The first trip on the road since early -60s (in sleep for about 50 years)

Harley -30 something, with engine (double camshaft engine for racing) in the side wagon, 49 000 USD

Other HD and Indians, ruffly 15 000 USD each.

Fords and chevys 7000- 14000 USD each.

4000 visitors at the auction=high prices.

 

The prices metioned above are including +20% in fee to the action company on highest bid.

Robbery!

 

Thanks for the update did most of the cars and bikes stay in Sweden?

 

That Tatra T600 looks like it could be a lot of fun, European sled material!!

Doc.

 

Most of the car and bikes stayed in sweden. The harley fo 51 K went to Germany.

The cadddilac was sold two times due to auctionist not knowing what he was doing. First to a guy from Germany for 25 K. To save the auctionist from beeing lynched the German guy agreed to go for bidding again. Now a Swede won the bidding. 300 K + 20% fee. The German guy went back to Germany with 20 K in his pocket and a big smile in his face.

The newspapers reprorted "scandal auction, caddilac sold two times"

The Tatra stayed also in Sweden.

 

It just amazes me how many American cars and bikes are still in the barns and sheds in Europe ....not as many scrap drives over the last 60 years?

 

Thanks for the update.
