Once in a lifetime auction

Larry Fulton · 06-25-2013, 05:27 PM

As far as Jay Leno coming, that is almost guaranteed.

We had a big car auction up here about 10-15 years ago... Where a sizable wheat farmer had 300+ cars in his collection (a lot of them setting outside), and he got behind to the IRS, so he had an auction.

Leno's guys were there, as were Reggie Jackson's, and other builders / restorers from all over the country.

They didn't show up w/ just an open trailer to take one car away, they brought big empty 8 / 9 car transports... and they all left full.... Only the scraps were left for the locals.

Would like to see some photos too Tom, if you can get to some of this stuff on the list.

Thanks!

There are pictures of some of the cars on www.oldcarsweekly.com. I will be there and maybe I can buy something if I can get my Seville sold before then.
