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.

When the fourth generation Buick Regal bowed for the 1997 model year, it marked a return to genuine performance for the General Motors division. Buyers who worked their way up the Regal lineup could select the supercharged 3.8L L67-generation Series II V6, which was rated at a hearty 240 hp when new. Paired exclusively with a floor-shifted four-speed automatic gearbox, this combo delivered a 0-60 mph sprint of around 6.7 seconds when new.
"Hold it: a fun-to-drive Buick?" Motor Trend asked in its review.
This 1997 Regal GS was originally delivered to Tom Williams Automotive Group in Birmingham, Alabama, and it was evidently tucked away for preservation purposes. Its digital odometer now displays fewer than 200 miles.
Finished in Black with Storm Gray Metallic lower accents over a Medium Gray interior, this Regal GS was well-equipped when new with the optional Prestige Package containing automatic climate control and power adjustment for the front seats as well as 16" chrome wheels.
This low-mile 1997 Buick Regal GS is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a window sticker, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a bonded Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.
Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
All auction listings on Hagerty Marketplace are created using information provided by the seller. The Marketplace team and the seller have reviewed all information for accuracy to the best of their abilities. Bidders are ultimately responsible for conducting their own due diligence before placing a bid, including verifying details, condition, registration requirements, and compliance with applicable laws. For any questions or additional information, contact the seller.
