We spent Friday and Saturday there. Was huge attendance on Saturday for the
auction. Total sales were $567,500 for the 57 items sold. Therefore
average of $9956.14 pet car or set of wheel covers. Few additional parts
sold last and not counted in our tally.
Can see total list of items sold on ebay. Look under completed auctions for
vanderbrinkauctions
John Lee was there and did auction report for Old Cars so it will be in
there soon.
Not all but most cars suffered from damp storage and had lots of rust on
undercarriage. Had been on concrete as I understand it but concrete must
have trapped and held moisture. We put plastic under ours when we poured
and have not had problems at least!
Anywaqy I felt that they all sold very high. Auctioneer listed non running
cars-read stuck engine) as no 4 cars and the ones which they would run off
gas can for 2 seconds as no 3 cars. Almost no cars could be driven and
most had clogged cas lines and tanks. No brakes of course and on and on.
The NOS?? 61 hardtop really appeared to have 105,000 miles on it and showed
massive loose rust undrneath although it looked nice yet overall. Interior
had troubles with growth on steering wheel which hadn't been cleaned off.
Engine compartment had no indications of original factory paint, hood
insulator mostly missing with a bit hanging on on one side yet. It brought
21K and set the tone for the auction since it was the first Mopar to sell.
Have around 400 pictures but will not be able to send any since we are in
middle of a load of work here for next few weeks. or is it months?
It was a neat affair and interesting to see the interest and the cars of
course. Have to admit disapointment in most of the cars but most were
saveable if you were prepared to do full restoration. Few would have been
easy cleanup and use but not many.
58 Ambulance did 36K and was nice clean vehicle.
