Went to an estate auction outside Charlotte, NC yesterday, it had been tied up for some reason since 1975. These cars had been sitting in a barn since the 1950's. The photos actually make the cars look better than they really were, the tudor was super rusty, the doodlebug was really beat and the T coupe was fair, but the rear was super rusty and obviously missing tons of parts. I think rodders bought all of them.

I thought the prices were high, opinions?


1931 tudor sold for $2600.plus buyers premium


T Coupe sold for $1900. plus premium.


Doodlebug A sold for $1500. plus premium.

I am in southeastern NC. I could not make it to that auction since we had our Annual Chapter Show yesterday. Good to see that I did not miss anything since I certainly would not want to pay those prices for that condition.

Here is a link that will be good for a couple weeks to the rest of my photos.

High prices for what appear to be junkyard or field cars. I will say if the tudor body is solid they are in demand around here by both rodders and restorers. Tough to tell, but the actual T coupe body looked sound in the picture.

The tudor body was not real solid in my opinion, it needed a complete subframe and patch panels all around the lower body and the fenders and shields were all trash. The front half of the T coupe was decent but the rear deck area was very rusty, the rear of it must have stuck out of the barn for 50 years.

What is the touring car in the back ground?

thanks for all the pictures. LOVE that stuff
