Jon Lundberg

Passion and professionalism for things automotive have created the uniquely qualified career that causes JonLundberg to call himself a "car guy." Lundberg was first attracted to the hot roads and other modified cars which birthed the sport of drag racing. In 1955, he made the decision to attend college instead of continuing a racing career.

Jon's professional accomplishments have been achieved on two parallel tracks: industry and racing.On the one hand his career encompassed a wound through every facet of the auto industry's specialty side. His positions ranged from owner to consultant, engineer, management, marketing, product development, and sales with over a 30 year period from 1973-2005.

Southwest Valuations Sold

Don

December 8, 2009 – Tucson, AZ - Southwest Valuations founder Don McReynolds today announced functional retirement from appraising unique, exotic, special interest and racing cars.  The revelation came as sale of the company, which he launched in 1972, was completed to Jon Lundberg of nearby Oro Valley. 

Lundberg, now ranked as an “Accredited Member” by the American Society of Appraisers, awaits momentary upgrade to premier status with the professional society - that of  “Accredited Senior Appraiser”.  He assumes ownership following a 5-year education and training period having completed 300 of his own projects.  Lundberg came to the appraisal field subsequent to a 50-year background in motor sports and the automotive industry.

Both Lundberg and McReynolds have recently been re-accredited through 2014 as operating in compliance with the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” which are Federally-approved ethics and operating guidelines for personal property valuers.

McReynolds has formed a new entity, Grey Eagle Racing, through which he will continue to function as a personal property appraiser based in Sonoita.  He will concentrate his reduced efforts in the area of construction equipment and special projects for long-term clients.  Don may be reached at (520) 241-5586 or by email at: racecar1938@hotmail.com

Traditional Southwest Valuations contact numbers will now connect to Jon Lundberg at his Oro Valley, AZ office.  The company’s website address remains the same:www.southwest-valuations.com
