I was lucky enough to be able to spend the last 2 weks sorting thru a 60 year collection of antique and old car cars that an auctioneer friend was selling for the family. This ol' guy was 94 and was the typical (I won't sell anything, don't come back hermit). He loved Model "a's" and old Fords and bought a lot and pulled it into his woods and made make shift shelters to protect it all. As he got older the shelters fell down and the cars took a lot of abuse. I believe a lot of the cars were probably pretty bad when he pulled them in. I enjoyed the 2 weeks sorting thru all this stuff and being the first guy to do so in many years. The old hermit wouldn't even let his family in and they didn't know what was here. I have a link to AOL pictures and it should work. A lot of pix are repetitive, but you'll just have to look at them twice. I have the auction prices for everything there. Some stuff was crazy, some was too low. The really nice Austin Bantam Rdstr sold for $1400, lot lower then I thought. the blue 29 touring sor 4200, way too low also. Lots of the bodies with the bottom completely gone and no subframe went for way too much! If the link doesn't work, I will try to correct it.
