The weird thing is that all those "new" cars will have to be restored due to just sitting up all those years. You would be surprised how bad they can get just sitting there. Dave

Yea, but restorations will be an easy fix, no body work . Change out oils & filters and other fluids and seals and tires, and fuel pumps, wash & and wax. Looks like they would be a mechanics dream. Barn fresh finds, every collectors dream with low mileage.

Wonder if they had any Super Chevrolet signs put away or neon dealership or parts signs stashed. Like they said it was a time capsule.

Down south they still rust from condensation and high humidity but being inside helps a lot.Those should for the most part be good, as you say, except for the seals, rubber, fluids, etc.Dave

It always amazes me that there are still collections of this type still out there. With the social media and all of the TV hype the last few years you would think some of these collectors with deep pockets would have got wind of these and made offers to buy them that these folks couldn't refuse. But, they seem to surface once in a while which gives us all hope that we will stumble on to one some day. As for restoring those cars, the trend has really changed in the last few years and I would almost bet that the majority of those undriven cars will never be restored, just cleaned up and put in a collection......GB

Restore? Are you nuts!

A car with 1-10 miles on it would be bought by someone who wouldn't restore it, they would surface clean it and that's all. The car becomes a time capsule of originality as you can buy plenty of these cars redone/restored but to see one as it came from the dealer tells the real story of what you got back in the day. Panel fit, paint flaws, etc.

I knew a local fellow that bought new corvettes, carried them home on his flatbed and put them up for storage. Sadly he passed away at the age of 65 and wasn't able to build the garage complex he wanted to house them in.

I know a guy who will be a bidder on the 1 mile Cameo Pickup truck in Sept.
If he wins it,he plans on cleaning it and leaving it alone.Then taking it to shows to show others how they originally were built.
Posted By: rbonitz Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 10:53 AM
Yes - To restore these would be a travesty. There are thousands restored cars out there and very few survivors in original, decent condition.

I'd bid on the cameo as well just to preserve it - I could afford it - but I don't have time or inclination to show it. It would also be a shame to have it hidden in a private collection.

Cold Pizza - I hope your friend wins it.
Posted By: porcelain-neon Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 11:40 AM
Just for kicks- what do you guys think that cameo will sell for?
I put my guess at 90 grand.
Posted By: rbonitz Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 11:53 AM
My guess would be about the same (90K). It is so unique though, that it is hard to estimate. It belongs in a musueum in my opinion. Either restoring it or driving it would destroy what it is.
Posted By: Cold Pizza Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 12:39 PM
Totally agree...but I think the final amount bid may surprise many.It's a museum piece and needs to be shown/displayed as one.

I would venture to guess that several of those vehicles with single digit mileage will go for 6 digit prices....what a step back in time!

Do you reckon they know that the caps in the trunks complete the auto. Had them all throwed up on one hood in the video. And without a blanket under them. Don't know if this is a class act auction company,but regardless they have the duty. Hope it goes well.
Posted By: Dave's Garage Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 07:28 PM
The Cameo will need body work done to the roof line above the windshield. It is dented, must have happened while being transported by the car hauler.

You never know...but I think $90,000.00 is pretty strong money in this economy. Right now, you can buy a lot of "vehicle" for $100,000.00.
Posted By: hri_2008 Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Jun 27 2013 10:27 PM

That Barris Batmobile sold for the exact amount I posted on the internet a week before the auction. I know what your saying as I attend auctions 2+ times a month. This past weekend a car I thought would fetch near $200,000 sold for $100,000
Posted By: carolinaskies Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Fri Jun 28 2013 01:25 AM
Likely the low mileage vehicles will run near or just above 6 digits. The anniversary Corvette will probably not run in that range as there are many low mileage ones around.

Truck has a mile and a half on it. Roof damage was due to roof on building falling in during winter snow fall.

Think Bob Richards mentioned this in another thread. Sat night they are going to have TV show on the history channel called History Made Now: Wheels of fortune covering the auction. The recorder is set. Good luck to bidders.

I fail to grasp the Big Wow to this. I don't believe many of these will clean up very well if at all. From what I see...a majority of the "New" cars have sat outside for decades....neglected. The inside ones obviously also had poor storage conditions. Must have been some kind of tax right off or similiar situation to promp someone to just let new cars rot.

If you display them as is....what do you do....buy those beat to death porcelain signs and rusty dented gas pumps from pickers-decorators to complete the display? Is that were we are headed?

A few close ups of the "New" "Survivors" below.

