BobT-47P15 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 That guy was a busy fellow, apparently with a few bucks to spend....from the quantity of goodies. Even has a Plymouth gas globe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I went to an estate auction saturday. People are CRAZY. I went to try to bid on a jeep cherokee It was an 87 advertised as having 37K miles on it. It was an older fellows and it had a snowplow on it and was not registered for the road. It looks like he used it to plow his 4 car wide driveway, and the lot infront of his shop next to his home, so the mileage could have been correct, although since the car had been painted, and the pedals, seats, and steering wheel were pretty worn, I'm thinking it was 137K. Still OK if it could be had for agood price. There were 2 other vehicles, a big 94 Caddy and a Caprice diesel wagon. Just prior to the vehicle bidding, a guy got into a bidding war over a 15 year old twin cylinder Wheel horse Garden tractor, he and onother guy bid that up to 1900 bucks. The caddy went for 3600 car had 87K, the Chevy with 127K went for 1200, and then the bidding was opened on the Jeep. No body jumped in so I held up 5 fingers to start at 500 bucks, then the fever to hold. Just before they started it was announced there was no title on the jeep so I figured that would hold down the bidding. WRONG, I dropped out at 1100, and the stupid thing gaveled for 3500 bucks. Nuckin Futz!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconvan Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I've seen them both ways, unbelieveably high or low. I bought three 86 Crown Vic police cars at an estate auction for $600 for all of them. I also saw a 64 Plymouth Belvedere 4 dr 6 cylinder go for $5K and it was a pile of crap. If I was closer, I'd check this one out but it's about 4 hrs from me. That's a long way to go to come home empty handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
