Once in a lifetime auction

qwiked · 06-27-2013, 08:54 PM

Just saw the U Tube video.. These guys may have been car dealers but they were not car lovers. The condition of these cars is atrocious. BTW who the hell smashed in the roof of the Cameo?.

Didn't they say the building was condemned? Think it's 65 or so years old...maybe
the rafters caved in?

From the video I saw, these cars may be new, but look like they will take a lot of money and work to get back on the road. You can bet the exhaust system is completely rusted. I hope I'm wrong, but at an auction the prices could get driven higher than the car is worth if it was in number one condition.

The building looked very small. I looked at the listing of cars the auction house listed, and noticed about 500 cars. Lambercht Chevrolet could not have had that many cars stored in that small building... Anyone know where all the cars came from, other dealers, ETC...

If any good cars are there, collectors will be there in force running up the price to the level of being way over priced. But I would love to be there to see for myself.

All I see is a lot of low mileage "parts cars" . Didn't really see any sought after collectible cars in the bunch. 63-65 Impalas are not that desirable, at least not the ones I saw on the video.
