Lot of cars for sale, help ID one?

Just thought this was interesting on that auction site http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360013755820

What the hell kinda car is this?

 

looks like a volvo???

 

Looks like a Volvo to me.

 

Datsun somethingorother, maybe? In the thumbnail it looked a little bit like an MGB, but grille and post position don't look right.

That or a volvo.

 

Same as "The Saint" drove.

 

Volvo 1800 1960something.

 

Volvo P1800.

Edited to add: Wow, there were a ton of cars in that auction. However, a buy it now of $195k?

 

Here's a '69 Volvo 1800S.

 

I Guess It Is A Volvo...

 

volvo not sure about the tree though!

 

My guess is a volvo!

 

Well crap. Yes it is a VOLVO! and it is an 1800s.

 

It ended early with a "Buy It Now"! Thats a lot of cash for what I saw.

 

Lots of HAMB friendly cars there. Anyone know what this one is? A Vicky??

 

"All these rusty heaps are mine!" I can just see the face of the hoarder that died with all that crap in his yard. A handfull of those would keep a guy busy for life, one would be more than enough for most of us. I don't understand the needless hoarding.

 

Yeah they might have been hoarded but they will be on the market soon. In a way its good there are hoarders, otherwise all this stuff would have been gone years ago.

 

Yes, that's a Victoria of some kind. Not sure what make. It's got a lot of potential

 

It looks like a '29-'30 Dodge Brothers to me. I'sd like to see a differant angle.

 

This other picture showed it better.

 

The way the Volvo top is designed makes it look part Marlin...

 

Collectors like that guy, are the very reason we still have projects left, otherwise they would of been scraped years ago, my hat off to any, and all collectors out there, it's not as easy as one would think to be able to hold onto such a collection in this world we live in as more and more people view it as junk. On a side note, if I had the cash, and means, I would of thought the buy it now would of been reasonable, but of course I would of tried to offer 150K, but still worth every penny.

 

Checking the listing that was included in the ad leads me to believe this is the '31 studebaker coupe, Big, heavy, expensive looking-typical of a Studey President.

 

Wow! there is a ton of potential there guys. I hope someone in my area is able to hook it up!

 

I don't know but it seems like you are buying a lot of blue sky and hard work on that deal at 195k. You can probably just get your money back but what's the point in that? Old cynical bastard's viewpoint I know but I have bought out pack-rats before it's a lot of work. Just my humble opinion.

 

If they actually paid $195 for it that averages out to about $2000 per car. Most of those cars will be lucky to fetch a few hundred bucks, even if they were scrapped. It would be pretty hard to even recoup the cost, let alone make money on that deal.

I hope the buyer is a rodder or restorer that can make use of the cars, or get them to people that can.

 

Agreed, I was trying to be kind saying you could get back your money.

 

It is a 1959 Volvo PV544

 

Agreed also there is alot of junk in there, and alot of duplicate pictures, but if I had the money, it would be worth going out there in person and checking it out for sure, I have actually heard stories of hoards like this with a hidden Duesenberg in the mix, you really never know But either way you look at it, there are fewer and fewer of these hoards still availible.

 

Yep, all it takes is a couple of good ones to make it a bargain.
