I looked through the stuff being auctioned, a lot of it looks like a few hours with fuel, batteries, brake fluid, tools, these could be driven. teens to the 50's for a lot of it. Just looking at the pictures is amazing.

Amazing is right. I'm glad they're far away from me.

 

Bob, your GMC COE mixer twin is in that auction... you need to get out there ...

I'm glad I'm not near this auction!

 

I also have a contact with commercial, bonded, insured hauling service. He hauled my bus from Colorado to Kansas. He is likely to be there at the auction, the idea being somebody is going to need a truck shipped....... So with telephone bids accepted and a truck there to haul it home...... now y'all aint go no excuse....

cheers!

I really should go to this, only 9 hrs away,
i wonder if I know any fellow fter's near here that can store some medium sized trucks for a few weeks? Hmmm

 

I just saw this (I consciously ignore auctions!). Gab Joiner and his sons have a really nice museum and restoration shop, it's about 4 miles from me. Been there a couple of times with the Early Ford V8 Club. He ran the Great Race several times. Gab passed and I guess they are winding things down. https://www.jrvintageautos.com/about/

I doubt they are insisting on removal of trucks immediately after sale, they have a huge amount of room there, but probably want the small stuff gone right away.

 

Hahahaha. Yeah, I saw that but there was something about the mixer engine on it's side hanging over the edge of the chassis that told me that there is probably about two-plus yards of cured concrete in that barrel.
