Wouldn't you think a quick wash before taking the photos?  :scratch:

Hi JohnR and all Audio Circle members.
That's not dirt, it's a protective coating. :lol:

WOW...just WOW :o

That Cameo with one mile [I bet] brings at least $75k at auction.

I saw about two dozen cars or trucks I'd love own on that inventory list.

Good thing I don't live close to Nebraska, I could get in trouble real quick at this shindig.  :D

Wow. That's an amazing story (the first link Tom posted). haven't looked at the cars yet, but I can imagine.
But like Arthur said, it's a good thing I don't live close, for I'd be in deep trouble.

As the owner of a survivor car (my 1969 Thunderbird has just under 30K original miles and is original other than tires, shocks, fluids and belts) I get the preservation of the car.

The whole "barn fresh" thing covered in dust and left that way however, not for me.

Let's just say it is a niche within a niche!

There's more Corvairs on that list than the sum of all I have ever seen for sale.  :o

Screw Ralph Nader, that's one fun car to drive. This would be a fun auction to attend!  :thumb:

Yea, the ones I like are the old trucks. The amount with less than 10 miles is amazing. There must have been 15 of them.

Yeah, but the REAL value is based on which vehicles have great audio systems!

I don't know, I remember a 1960 Oldsmobile 88 that had a pretty sweet sounding AM radio ..... once the vacuum tubes fully warmed up.

I had a 62 or 63 Impala.  Added a really cool 8-track and found I could add a speaker in the middle of the back seat.  Added to the dash-mounted radio speaker it gave me front-to-rear STEREO!  Talk about depth of imaging!! :hyper:

Boy those were the days  :thumb: I remember when i installed my first set of 6x9 POWERED speakers in the rear of my nova.  8)
Riding around in my friends tricked out 70's van, sweet.

I showed my brother-in-law the cars tonight and all he could do was to shake his head and say what a waste. David knows these cars will go very high on the auction block. But since David has re-built and customize these cars for the last 40 years, he says everyone of the interiors of these cars will be dry-rotted and will need replacing.

Yep, not much in the way of audio in the old ones.

My T Bird has a single speaker AM radion in the front.

Mostly, the seductive sound of the big block is what I listen to in that car, but I have honestly been thinking about a portable bluetooth speaker for an iTouch as a portable solution for cruising in that car.

Bump:

Hears video of the story about the old guy that owned the Chevy dealership that amassed a collection of over 500 new and used cars?
Over 50 of which still have less that 10 miles on them, never been titled, and are 60 years old.
