The stuff is listed again, with more pictures at the bottom of the page. Check it out! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1934...221186511QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120221186511 Monday I'm going out there to pick up my '52 Commander. I'll see if I can get more info to lay on you.
Do you know how much of this stuff would be re-bar in China if not for old guy's hording it up like this?
I totally agree, the statement about junk collector made my skin crawl, anybody that dedicates their whole life trying to save these cars from the crusher, shouldn't be reffered to in that way, it's just wrong. IMO the guy is a "Saint"
It's just cheap advertising for the real auction. It costs $5 to run that for 7 days and with that huge price on it it gets more hits than the entire circulation of Hemmings Motor News in a month. Then someone posts it here and 20,000 more people see it. Lots cheaper than what an ad in any magazine that would do this collection justice (at least a full page) would cost. Now when they cancel it with a bidder, thats a whole other story, maybe they don't know they can just cancel the bids on it.
My Dad hauled ALOT of cars home. He knew, I'm sure like this guy, He would never get to restore all of them. If he never sold any his place would have looked like this after he died. Mom had a big auction a few years after he died. This was back in 1999. They sold well. I still have a list of all the people with numbers. They came from everywhere. These car's will sell well. Sad part is I had to sell alot of my stuff too because I didn't have any place to put them, and I needed the money to build my own place. Dad hauled em home because he liked to. It's fun finding the cars, following leads, and draging it home. It was a fond memory going "old car hunting" on the weekends. We drove the gravel roads of South Dakota in the middle 1970's alot, and found alot of cars. I wish I had some we passed on now. Jeff
