Not that I need to buy more cars, but it looks like I will!ou: Just found out, Last Minute: Local paper ran auction ad this week (ends Friday): 1,100 cars from '30's to '70's will be auctioned off. Cars are all original, impounded cars that owners never claimed. Vehicles will be sold with Bills of Sale, but, without titles. Most have been "sitting" for almost 30 years, just as they were towed there, then! Hardtops, Station Wagons, Convertibles, Pickup Trucks, 2 doors, 4 doors, they're ALL there. Some car "categories" include: '55-'57 Chevy's (including an ORIGINAL '56 Sedan Delivery!) Chevelles, El Caminos, Monte Carlos (about 50 of these, total. Did someone say Disc Brake Conversions?:Brow: ) Corvairs Camaros ('67-'76) about 30 of them Novas Impalas '68 Biscayne Wagon :eek2: RARE! '30-50's Pontiacs GTO's '64-'72 Bonnevilles (Convertibles) Catalinas Firebirds '67-'74 (I want a '69 Firebird, BAD!:TU: ) Mustangs '65-'73 (including a RARE '65 2+2) Thunderbirds AMC Javelins '69-'74 Matadors Buicks '50s '55-57 '60s Specials '72 Skylarks (5 of them! I'm going for another Convertible!:TU: ) Oldsmobiles '55-'57s Cutlasses, Cutlasses, Cutlasses :eek2: 442's (a LOT of them, including a '67 400 4 Speed car!) '65-'77 bodies '76 Vista Cruiser Wagon Mopars '60s Chargers Cudas GTX!!!:shock: This is not even the top of the list, as to how MANY cars there ARE!:shock: I will be bidding on (1 or all): '69 Firebird '70 Chevelle/El Camino '72 Skylark Convertible '70 AMC Javelin Military Truck (6x6) They all have potential with a Buick 455! I still have 4 more engines to Build, besides my #5 Dual Quad engine, so I need more CARS!:TU: I'll let you know what's left, when I find out what's still available!:TU:
Found out more details! It's in Bettendorf, Ia, and it doesn't "end" Friday, it's ONLY Friday and Saturday! 2 Days to auction off "1,100" vehicles?!:eek2: That's got to be amazing! Here's the link, as I was told: www.Vanderbrinkauctions.com Should be interesting, anyway. :TU:
Way too cool but sad at the same time. Who in their right mind just tows cars to a lot, parks them and never does anything with them for up to 55 years? What a waste. How in the world did these guys ever make any money?
i leave tomarow and will be there until sunday. the cars where not supposed to be parted out but alot of them are. going after a few of them for parts cars anyways Greg look for my truck 93 f-350 single wheel crew cab. with pop up palimino camper on it and a steel dual axle trailer behind it. so far 4 of us will be in it. wisconsin plates as well.
