Looks like some good project potential there.

OMG! Gold, solid gold. Wish I could buy them all.

OrrieG · 04-13-2015, 06:58 PM

Yes and according to another board they are priced 3x gold. Fully restored prices for projects....maybe time will give the guy a reality check. GMC without bed 7500, Cameo projects 18/25/35K, 500 doors, etc.

aka barrett jackson syndrome

owner probably says he'd rather crush it all, rather than sell for less

57ToyBox · 04-13-2015, 07:11 PM

Increadable collection.

**Advanced Design** · 04-14-2015, 01:45 PM

Probably how he end up with a huge collection. Hoarder syndrome? Noticed the CL ad has been pulled.
Probably swamped with calls.

Hawkerdriver · 04-14-2015, 05:45 PM

I'm an hour from there did anyone get the number berfore he pulled it? I need a few trim pieces.

Bad Apache · 04-14-2015, 07:31 PM

With prices like that, I hope they pulled the ad because people were calling and laughing.

72Mountaineer · 04-15-2015, 09:52 AM

Is this the same guy that sells the parts on Ebay?

KingKlung · 07-06-2015, 12:00 AM

So what is the status of this yard in Co?

**mr48chev** · 07-06-2015, 06:32 PM

No idea except that his prices were said to be about triple what they should have been. I think a couple of the guys may have actually been there though

OrrieG · 07-07-2015, 03:24 PM

A little off topic but last night I watched a show called "Strange Inheritance" on Fox Business channel that featured a horders prewar car collection and how the family disposed of it. 200+ cars plus a lot of parts and in the end they had a one day auction and made $550K. It is episode 10 "Junk yard cars". Can't believe the CO guy would crush and walk away from they kind of money. At an average price of $2500- 3000 it beats crush value.

if the owner is auctioning them off he'll ask gold prices but who will budge and inch for fools gold.

if its an auction company with a contract to move them. better get thier quick and bring cash!

I'm too old for any more projects
