41chevy Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) My auction went off this past friday through sunday in Va. Quite a few BMT members showed up and made some units and parts theirs Good to know those will be protected. Between on line and BMT people sold all my containers of parts, over 100 trucks and an even dozen cars and 2 original Indians. My 55 Chevy gasser and '71 Pinto Funnycar also went for stupid money. Kept my M114, 3 AM Generals and one trailer.

Popular Post 41chevy Posted September 16, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Back home. The auction was a year in the making. I had posts on here when I was organizing the photos and paper items. I listed the auction info on the 2 weeks before it was to go off and first the post was "in the wrong category" It was in odds and ends, it was moved to Other Trucks and THAT was the wrong because it was a "jumble parts, trucks, cars and equipment" so the powers deleted it. The issue with me selling the trucks, containers of parts and paper items was I had 103 trucks I was "going to get to later" Never gonna happen. I sold my 55 Chevy because some gentleman asked me if I'd sell it, Told him it was a race car since 1962 raced by my dad til 1969 and by me from 1969 to now so I would sell it for 75,000 cash or not at all. The car was a gas class car all chassis tech was from late 50's early 60's . In it build now running 2100+ h.p. and running a bit over 150mph, it was loose, wore out and needed 40,000+ to make is solid. Sold! Same man bought my 72 Micky Thompson Pinto funny car less the Kaase Boss 9 Fuel engine for 27,000. Sold my Seawall/Break water equipment because I work in 3 states, Maine, NY and Virginia. In NY and VA neither state will allow my company to reopen until mid to late 2021 at the easterly. I'm almost 67 and don't need the money or aggravation. Kept three AC crane carriers and all of the Christie Track molds and suspension I made and acquired, my 1930 Packard tow truck, my 4 AM Generals, my M48 dozer and my M114 APC. Bikes, I sold a pair of 1948 and 1953 Indian Chiefs kept my one family owned 1400 mile 1950 Hydra Glide. My 55 Chevy is replaced with a used 2020 Challenger Red Eye Trak Pak when the 2021 Red Eye Trak Paks are delivered. Pulled strings to get one of the factory built race cars. My shop is now becoming a full shop to build my race cars and engines. No crisis, no nagging woman. Just facing the facts that I'm never going to get to the massive bunch of trucks, don't need the agro or the coin. Challenger runs 7.5 et and 168 out of the factory so I'm sold.
