Wow.

WOW alright!!!!

 

Great post, thanx!

 

Man Id love to have a wander round there with a bundle of cash, those trucks have some potential.

 

WOW! There is a bunch of them. I wonder about the funky windows on one side of the 58 Chevy sedan delivery, somebody's idea of customization or what? And look at all those 50's Ford convertibles.

 

There is a guy in Ok City doing this

 

He puts funky windows on one side of sedan deliveries?

 

I saw this mentioned online some where else, maybe facebook? there are videos on youtube of the cars and a little more info. If i come across it ill post a link but im sure searching using the auction info on youtube will bring it up

 

looks like there is one on the website linked in the first post, i feel like i saw more then one video though

 

So who's collection was this cause I rent a building out on the old ammo depo.

 

I like this:

 

Looks like a 40 Ford coupe

 

It's for visibility. No need on the driver side. Those peep holes had a very practical purpose.

 

I grew up in Nebraska and have found so many cars buried away just as this. Cool story!

 

That's nothing... They're auctioning off another collection in September, former old time a chevy dealer.

Can you say NOS cars?

 

Can you believe there is some tool on the link that calls 'most of them junkers!' I wonder what perfect world he is from!!

Doc.

 

I was thinking the same thing!!

 

Cool cars. Reminds me of an old codger not far from me that had over 200 mopars stored on his farm.

 

I will be there with cash and a trailer...

 

Thanks, I was puzzled over why someone would do this. It makes sense now, vehicles with huge C pillars are a little hazardous backing out of those angled parking spots.

Unfortunately this guy isn't alone in his ignorance.

 

I had forgotten about those building (been 20-25yrs) but over half of em were filled with cars & trucks in em,same with the bunkers in G.I (north of Hastings) my first & second 55's came there,There was one with a Duesenberg speedster & a cut up Rolls Royce & another filled with 348,409 & hemi's with speed equipment from hell,Living in Nebraska was awesome for hunting parts!

 

I'd rather bid against him than you.

 

Is Nebraska the new mecca of Barn Finds? This is a cool-ass story. It gets me to thinking of how many of these situations actually exist. They have to be getting few and far between.

A good point, but it's unlikely that person's much interested in bidding anyway.

There does seem to be a good amount of buildable metal out there.

 

Good point! Bidding against him would be much better than bidding against everyone here!

Doc.

 

Parts of Nebraska have little ground moisture which means
minimal rust for most cars.

I bought my 1928 Model A there ...

Great state for car hunting ....

My 37 coupe was found beside a barn in Nebraska with grass up to the roof. Not a speck of rust was on it.
