At least some degree of sanity prevails in your part of the country. Back in January I watched a similar auction in my area where a M was far rougher but brought 900 dollars. I could not help but think about PT Barnum's famous quote about a sucker being born every minute.

The old Chevy sold for $700.

More than one truck got stuck at the sale..My Ford Ranger was parked just to the left of this stuck Dodge with highway tires....I made it in OK but barely got out when I left at 5 PM.

This was the lane to the 135 vehicles..A guy was there with a Bobcat and was charging $50 per vehicle to drag then out and put them on your trailer..You had 45 days to get them removed.

Most of the Corvair's had been there for 30-40 years..There were 2 doors,4 doors, vans,pickups,station wagons,convertibles,Spyders-etc..
Some had titles and some didnt..They had 15 extra titles because they couldnt open the doors on lots of them to check the VIN..The scrappers probably
got about half of the Corvairs for $200-230 each.

The 5-6 Corvair vans sold for $225 to $600 each.

The 6 Corvair pickups sold for $275 to $450 each.

The 2-3 Corvair station wagons sold for $$250-300 each.

There were two rare Corvair Spyders and they went to the same young man for $350 each..He told me that this was the 7th Corvair that he had bought at the sale.
He was happy to get them..

This Corvair sold for $250.



I have more pics to post but since its so slow loading I'm stopping here..I have several sales to attend in March..

Love your auction reports with pictures 1206, Keep them coming!!

Did you purchase anything at this auction?

Neighbors had a small Corvair car growing up we called the Rat, was a field service vehicle, no registration or inspection 13 year olds dream car taking supply's to the field. Had the shifter on the dash. Cant believe we never rolled that thing, being low to the ground it took the corners fast!

 

[Mark Poss]

Thanks so much for posting pictures and prices. Always enjoy looking at them!

Like I said before 1206--You get all the good sales in your part of the World!!! Was Ralph Nader there??----THANKS for the share---

 

[SweetFeet]

I sure love that rusty gas pump in the 2nd set of photos!!! Have watched a few of them sell - they always fetch a high price.

I like all the rusty old, cars, trucks and tractors.

Me thinks you have altogether too much auction fun.

 

[1206SWMO]

Unfortunately Ralph couldnt make it.

 

[1206SWMO]

All I purchased was a hot dog and a Pepsi..Several friends were there and made some smaller purchases...My wifes older step brother had a Corvair and she said that one time 6 of them got in it for a 30 mile ride to the lake...

 

[Old Bob]

I truly enjoy your auction reports.

Thanks.

 

[Pete in MD]

I wonder if old was there and bought some things to add to his collection.

 

[Duey C]

Thank you for the interesting auction report 1206!
You nailed it. Some of the best auction $s spent were for a hotdog and a Pepsi.
