Event Coverage Tyndall SD Auction

Spent Friday in Tyndall at an auction.Lots of Model A some T and you needed an armored cars worth of money to take something home.

 

So it all went pretty high? Did you get to the hot air balloon museum?

 

Hot air balloons? It was interesting to see how much stuff 1 man can hang on to,the family should do well on the sale. Rob

 

I spent $7.50. Bought a Stromberg BXOV 2 and an air cleaner to go with it.Seen a lot of old friends,I use to bike club in this area and I don't get up there enough.

 

Wow! Cool place! Where is Tyndall? My last name is Tyndall, never heard of it!

 

Post some prices, what was the deal on that odd OVER the ch***is front springed Model A?

 

The Model A I bought a while back wasn't an "over the ch***is" spring one, but it did have a very similar towing tongue on it. I think the old farmer used to pull mine behind a tractor and haul hay or something in it. Times were tough......

 

They hadn't got to the more complete cars but partial bodies and swiss cheese rusted hulks were at $800.00.I'd say 3 guys were buying 75% of the stuff.Who ever # 50 was and model t haven were the biggest bidders.They came with semi car haulers and 40 ft closed trailers.Tyndall is around 30 miles west of Yankton.

 

Was gonna go. If things went high and to about the same guy I'm glad I stayed home and worked on my coupe.

 

I spent 2 full days there- Prices were going rate no one got a deal. A coupes from $1600- $3750 ... Roadsters from $4000... 28-29 pheaton was around $3500... A sedans from $1300-3000 ... 23 T body went for $1200-
A trunk lids were $300+ for good one ... Junk ones were $200-
A doors were $150-400ea...

The guy who got most the nice stuff was from Black Hills Antique Auto .. Another Clown from MO got the JUNK bodies..



I have about 30 pics I will post later..

It was cool to see all that tin in one spot!!!

We went out with a trailer and came home without much... We don't need another project. But if the price was right we were willing to buy... Like I said no one got a deal, I can buy those cars in MN for those prices...

 

I posted a few pics on my site, scroll down below all the BS ... They are thumbnails so click away...

Cool, diggin those air cleaners!

 

cool stuff. Those prices don't seem that bad to me, but I don't see cars that old for sale often around here

 

There was supposed to be a 55 fairlane ragtop at auction, does anyone know what it went for? My brother was supposed to bid on it but didn't make it.

 

This is what Hershey looked like in 1969, thanks for the flashback!

 

Went for around $6400--- It went to Black Hills Antique Auto.. It needed TONS of work!

 

I had heard the stuff went for good money according to a couple of long time Model A guys. They didn't know much about the fellow who collected it or that he had that much stuff, said he kept to himself. Like they say, "Thar's GOLD in them hills!"

 

This guy?

Believe it or not, he really does have some pretty decent deals every once in a while...
