Location: northern germany | Thanks for the link. Here are a couple of interesting cars (for me anyway), one a big block 60 Savoy 2 door, possible original cop car and a big block(!) 60 Pioneer coupe with the sky high option!:

Location: northern germany | Surprisingly the guy in the vids, knows (mostly) what he is talking about. Probably a Mopar guy, but the stupid resto mod hints drive me mad. As ignorant millenials are now in the market buying old stuff, I see a bleak future for these cars, that survived all these years mostly original.

That is Steve Magnante, and yes he does know (mostly) what he is talking about.  He was editor of Motor Trend, and he has built a few '60s Mopar-based hot rods, including altered wheelbase drag cars. He definitely knows the Chrysler products, but doesn't shy away from modifying them. |

I actually sold that car to this guy about 5-6 yrs ago. Here's a link to some photos of how it used to look.
http://classiccardb.com/plymouth/41735-1960-plymouth-belvedere-2dr-...
Never had any bad rust when I had it, so all those rocker issues are from being stored outdoors for 5 years. Also that paint was REALLY nice for a driver and again, he stored it outside. So sad to see that this guy was just dragging home nice cars and then letting them sit in the elements.
I'll be at the auction hoping to pick up a few of these beauties and get them back on the road where they belong!

Oh yeah, it's an online auction, but the weekend before is the preview and that's open to the public. And I only live 2hrs away so not too much hassle to pick up afterwards. |

| I am thinking of bidding on the 57 Belvedere 4 dr htp, but since I live in Europe I am not sure I can find a trasportation company that will deal with it if it has flat tires. I also send an email asking about a title and keys for this car and still have no response. |

I'd call them direct, in my past dealings with Assiter they are far more responsive over the phone.

Location: San Antonio, TX | I'm not going be able to get up there for the pre-inspection. If anyone gets a chance to share the condition of the 57 De Soto I'd like to hear. Maybe you can get the engine # for Ed Petrus. I'd like to hear about the usual suspects... rockers, floors, quarters and trunk. Data tag too if you can. Thanks. I talked to the auction house and the paperwork on that car is iffy. It will required a bonded title. Bummer

Location: Lubbock, TX | Sorry, didn’t see this post until I got back from the auction preview this afternoon. From what I recall, it’s a pretty complete car but has a little rust in the eyebrows and that passenger front fender got hit bad and not repaired very well. The rat turds all over the engine doesn’t bode well for engine status, and like you say, it’s a shame that almost NONE of these cars were ever titled in this guy’s name. So the line of ownership is sketchy on all of them, but this one especially is going to be an uphill battle.

Location: Connecticut | For anyone complaining that there are no 50s Mopars left, I see so many solid projects in this auction that I stopped counting. And with less than a day left, y'all can score a decent Mopar for way below market value. Just arrange for shipping, or pick them up yourself. Probably the most amazing collection I've ever seen.

| I agree some great project FWDLK's there , be aware though with the 15% buyer premium and 6.5% tax and shipping from that VERY remote farm the costs can ramp up quickly on that "cheap" project car.

Totally agree, if a car sells for $10,000, that's $11,500 with commission, and then 6.75% on top of that puts the total at: $12,276.25 |

| I feel like a lot of people will be buying not fully understanding the title implications in their own state. Could be a total mess. I do expect some projects to get bought that will go for crazy money. It's super remote location isn't helping that's for sure. The cars almost all being in operable, a huge pain as well. Those that outsource hauling will find it difficult to get transporters there

Then they could be liable for any issues with the transport. Delays, damage, theft, etc... That's why transport is always left to the buyers. Wouldn't surprise me if some cars were sold to the 2nd highest bidder after the winner renegs or is unable to get it moved in time.
They require that you sign a waiver just to get on the property. Releases them from liability if you get bit or hurt, so they're definitely wary of lawsuits.

Location: Branson, MO | Hey Wayne,
I'm of the belief that possession is 90% of ownership since he paid for it. A replacement title may be able to be gotten if the owner is seriously interested. But you may have a valid point if you still have the title and can match the serial number with the car. My guess is the "owner" would have to produce a bill of sale at least. You could make it pretty interesting if you wanted to.

The fact that you just posted on a forum that you sold it to him negates your potential ownership claim. Regardless if he transferred the title or not. I still get renew notices for cars I sold years ago. I just make sure the DMV knows I'm no longer responsible for them so I don't get dinged with parking tickets. |

If there are three flatbed guys standing outside the property and I decide to choose Driver A, how does that make Assiter liable for damages, should something go wrong ? All Assiter would have to do is say, "Show up at our place on Thursday and you will likely have cars to haul". They aren't being hired by Assiter. They are independent transporters. Ron |

Location: Connecticut | <p>Currently watching the auction live. Cars go off every 60 seconds or so. Clock resets to 30 seconds if there is a new bid in the last half minute. IMHO, this is an accurate way of determining the value of cars that are in #5 or #6 condition. I assume that all cars are bought and paid for. But considering that you have to register your credit card with them before bidding, it's pretty likely that will happen. Ron</p> |
