Re: You wont believe this!
Anyone found pictures or anything showing the 65's that are supposed to be in this auction?
Last I looked she had 3 pages of pictures of mostly stuff and only a few cars and 1 blue Cameo truck. I would think if she was having an auction of this caliber there would be way more hype and information than there is.

Re: You wont believe this!
I have a feeling that a few deep pockets will go home with most of the vehicles. and they will disappear again for a long time. thats usually how these thing work. the guy with a few grand looking to buy his dream truck gets outbid quickly.

Re: You wont believe this!
Believe it or not, there was a short segment on NBC evening news covering the story last Thursday night 8-15. Actually, the showed 2 64's or 65's that were stored outside with original paint ( paint worn down to primer in some spots). They also showed a very clean original paint '59 Chevy pickup, that was stored inside a building. This truck had a very clean interior with original nice upholstery ( two things that are uncommon on any old Chevy pickup). Bottom line, if the vehicle was kept indoors, it would be a buy of a lifetime, if it was kept out in the elements, expect to do a restoration.

Re: You wont believe this!
If you have seen the pictures you won't be upset. The trucks are junk and not worth anymore than any other one on Craigslist that needs a total restoration. I was wanting to go but I have been to plenty of junk auctions and 90% of this stuff is junk.

Re: You wont believe this!
My only reason to try going now is that I have 120 miles to drive and a friend's place to park my truck and trailer and I have a love of hauling parts trucks back to my place. The Cameo would be a lottery dream and will take a lottery winner to buy that piece of history. The outdoor vehicles are next to scrap but I can't resist the chance to try and document as much original markings and pieces as I can get close too amongst the crowd. Then just watch out for the thieves before, during, and after the auction. I can't imagine those once new uninstalled factory truck floor mats still being in the truck after the sale. The vehicle or whats left of it is yours on the gavel drop so who knows what will happen then. I don't know how 500 plus vehicles that don't even roll can leave that remote auction site with that many site see'ers that weekend. I expect there will be a 25 mile backup of vehicles just getting to Pierce, NE on those days. Then if it would be rain or snow that weekend, the whole thing would be a disaster.

Re: You wont believe this!
I would definitely go if I lived in Nebraska just to do what you said Mark, document and look for a parts truck.

Re: You wont believe this!
If you go to this link:
http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/online_auction.htm It will take you to the auction page and you can look at descriptions and pictures of each individual vehicle. You can bid on the vehicles now. They have several 64s that look great with less than 10 miles. I also looked at a 65 that was pretty hammered. |

What an incredible situation. Still boggling my mind with every new bit of info. Some of those trucks look decent, but wondering what they are like underneath. No description or pics of that, and I bet a lot of them were sunk to their frames for years. |

Re: You wont believe this!
When reading about their conditions most of them are missing radiators-bed wood-tailgates. Has some one has been robbing them ?

Re: You wont believe this!
If you check the last Google Earth of that location, you can see the forest where the rows of cars are sitting now in the auction pictures and no vehicles were visible before with the tree cover. The whole area was a tree forest until the dozers came in and moved the vehicles from there and cut and dozed the trees.. The trees also grew right up to the road and I bet the thieves over the years came in there and stripped parts off them well hidden in the trees then took the loot out by night next to the road. There is a large scrap metal industry near there so the radiators, batteries, alternators, etc and tailgates were surely scrapped out over the years out there by theft. Could have also accounted why 400 vehicles were so well packed in there by years of accumiltion. Then trees grew up around them that it became impossible to get any complete vehicles out after some point. I noticed how bad the rust is on the cowl sections and where the frames sat in the leaves and silt. I expect the drums/brakes/spindles are rusted solid so they will take a lot of work to get to be a roller. I also see a lot of forklift- loader damage on vehicles from getting them out of the trees and lined up already. Now figure out how all those purchased auction vehicles will be safely loaded and shipped and remain in tact around an event of spectators so large. The buyers better plan to have a lot of patience and reserve cash for the services and time involved for storage, fork lift service to be loaded onto lowboy type trucks or flatbed trailers that can handle a non rolling vehicle too.

Re: You wont believe this!
Good detective work HOTFUN, and good observations. That explains why many vehicles have crushed roofs, hoods and beds. When tires went flat, the vehicles sank into the dirt and mud. There is one photo of a hubcap completely rusted in half in the back of the bed. My observation of the pickups is that they all seem to be ordered by the dealer the same way. Most all have 230 6 cylinders, 4 speed transmissions, long beds, radio delete and mud and snow tires on rear. This was typical of what farmers would buy in a rural market.