Reminds me of the "Time Capsule" Plymouth that was buried....the last I heard they were working on restoring what was left of that famous "Survivor"

In response to Mr.Wadhams reply,I personally view these photos as a passage of time of what we used to all commonly see all across America,more then possibly fixing up each & everyone.
That's the Big Wow effect for me.
There used to be 7 auto wrecking yards within a 20 mile radius of me here.Today,not one of them is left standing.
All the yards here are gone as the price of scrap metal rose sharply within the last few years,or yard owners just died and their relatives sold off the land.and before all that happened,they were selectively getting ride of any older vehicles from 1985 on.
I actually miss seeing those hunks of older rusting metal in our long gone yards..
Thanks for the pictures. smile
Posted By: Terry Flannery Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Thu Sep 26 2013 06:07 PM
I have to agree with Jim, just a Chevy bone yard and not a very pretty sight. I drove to Alaska and back 10 yrs ago and if you still have the urge to see junk hit the Canadian border and head up any road. The farther up you go the more junk you will see, yards and fields full. There is also no shortage of golden oldies in the western states. The fact that junk yards are gone to me ain't no big deal. I've been restoring cars/gas pumps/ trucks for years now and have no trouble finding parts. Matter of fact just sold a 41 IH,anyone want a 57 Ford F6 gas hauler for $1500, runs and titled?

Crazy ,although I am glad to see them all being rescued ! And their are some great vehicles there.

We were within 25 miles of auction yesterday visiting the grandkids. I thought about going but didn't. After watching some on proxy bid and the History Channel, it's just as well we didn't fight the crowd of thousands of spectators and buyers with deep pockets. Local rumor here is that Jay Leno asked a local motel if he could rent most of it, was denied, got ***** and went back home without staying for the auction. Had he been there, I think the History Channel would have had him on. Maybe it was true, don't know.

I am sure that was just a Rumor about Leno as I can not see why he would have any interest in these. If they were Bugattis, Duesenbergs or steam cars I would think the rumor might be believable.

They somewhat explained low mileage never titled on the show last night. Most were left over as the new year came out. This explains the 4 door 57 pea green chevy and others.
Wonder what the final sell price would have been if they were the more sought after,like the two door super sports etc.
Thankfull these were sold as they didn't look like they had much more field storage left.

The History Channel blew it. The commentator knew nothing about these cars.
They should have hired commentator Steve Magnante from the Barrett-Jackson auctions.
Posted By: Dave's Garage Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Sun Sep 29 2013 03:21 PM
Jay LENO has buying agents buying for him. He wouldn't be personally attending an event like that.
Posted By: carolinaskies Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Sun Sep 29 2013 05:49 PM
Untitled nearly-zero mileage trumps body condition. Once a car gets more than low triple digits it is seen as a driver. And the story on the collection and owning a piece of the collection insures any of these vehicles will have immediate interest. Even though the majority of these were common models, they prove out an urban legend along with the barn find Duesenbergs and such.

Jay Leno isn't a car snob, he probably was even informed about this collection years ago, and who knows if he was a winning bidder, but he would be one to drive rather than let the car sit.

The main commentator was a bit of a flake when it came to cars, they should have just left it up to Rutledge to host. I found it interesting that Tanner Faust actually was out there though and in the field to boot!

I talked to one local collector who would have gone if it wasn't so far from SC. When you figure the hauling cost there was no doubt this wouldn't be an auction for the guys looking for bargains.

What shocked me most was the prices realized for several of the mid-sixties Impalas.... just wish one had been a '68.
Posted By: hri_2008 Re: N.O.S. Chevys stored for decades FOR SALE! - Sun Sep 29 2013 06:38 PM
Jay Leno is not a snob at all. I ran into him once at the Pamona swap meet, he was shaking hands and talking to people he knew who were selling auto parts.
He has sent people to auto auctions before to closely inspect cars prior to bidding.
So far nothing about the auction is on his twitter feed or facebook page. One person has asked on facebook if he attended. I am sure the answer will be know by mid week.

This is by far the best article I have seen about the auction. 15,000 in attendance. 3000 bidders in person, another 3,300 on the internet. Yard sticks selling for $50. Indy Pace car selling for $80,000 in 55 seconds.
People buying back cars they traded in years earlier.

A great read!

I agree. This was a unique event and opportunity.

Kids today have a term "haters". Seems like there are some people who aren't able to see the unique opportunity this was for enthusiasts.

Sure you may find a 15,000 mile pickup with a bed, but the mythos isn't there of it sitting in a field with nearly 500 cars for all it's life. I suspect someone will write a book about this collection along with pictures and stories surrounding them.

That auction was about 2 1/2 hours NW of where I live.
Thought about going, but instead flew out to California and bought my aunts 1968 C-10 short bed with PS, PB, and factory air.
She bought the truck new in 1967 and is the only vehicle she has owned since. She lives in the desert and truck has no rust. Drove it back here to Nebraska and it ran flawlessly all the way.
Gave her $4000.00 for it. Needless to say am I very happy I missed that auction. Got a much better deal.

Nice buy for that truck, and cool that you could keep it in the family.

If that auction had been anywhere in the Northeast, Southeast, Far west there would have been far more people than 15000 and some prices may have gone higher.

The Top bows are there. The floor and trunk are gone- rusted through. It was or appears to have been a 4 speed car. There are bucket seats. Manual windows and locks. Am radio. The car has been moved and loaded on the car hauler. Looks better, but she's rough.
