Default Car Auction

Our local "junk Yard" guy is auctioning off 120 classic cars. 60 of them are 57 chevy's. The auction is this Friday and Saturday. I don't know the guy, just read the add in the paper. Thought you guy may be interested.

Mark

Here is the add.

There weren't enough good parts on all 60 '57 chevies to build one car. Never before have so many been gathered together to view so little. TOTAL waste of a beautiful day.

I did not make it to the auction, had to work today. My friend went and said the same thing. He said there was a couple of C3's there, both junk. With the price of decent restored cars, I am not sure why anyone would take on a restoration.
