Dear 

It's the end of an era!

Everything has to come to an end, and a few weeks ago, Gene Winfield announced on Instagram that he had decided to part ways with his iconic Mojave shop. Yes. You read correctly. The shop, located at 8201 Sierra Highway in Mojave, California, is now listed for sale on Redfin. The property, spanning over 5 acres, is priced at $595,000. It features a vast workshop area with over 10 enclosed bays, office spaces, and a residential section.

I have had the honor of visiting the shop several times. Gene has always greeted us with open arms and taken the time to show us around the property. For me, this has been one of my Top 5 US Tourist Attractions. I will miss stopping by here, but I hope Gene knows what he does and that he has a plan that will keep him busy playing with what he loves the most: customs, hot rods...and ladies ;)

If you have been dreaming about becoming the caretaker of a historic shop, you now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Click here to check out the ad.

When Gene announced his new venture on Instagram, he also told us that there would be an auction where he would be selling a bunch of good stuff. "Nothing from my museum or my special tools will be available," he informed. The auction will be held on October 7, 2023, during the 16th annual Winfield-Watson Gathering car show. Check out the flyer below, and let us know if you went and were able to buy some goodies!

Enjoy the rest of the newsletter, and have a great weekend!

Best Regards,
Sondre Kvipt

Yes he did, however after he passed it was sold and after a couple of owners it ended up with Gene. When Dean Jefferies was still alive you could see it while driving by his north Hollywood shop. I'd make a point of cruising by when I visited friends in L.A.
