I wonder if they will allow phone bids. I've always wanted a 50s Chevy pickup.

Molitoth 07-03-2013 08:35 AM

I have just a few questions....

How many miles does that have?
When is this auction?
Who is holding this auction?

Especially that Cameo truck. How many miles does the cameo truck have?

Molitoth 07-03-2013 08:40 AM

That family is going to have some cash after this auction is over.

Wow. There's a Chevy Vega station wagon with only 17 miles on it. I suspect it's completely rusted out, but it only has 17 miles on it.

Someone should have some friends over to watch this video and do shots every time this lady says "miles".

Rain Man 07-03-2013 08:42 AM

Oh. There's a 1980 Chevy Monza with only 9 miles on it. That's got to be worth almost as much as it was in 1980.

Rain Man 07-03-2013 08:44 AM

He really overbought the pickups in 1964. There are seven new ones still in stock. Edit: nope, 8, and another '65 model.

Rain Man 07-03-2013 08:48 AM

So he saved back all of these cars and the only Corvette he put back was a 1978? He should be shot. He saved back 1970s era Caprices and Monzas and Vegas and all manner of pickups, and he didn't put back a 1950s-era Corvette or two? Did he assume that the Monza would be worth more in the long run than a 1955 Corvette?

1 Mile!

You'd get alcohol poisoning on the Cameo alone.

A friend of mine growing up had a Monza with a v8 in it. Had to drop the engine to change the spark plugs. Damn thing was a rocket.

Auto restoration guys are going to lose their minds over this stuff.

These are going to be all original, numbers matching vehicles with straight frames and no wear and tear. A restorer can get in there, blast out some rust, polish the paint, tighten up screws/suspension, etc... and have themselves an amazingly rare vehicle.

Those cars will go for a lot and the people that buy them are going to be guys willing to put even more money into them to get them back to showroom new.
