    A guy from around here (Northern Colorado) he had a couple total rust buckets for sell, his starting price was $ 3500.:eek: I'm sure most of the cars (rust) he bought at the Lambrecht sale is blowing in the wind on I-80 & I-76 between here & there!
    They said there 15.000 people at the sale.
     
  4. I saw it on the local news here in central VA, looked real crowded!

  6. let's not get started on all the Nomads that were cut down....[​IMG]
     
  7. That ain't a Nomad.....

    But still...

    Doesn't look too bad
     
  8. I think he was trying to curtail the used-to-be-a-Nomad images that are usually posted after other wagon conversions appear... ;)

    Great save. Were they only built in the US, as the Nomads were?

    Interesting dual side mounts on that 4 door 56 Olds.
     
  16. This is among the weirdest things I've seen done to a car.

  17. I think there must have been a Bimini top or something over those roof ribs? Maybe a Olds Daktari Rig, the windshield looks like a Jeep fold down? I almost like it ...

    so much wasted metal, saddddd thread but i cant look away.
     
  25. Even if these cars are not restored, they should at least be saved for their unique parts.

    That's one of the reasons why this hobby is so darn expensive...too many usable old parts going to the scrap pile just because the car itself is at a point past saving. The parts may not be concurs quality (for the show car crowd) but can be a project-saver if its not being reproduced otherwise.

    I would bet every unique part jerked off an old rust bucket before it hit the compactor or the dust pile could be sold immediately here on HAMB!:D

  28. I enjoy reading this thread even though its sad. But like the saying goes, you can't save them all. I wish I could. Maybe if I had Ted Turner money....

    Nope. Check the classifieds. If that statement were true the ads would be deleted daily. Parts cars are for sale sometimes at less than scrap and still don't sell. It's a common remark that doesn't pass the $ test.
