Texas Sized Mopar Auction

[Chipstar]

Mods feel free to move this if you wish. Just saw an article in Motor Trend regarding an upcoming auction in Texas in October for a lot of vintage Mopar stuff. Pictures in the linked article were cool. Spotted at least 2 62's. Apparently they'll be auctioning a lot of NOS stuff too.

Steve Magnante's video playlist of most of the listings. So cool!

That P engine code is a 400?

Well.. it may look like another road trip is in order. We will see how
everything plays out down the road.. including vehicle prices, and the
price per gallon of fuel. I can haul two vehicles, which also helps. @Dodge33

& the 59 2dr Suburban wagon

Tx is big! What part of Tx is this??

I would guess somewhere near Midland.

Looks like most of the auction is going to be online, so it's as close as your nearest internet connection.

I figured out there somewhere. Thanks

Pretty much due north of Midland by a few hours. Randall County...see Canyon, Texas on the map...just south of Amarillo.

In the fine print on one of the auction website pages they say the auction venue is in Randall County Texas.

I like the '59 Dodge highway patrol car with a dual quad 383!

Looks like there's a 15% buyers fee, along with sales tax, and a $100 title fee.
So if you buy a car for $5,000, you'll be paying $6,209, just something to keep in mind.

I add up more than that!! buyers fee would be $750 alone.

You're right, I accidently calculated 1.5% instead of 15%. The new number is $6,209. They said even the buyers premium is taxed! I'll edit my post above.

 

[barbee6043]

Must be why I have never bought a car under those fees!!!! Wonder what I could buy worth buying for say $2000!? LOL Probably 14-15 hrs from this end of Tx to that end.

Their $1,000 bid increment is an interesting approach.

Gotta love this in the "Terms":

The Seller does have the right to make the final bid and the Auctioneer does have the right to bid on behalf of the Seller.

Be like a horse auction where the horse is worth maybe $1500! ha