Re: You wont believe this!
I would like to go, no question about it.....On another note sometime in the late 80's I was told about a ranch/farm outside of Casa Grande, AZ that had large numbers of 50's and 60's chevy trucks parked there. Apparently the owner was unwilling to sell anything. I never verified this, may have been one of those hopeful rumors. This auction triggered my recall. I could use a nice 65 or 66 c10 project again.

Re: You wont believe this!
Did anyone else notice the Proxibid company statement in this auction, that the auction company has requested to see the maximum reserve amounts placed of the Proxibid bidders? Not quite like an only online eBay auction. Here the auctioneer representing the seller, who is on commission too, now knows they have an internet bidder who is willing to pay up to that non shown reserve amount and now can run you on to the top by bidding against yourself. At the auction they could have a second person online or right at the auction to bid it up higher. Just something to take notice of with using Proxibid here to do all your bidding for you and if you're going to bid your reserve early, you may be better off to keep that amount to yourself and bid it up live online.

Re: You wont believe this!
I have had a Nebraska used car dealer license since 1986 and I know for a fact in writing it is against Nebraska state law for anyone to assign MSO titles unless they are a current bonded dealer licensed in Nebraska and have their current franchise agreement on file with their dealers license renewal paperwork annually. Goes for everything you sell, vehicles, atv's, trailers etc. The recourse on trademark rights, warranties and representations of the branded franchisee versus a non franchised dealer is why they don't allow this. So this was interesting to me how the State of Nebraska Motor Vehicle Licensing Board would have legally gave permission to break the law to allow a used car dealer to sell as new on a MSO and not title them to his company after he lost his franchise agreement with GM in 1996. All non franchised Nebraska dealers have to surrender the MSO and have a Nebraska title made in their company name to resell the vehicle because it is no longer represented and being sold from the manufacturer as new and likewise not capable of in service warranty starts on a non GM dealer.

Re: You wont believe this!
From what I heard, Lambrecht's operated as a Nebraska used car dealer after they closed their Chevrolet franchise in '96. Doesn't matter if they would sign it or an auction company signs it off but it goes back to the fact Lambrechts, as a non franchised dealer, would have to aquire a new Nebraska title in Lambrecht Chevrolet as the mso was assigned from GM originally and then they could sign over the new Nebraska title to the auction or purchaser at that point. I know what the Nebraska law says for me doing business as a licensed used car dealer or an individual for that matter, can not legally reassign a mso certificate, it has to be first titled in my dealership name and then it can be signed off to next purchaser. I know this for a fact as one time I got a special visit from the DMV inspector on this subject of the Nebraska statues law on titling and mso's . Each year with your dealer renewal documents to the state you have to also provide notorized operating documents for each and all current franchises your business represents and are dealers of to retail .

Re: You wont believe this!
So, are you saying that Lambrecht's is still a licensed dealer for used cars? If not, who is going to get the MSO's traded for titles? Sorry for all the questions but I'm really interested in how this is going to work. Not that I'm going out there or plan or buying anything, just have an inquiring mind. I realize that some states do not require a title for older vehicles, a bill of sale will do. However that is not the case here in MO. Not sure how they do it in NE.

Re: You wont believe this!
From what I read, yes they still had a current used car dealer license since 96. That too would be the only way they could dealer reassign that mso for sure even though they technically can't because they are just a used car dealer now. Reality is they probably should have been required to sign over the mso and a Nebraska title issued on those left over new cars in the company name before their franchise agreement year expired. If for example, I give up my dealers license I can no longer do business as a dealer and reassign titles. I would have to take each open title in and have issued a new title into my name just like any other individual here in Nebraska.
I was just stating, that is what Nebraska statues state and I had read awhile back in the auction companies propaganda on this sale that they may have gotten permission from the state of Nebraska DMV to allow them to sign over the mso certificates this one time just like they were sold as new vehicles. I'm not balking because I certainly would hold value to that original Chevrolet MSO being signed over to me as the first owner of it. But then they won't let me sign reassign the mso again. I have to surrender that for a new state issued title. No one is going to make a deal of this unless you have a person at your local DMV who asks questions how this being a 50 year old mso being signed over now. Every DMV has 50 state titling regulations books or sites so they can look up to verify what is allowable by the state the title or mso came from. They would then call the state of Nebraska DMV for verifications of the dealer status and so forth. Clear as mud but the auction company is responsible to deliver to the buyer a marketable title of ownership to these vehicles since they were sold in Nebraska. I see they have a $25 documentation fee on them too. Thus I wouldnt worry about getting one in the end it may just raise some eyebrows at your local dmv if they see a 50 year old mso signed over in 2013.
