old cars in a garage for 37 years

I went to a garage today where I was informed of some cars that needed to be removed and sold a few days ago. This includes the "how do I get rid of 1000 tires" post. This lady got left with a LOT of stuff. Most of it junk. Some of it not junk. The stuff in the house is NOT junk at all. I didn't take pictures of all of it. It's been in the garage since 1972 and some of the house was actually added on to after the fact and the cars are literally built INTO the house now. They'll find a way out.

1957 chevy...perfect
1957 chevy convertible customized in 1960...nice but needs paint
1957 chevy two door hardtop...perfect
1965 corvette perfect....bought new
1966 riviera NICE 41k miles...bought new
1967 camaro...completely buried...supposedly perfect
1969 camaro...completely buried...supposedly really nice
1935 Ford 5 window...chopped...channeled...rodded in 1961...parked in 1972...perfect
motorcycles....etc...

They all sold today so don't even ask. Just thought you'd wanna see em...

 

more...

 

I guess I'd try to help someone get rid of 1000 tires if I could get a deal on one of those cars, too -

 

Damn, I want those blue Cragers and that flaked helmet.

 

THAT is BAD ASS!!!!

 

speechless...

 

Wow...those basement pictures really suck. Sorry about that. I didn't review them. Shame cause that's where the high dollar stuff was. This is where the 1000 tires are too. They have everything they've ever owned from 1969 to today. There are about 40 cars and motorcycles there and close to 1000 wheels and tires inside the house and in the yard and garages. Most on rims too.

I made a handshake deal on the 35 today and then after I left my buddy who introduced me to this whole thing went back and put a deposit on it. She wouldn't take money from me because you can't even see the whole car due to the mess in there. That sucks but he found it first I guess so I'm going to offer him some money to just walk away from it. He doesn't know or like hot rods (he is a muscle car guy) but thinks he can make money on it now I guess.

 

you must've been sooo excited. Looks like everytime you started to snap a pic. you just had to spin around to get a look at somethin else. I'd have had a hard time sittin still too. nice...

 

ill take 50 tires and that harly

 

I really think there are a lot of places like this, and as the owners arrive at check out time the market will get a new flood of cars.

 

I have an AMF harley 250 dirt bike like that one. Its nowere near that condition! Looks like a cool find dude

 

looks like a '69 aermacchi sx in pic #3. great stuff. hope you get what you can out of the deal.

 

Unreal....

Super well kept...

Thanks for your advice about the title.

 

Actually that's how to get rid of the tires, everyone who buys a car or bike has to take at least 25.

 

did he know about the handshake deal.. if he did doesn't sound like much of a buddy..

 

WOW! Was this in the Indy area? What's the engine in the 36?

 

Was her old man a mechanic or just a pack rat ??

 

work out a deal with the owner to broker it, take the 35 and a percentage of everything else.... that way its fair for the owner and you get something for your time... just a thought...

 

Insane...Just when you think you have heard and seen it all

 

Unreal......you gotta get that '35!!

 

I want in that garage............this stuff never happens to me.

 

Thats not you buddy....

 

That is unreal. I don't know who to hate more serial killers or freaking pack rats

 

Those treasure troves always amaze me! REALLY nice stuff you've shown there!



Long live Indiana's very own Lonnie Mack!

 

wow

 

Thats the reason I don't keep tons of stuff around....we all die someday....and i wouldn't want to saddle my family with getting rid of all my old crap! (some is OK...but thats a little rediculous!)

 

Well... the serial killers make it easier to get around in the world being there is now less people, and the pack rats are just saving stuff for people like us who now have a better chance at getting it because of the serial killers....just a thought.

 

Here's a couple of pictures of my son when he got stuck with 15,000 tires. How many do you want?

 

good point.

 

Your buddy may have made the deposit in your favor.
