gossp Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I don’t think this will make the list of good deals from around the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 To paraphrase what a friend of mine says when he sees a restoration project, looking at all the work that needs to be done makes my head hurt..... Just moving all those cars out would be a headache..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 So if I'm reading the ad correctly it's 115 cars for $1,880,000. That works out to about $16,350 for every car? Sorry, but some of the cars aren't worth $1000. What am I missing? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) The parts look rusty is that from the salty air in Florida ? I see one car I would like to buy this Royale. What is that white car in the parts section that is all taken apart. Edited February 17, 2020 by Mark Gregory (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RansomEli Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Great post, Steve. You've earned your pay this week 🙂. Look at it this way. If you had $1.8 million cash, you could easily find an investment that earned 5%. That's $94,000 per year for life. If you invested that money in this collection, you'd have to make more than $94K each year just to break even. Plan on restoring and selling the cars/parts over a period of 20 years. Could you do it and make more than $94K per year? We all know how how successful it is to restore cars for profit. Paint, chrome and upholstery would destroy you. I'll pass on this opportunity. P.S. Is that a Chrysler Imperial or a REO Royale in the photos? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Hey, if you "do the math" that comes out to about $1.87 per pound of dust and rust. Hot Dang 😯🙄🤪!!!!! This is a President's Day Special. No not to be confused with a Buick Special - because they really are - SPECIAL.

Walt G Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi Terry my friend, hey what do you want everything? If you buy it and want it shipped you have to give them a very large SSAE! Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Gee, I am surprised you guys are not jumping all over this deal! NOT!!! Wow, David, I am with you...the thought of dealing with this gives me a headache too. Would love to rummage around the facility though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 As usual the price is not realistic unless there is a couple of Model J's hidden in there. However, I like the Reo Royale for under 20k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3macboys Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Looking at the one PDF I opened I think they are confusing finished cars with projects and are they even located in the US? From the plates they look like they might be in Brazil??? I may have missed something in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 When my grandfather ran the used car lot in the 1950's and 1960's his mainstay was Chevy 6 cylinders. Every so often the wholesale lot would push off a couple of what makes up this collection and we'd be stuck with them in our back row. When we eventually sold them the buyer would look different than the typical buyer, be oddly dressed, and have some kind of twitch or speech impediment. Thanks for bringing back some boyhood memories. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 You are right, they never say WHERE the warehouse is. The rising landscape does not look like south Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Smolinski Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Judging from the pigeon English in the ad & the license plates, these are somewhere south of the border. That would make some sense because that is drug lord country (from our southern border to the tip of S. America), & with the price posted, it’s obvious these guys are using some of the drug lords’ product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’m with you Steve, it would be fun to go thru that collection just to see what’s there. I wonde if my first car as a kid back in 64 - a 57 DeSoto could be hiding somewhere in there? Dave S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenie Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 One of the encouraging things about our hobby is that hoarders are not immortal. Eventually, all these hoards come back into circulation. I always hope they find their way to Hershey, not the local landfill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the introductory text, it sounds as if the warehouse building is indeed included: "Classic Cars [sic] warehouse with 115 [cars] for sale...

Guest Mark McAlpine Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'll take the gauges/instrument panels, wheel covers, and license plates shown in the parts photos. I'll even round up the price to $2/pound. Would also like the 1941 Graham Hollywood, but in its shape it would have to be less than $2/pound. I'm with Steve and the others--I'd love to wander through this facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepher Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I see a lot of parts cars, a lot of scrap metal and only a handful that will ever be restored or made to even run again. Weren't we just talking about hoarding cars and parts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Quite an eclectic collection, a few interesting cars worth the effort to pursue but most readily available in better condition here. The REO Royale, '38 Hudson Terraplane convertible, '39 & '42 Lincoln-Zephyrs, Packards such as the '28 Six convertible coupe, '36 120 sedan, '46-'47 Clipper limousine, the lwb pre-war models, the export '46-'48 DeSoto Diplomat, '50 Mercury station wagon all stand out. Unfortunate they're so badly overpriced and located so far away. The seller is bewildered why no one has jumped on this 'marvelous' opportunity.
