BILL BENNETT ESTATE
This page is meant to be an update on the current status of the liquidation of the Bill Bennett estate. At the beginning of summer we requested help from all the local car clubs and friends of Bill’s. The goal was to palletize the contents of one of Bills building so it could begin to be organized and prepared to be sold. As now there is only a crew of 2 people continuing, this continues to be a HUGE undertaking and we appreciate your patience. Below are some before photos and then some current status.
any questions contact: Jason Deisman jcdeisman@gmail.com (559)361-2599
After approximately 50 workers and 8 hrs of hard work the floor was found.
CURRENT STATUS AS OF 10/20/2025
**IF YOU RECEIVED THE EMAIL YOU KNOW THE DATE**
Finally the day has come! Thank you to all who came and helped clear the floor of the big building at the beginning of summer. We have been working very hard to have everything viewable and items that were stored, being “worked” on, or family heirlooms removed. Most everything left is for sale. Vehicles with titles will not be able to be transferred until mid November. This is only the PRE- SALE and I will be selling in the days and weeks after. You can arrange a viewing time after the Pre-Sale if you would like but all sales are first with the cash and no holds. Items will need to be removed immediately following purchase. Large item pick up is case by case.
**PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SOME ITEMS PHOTOGRAPHED MAY BE GONE BECAUSE PARTS BELONGED TO DISASSEMBLED VEHICLES, ITEMS WERE RETURNED TO OWNERS, AND or FAMILY HEIRLOOMS. MOST EVERYTHING PICTURED IS STILL AVAILABLE THOUGH.**
