Wow some serious issues with this bunch. Seems to have a number of pro-cars but in need lots of work. From what I can see someone had an obvious dis-like for glass and went on a rampage breaking a ton of it.

Just checked scrap price here now two cents a pound for cars. Lowest in 10 years.This sale should be cheap as the scrappers will not be competition even if vehicles are HEAVY depends how close nearest shredder is.

the if restored. Steve you want to tell him about the standing out side looking in at grass in the Springfield or should I. the eureka flower care is doable for around 80 big ones. the 60 might be a better choice most likely only get 40-50 in it. out of those cars he has some good stuff. you just got to be looking for old 4 door sedans and that kind of thing. check out that 58 next to the IHC. be a interesting day only about 900 miles from me. I could pack a lunch. na think I'll stay home. I all ready have projects. anyone goign I could use soe pices off that 67 crown. bid it up to 100 bucks for me.

 

[Richard Vyse]

Would be neat just to walk through and see them.

 

[Richard Vyse]

How about a few more....

.... Steve you want to tell him about the standing out side looking in at grass in the Springfield or should I...

I think you just did.

There may be a few usable parts on some of these cars. For some of them, restoration will be an expensive prospect. For others, there would be little hope.

I will certainly not be in Rockford that weekend. I will leave that "fun" to others - and wish the Lazarus Museum Collection a good riddance and good disposal.

 

[Darren Bedford]

The best single part in that whole lot of scrap is the hood ornament on the Howe firetruck # 1022.

The rest is not so pretty.

I hope Rocky grabs that 58 flower car !


Did the dude die ? Is that why his collection of "mint" cars is for sale ?


Yikes,
Darren

Never knew the man ,but by the sounds of the posts by people I really trust, glad I never did.

 

[John ED Renstrom]

you missed one of the best pitch men to ever enter a circus. tent. I really enjoyed the afternoon I spent with him. but then I dropped in. I did not fly in expecting to be able to drive one home. but as I said your looking for a old car there are some in the bunch. just not any pro cars I saw

 

[Bruce Biancalana]

The frame on the 58 flower car was badly rusted 16 years ago when I sold it to him. I bought the 58 flower car along with a 55 flower car from the Jim Walgreen collection. Vergil Owen now owns the 55, although the coach builder is unknown, it is a very nice car.

For what it is worth I just found out that this action is put on by the bank that floor planned Mr Lazurus. This is in fact a no reserve put on to satisfy a debt to the bank

 

[Peter Grave - Deceased - 1938 - 2022]

The fact the bank is selling the vehicles is the best news yet. Perhaps this will be a real sale and some good deals. If it is it will be a first here. Good luck to all that are going.

 

[John ED Renstrom]

that makes it worth attending.

 

[Kurt Arends]

I can't believe that there is a bank that would loan money against that junk!

 

[Peter Grave - Deceased - 1938 - 2022]

Ever hear of a "Friend at the Factory"? Well just remove the word factory and add BANK and you have the answer. Can't you hear the pitchman, mint collectible classics rare exotics and on and on.

 

[Jay Maynard]

Sounds like his lies finally did him in.

 

[Bruce Biancalana]

I can't believe that there is a bank that would loan money against that junk!

He has been been court ordered to sell every thing to repay a delinquent debt. That stemmed from a floor plan gone delinquent.

 

[Bruce Biancalana]

Today 157 vehicles were auctioned off of the auctioned carr only a few did more than $200.00. tomorrow there is another 250 cars including these.







Here is the pic of the inside of this Packard, the rear floor is missind . What are those hydraulic rams in this pic? Level Control?
