying blend of everyday drivability and genuine performance for buyers who wanted more punch without committing to the 400. Styling followed the classic Coke-bottle silhouette, with a split grille and twin hood scoops, giving it a distinctly aggressive presence for a mid-size pony car.
