Utah collector car auction

Some fellow on trial for financial fraud is having his car collection auctioned off by the Feds. Details at www.Fox13now.com

You will have to page through the links to see everything. Looks like the auction will be in Salt Lake City.

I am sure there will be a better listing of the cars elsewhere soon. The people covering this story took pictures of 'pretty' cars and many of them are clearly 'replicars'. It seems that there are some real collectables scattered throughout the collection; mostly 1960's convertables.

Looks like a whole lot of junk. I see one R129 that might be decent, and some American stuff.

I was not too impressed myself. I guess this guy took the old art dealer advice to 'buy what you like'.

I was going to say 'But it's his money' but if he is found guilty then I guess that's not really true.

Ford Pickups and all the old Mercurys

I'll take 'em and toss in the DeSotos 'cause momma needs a new set of wheels. (her first car bought for $75 was a 48 DeSoto).

The rest is trash, the cycles are horrendous!
