    Ok I am going to go to Wal-mart and buy a bunch of those plastic tubs to keep this and the stuff I am getting friday in at the shop. I have some help thanks god to go thru this stuff and sort it out as we unload it and preserve what we can. I have gotten several PM's and yes some of this stuff is for sale ( I have a HAMBer letting me pay out a car so it goes to a good cause) but I have NO idea what some of this stuff is even worth. I have no idea what some of the stuff even is, hell I am 44 and some of this stuff is WAY older than I am. What is cool is being able to post a pic of something and someone here knows what it is by site. I brought some of these plugs home and dad looks at it and "that is a Model a spark plug."

    Some of the packaging for this stuff is screwed up. Like the glue on the boxes has let go. I guess I will gather as much original box, paperwork, ect as I can and see if I can repair some of the boxes. Hell I even found a MOOG catalog from 1940 that is in pretty damn good shape. It is pretty coold to walk into a school bus and get all excited about stuff that others would look at and consider trash.

    The NOS emblems especially the plastic ones are pretty valuable to a restorer probably $200.00 each & up EZ. That mechanical stuff will take a while to unload probably Hemmings would be the best place to advertise this stuff (the mechanical).

    I think you've used up your bandwidth on your Photobucket account. It may not work for a while. Too many people looking at it! I've seen this happening alot with Photobucket lately. They must have reduced the amount of bandwidth they'll give out for free? You'd have to go there and read the small print to find out.

    That's the kind of a load we loved to find in the 70s-80s when the swap meet business was getting big and booming and swap meet goers actually bought parts.
