Rick - I have heard about this. I was snooping around the website a few days ago. If you look at the inventory list it is pretty overwhelming.

Well, I don't think this is what you meant, but I can tell you *some* things that will be there.

Some very fat wallets.

Interesting looking at the video, but what car dealer would keep many new cars for 40-50 years.

It makes no sense.

Imagine walking into a dealership today and seeing a 2003, 1993, or worse a 1983 Impala...

I posted on another thread, I'm going to go to this auction. There's at least one '72. Can't remember if it was a 3/4 or half ton or what, but it had very few miles on it. I'm thinking like 4. I'll be sure to snap some pictures and post them!

Going through the list is impressive to say the least. I'm sure I missed a few but it's a long list. There was a ton of 63/64 trucks.

I wonder about the parts list and how will they sell everything. It almost makes sense to start their own auction site and post pics as they document.

As I said, too bad the auctioneers are just looking to push the cars through as quickly as they can.

From what I can see, vehicles were either stored inside, or left to rot outside. I saw video of the trucks stored inside, and they are really nice. The outsides are dusty, but that's easy to fix. Interiors were perfect, and still had factory plastic covers installed. Anyway, if I had to bet, I'd think a truck with 45-75k miles was likely put outside, and is probably in very rough shape.

Given how broadly this auction is posted and sent across the Interwebs, the quiet little town of Pierce, NE is going to turn into a modern-day Woodstock that weekend.

Yeah, and what do you bet a lot of the winning bids will be phone bids from rich guys in China wanting to play cowboy. Either that, or Jay Leno out bidding everyone lol

Maybe as the auction gets closer, those of us that are going can exchange cell numbers. That way if any of us buy something or just need a hand in general we would have someone in the area to maybe help out. Just a thought.
