Event Coverage Pics from an auction today

Any other HAMB members attend? These are a small sample of what was there.

 

What a load of tin !!! There is some nice stuff there

 

Fun to see, thats

 

Did you buy anything partsdawg?

 

Mmmmmm...rust...Thanks for Sharing @partsdawg...thats my fix of Cool **** for the day thats for sure...

 

Nice but I've never seen Ryan charge anyone extra for hitting the make full tab so us old farts with old eyes can actually see them without having to enlarge each one.

 

Once you enlarge the first image just clic the arrows to the right side to go through the images...yeah they do look good bigger but I always say I'm just glad one took the time to get them up...sooo much stuff...

 

I think it’s great that all that treasure will be out in circulation again.

 

I did not. I went as there are fewer and fewer collections of this size coming up for sale and I enjoyed looking at it all.

 

Wow, that's quite a collection. Thanks for posting the pics.
Where was this? If it was anywhere near me I may be busy kicking myself very shortly.....

 

Thanks for the effort, looks like a lot of rust and hope. Did it look like the owner had anything they were enjoying?

 

I'll keep that in mind next time I post anything with pictures.

Staples. Told Harker about it but he was busy. I just found out about it Friday.

 

Cool

 

Was anything selling to car guys, or were s****pers getting it?

 

I have a feeling that auctions like this will start popping up more and more as the senior hobbyists p*** away and their children or grand children have no idea what any of this old stuff is.

 

Just shows you the importance of including your kids, or your kids' kids, or your neighbor's kids, or anyone you can spread the sickness to...

 

I'd love to hear what the prices were like, and if anyone here bought anything. Definitely some good hotrodding bits there based on those pics.

 

Some familiar sellers from our area were there making lists of what they wanted. Best guess is the bodies went to those guys while items such as frames,wheels and the like went to other resellers. Saw other faces that buy smalls for that big auction site. S****pers probably picked up pallets of engines,electrical stuff and the like.

 

So here is a public service announcement to stuff the doors and running boards into the body they belong to, or when the day comes, the auctioneer will just sell them as one lot…

 

Well, that's close enough. Not right in my back yard tho, and it's not like I need any more old car stuff anyway....
Hard to believe John was too busy to go check out old tin in the woods somewhere...

 

Son and Grandson day.

 

Are you able to help out squawblow and some of the rest of us with some pricing?

 

Got there at 8am and spent a hour looking in all the buildings and pallets of parts looking for anything interesting as far as cool aftermarket stuff and found none. Auction started at 9am and that’s when I left.

 

Definitely a “tin hoarder”. It’s a shame all those cars sat out in the weather for so many years, unloved. Hopefully some builders bought the better stuff…

 

Hurts my soul

 

It appears he liked 59 Fords. I've been to several of these auctions. I leave with some sadness because someone is gone that may have had dreams of doing something. It's always interesting to see what people have collected.
