Looks like quite a collection. I only wish it was in Mansfield, Ohio.

I agree if only in Ohio dont have the time for a S D trip ,if someone goes please post up some info on how it went

One good thing in my opinion, is people will buy and restore the cars from out there finally, instead of rotting away year after year.

To me, there's a difference between a "collection" and a " hoarding ".

I'd love to have that '70 RR 'vert.

I know a member that's going, he lacks a smart phone so I doubt pictures will come from it.

To respond to this. What would most of these cars be like if this guy hadn't "hoarded" them?
The valuable ones are under a roof and appear to be in good solid shape.
Personally I think it's like a time capsule, I'm sure he'll get a pretty penny for his hoard.
I will agree with you on the cars that sit outside though. They deserved better

I believe half of the vehicles sitting outside will be sold for scrap. People are going to this auction to buy the desirable cars and parts. Their money will be spent and the scrappers will get the rest for pennies. Meaning crushed and not parted out like Hobbyists would hope.

They would probably be restored & on the road.

I will never understand why people hoard any cars and let them sit and rust out when there are plenty of people that want them. In my time I have asked about a couple of cars 30 years ago and I believe there still in the state I saw them at.

Without the hoarders who knows how many of these cars would have ended up as tuna cans. The hoarder is almost a necessary evil in the preservation of some history. Life moves too fast for everybody to enjoy some nostalgia,and without the select few imagine the treasures that would have been lost. I am glad to see this hoard "collection" being sold and taken to new homes.

Some hoarders fill their houses top to bottom with so much junk you can't hardly get through them.
Other hoarders do cars - and from the accounting in the HR story, this fella was big on snagging up cars headed to the crusher.
Also apparently from the story, he wasn't doing it for monetary gain - he obviously just loved Mopars.
Can't fault a guy for that.

If it wasn't in South Dakota, 1st off way too far away
but not gonna' go, way too far for nothing

**** will be way overbid/priced anyway
people will paying bidding full retail/resale prices
for cars that need $50k-$100k of work or restoration etc.

I'm sure there will be some decent survivor
that could be cleaned & saved
but these deal usually bring out big $$$ collectors
that get in bidding pissing contests

it'd be cool to see the stuff, what goes for what
out of morbid curiosity, if anyone actually goes

 

[super-bee_ski]

I'm registered and bidding...
Just saying!
