For Sale Chryslers at auction in Minnesota

[King Hooter]

What do you think ballpark they are gonna go for?? I know a few different models, but I can't see them going over 5 ( maybe the wagon)

You already know that the auction company is going to try and get every bit they can. Staring high and ending up quite a bit lower. These Chryslers are far from mint and when zoomed there is rust and the interiors might be questionable. I'm thinking they will be averaging $2,000 -$2,500 for the formals.
The last Minnesota collector auction I attended (a VanDerBrink Auction) had mostly 60's Chevy sedans that some were running only brought less than $2,000

I don't like the idea that you can only see the outside at a distance.... no motor shots, no interior, no underside. Big gamble.

I haven't been to the Lake City area for a while. Thinking about running up the river to check the auction out. Then heading up to Red Wing to visit some friends.

I talked to Steve Heitman (the owner) about 3 months ago and he's open to a visit and inspect the cars. Of course, if you're on the East or west Coast that's probably not going to happen.

Someone such as myself or @Newport 66 may be able to get over there and inspect and document a car if a member is interested. Overtime is drying up and I'll have time before the auction happens, PM me if you'd like a car looked at.

^^ Yes, Go for it! I've got medical stuff to deal with in the next 10-12 days and I might take a spin up there after that! I'd recommend calling him first!

The 68 Imperial sedan got my attention...rare machine.

 

[Robert Saigh]

He's got too many Formals to stay away!

 

[James Romano]

Anyone planning on going there to check out the lot before the auction?

 

[Robert Saigh]

I'm going to try to go there at the end of next week (June 12-13-14) depending on a couple of small issues around here!

I guess I'm lucky or unlucky I don't live within driving distance of that...depending on how you look at it...

Thanks for doing this. If you see the Maroon 66 New Yorker, can you take some pics of the interior and usual areas of concern. Motor as well.

Thanks a mil!

 

[Robert Saigh]

I will do that....I must warn you I only have a flip phone with a camera, so they won't be as good as if they were taken from an I phone.

 

[James Romano]

I'm the begger... so I won't be the chooser. LOL. Thanks for doing it.

FYI - hundreds of additional pictures have now been added to the auction website of the cars giving a much better idea of their condition. Also on the Proxibid site it lists the engine size and running condition.

I am going to try and inspect the cars in person the weekend before the auction. And I plan to attend auction also

The gold Chevy roundback wagon already reached 10K while most Chryslers are under 1K. I hope some of them get saved from the derby.

I should of never taken a closer look at the additional pictures. I'm really fond of at lest four of those beauties (and maybe one more).

Even if two of them are R-bodies, because R bodies matter.

Made the road trip to Lake City this past weekend and was able to check out the cars prior to the auction. Steve the owner was super nice and came across as being very knowledgeable. For being a “derby guy” he actually did try and save the ones he has. Unfortunately he sold off all the parts he had to a junk yard already, so no parts will be sold at the auction. Plan is to bring a truck and enclosed car trailer on Saturday. Fingers crossed that the one(s) I’m interested in go for the right price. Just hoping they all (or at least most) fall into the right hands and continue to live on.
