1958 with 1.3 original miles

I'd think that a lot of the ones from the mid 60's early 70's were high mileage trade ins that he couldn't or didn't want to sell on his car lot and shipped out to the farm rather than wholesaling them. Not bad for his family when they are now getting several times what the rigs sold for new and a whole lot more than they gave trade in for them.

I think when it's all said and done there will be a lot of people who come to the realization that they paid several times over what they should have for a number of those cars and a hand full of people who actually did get some project car and truck bargains. I'll say this, If I was auctioning a big batch of old cars off in the midwest I'd sure be wanting to see if I could get that auction company to do the selling. They have done an outstanding job promoting and pushing that auction.

Not to mention the PR it's brought to all the other auctions both VanDerBrink (on site) and Proxibid (internet) have in the next few months.

Makes me wonder if they thought about doing this when they first looked at going into a nursing home, but got caught up in the recession. Think of what type of money this would have brought in 2008 when more people had savings!
