Event Coverage east Texas auction...

That's a good score ! The frame, firewall, quarters, dash are worth way more than that. What are your plans ? I need quarters for mine...

 

Someone did a lot of work on that back in the day ! Congrats bro .

 

wow!! even the cigar lighter is still in the dash.

 

well, I really, really, really want to keep it. I also got some information on the last guy that owned... I figure I probably won't have much luck, but I think I'm gonna try to get in touch with him just to see what he knows about it...maybe he has some cool stories...I don't know

 

here's some more on the auction...

steering wheel looks to be in good shape!!!!

 

$750! Jeez, you could part that thing out for a really easy 5 grand. Probably more. Would be cool to fix it though.

Damn thing even has a trunklid on it! That's the surprising part to me, usually that's the first to go.

That seems like an unreal bargain to me.

 

Want your money back! LOL I would say you did very well, and NO dont part it out! Build it! Find a roof section and get to welding! That car is saveable! Jim

 

Too Cool!!!

 

id take it to the next swapmeet with $100.00 written on the winshield with a slash though it and sold written next to that,,,,,,,,,
just to screw with people......... haha......

 

Great score , good for you. Cadillac dave

 

oldrodkid is is pretty modest.
Hes also being honest...the kid is only 18 years old!
Hes a good guy and very knowledgeable.

I'd say our hobby is in good hands with the younger generation

 

Cool old hot rod...Would love to hear the history on that one.

 

If I would have had the extra cash, I would have been there. What a score. You just dont find 32,s that cheap anymore. Good score on the ford trucks too Any more picks of the cars?

 

Very, very nice score!

 

Some good scores. I wanted to go but it was the family Christmas dinner so it wouldn't of gone down too well. Nice to see some Hamb'ers got some good deals.

 

workin on uploading the pics right now...

 

here's some...

 

Congratulations ... just goes to show that they are still out there. There is easily 4 or 5 thousand dollars worth of parts on your $750 purchase.



I would keep it ... and slowly fix it. You are YOUNG and have the time.

 

i bet you couldnt get that loaded fast enough!!!!!!!!! nice score man!

 

Glad to hear someone of your age is smart enough and in a position to score it. My boys are over my shoulder drooling. If it were up to my boys and I, we'd have our own junkyard! Mostly AD Chevy trucks but we'd expand to accept the 30s and 40s car as well!

 

Nice score! DO NOT SELL IT! What you have is a once in a lifetime chance for most of us. And at that price, you cannot lose.

Build that car, like said before, you have the time.

It was cool for those guys not to bid it up. If that was here, it would have been bid through the roof.

 

thanks for the kind words.

 

I was up half the night Fri nite debating whether or not to go. I actually called my dad at like 6 am Sat and had him talk me out of it. lol I shoulda went apparently.

 

..

 

I had my heart set on that ole late 40s Chrysler in one of the photos. Ive always loved how much grille theyve got. Any other prices you can share with us? Still curious about Manyolcars' findings in the trunk of his shoebox ford though....
