My father was a huge part of auto exotica out of wauseon Ohio he unfortunately passed 3 months ago at 61 unexpectedly from a seizure and a stroke. I Have a lot of memories growing up working on all the cars we have been blessed to work on. More photos and some stories to come!

Sorry for your loss.
I too recently lost my Dad.
Looking forward to reading your car stories.
Thanks. He was a proud owner of a few businesses and he was very happy with his life for the most part. I found a bunch of photos from back in the day even found some photos of a few Longchamps as well. I’ll have some more stuff up this week
I'm sure many of us would love to see some more photos from your dad's time with Auto Exotica, and for more stories about him.
Definitely been rough this past year and this year is hopefully going to be better. His passing last February is still overwhelming to think about. I appreciate having a group where I can post some of the memories! The Long champ was a favorite of mine to take a ride with pops loved these cars!
Thanks for posting more photos - the one of the lineup of Panteras is particularly impressive! What was your dad's involvement there? With your father's passing we may have lost an important piece of the history of the marque. Any more photos you may be able to find would be valuable. As I recall, Auto Exotica was owned by Kirk Evans before he founded Amerisport. He posts to this forum fairly regularly, and is still very active with providing support to our community. We all know a fair amount about his history with Amerisport but not much about Auto Exotica - maybe he will read this and share some of his memories with us.
