This was a real GEM! Thank for commenting!

That he did! Thanks for commenting!

I can only speak to this one and I honestly believe it was too protect the seat

No original owner Ohio truck but just as clean!

They are time proven great trucks. Around here they are mostly rusted and or modified and beat hard!

That's a tragic and sad story, but that great way to honor his memory. It sounds like the bike is right where it should be! In good hands! Thank you for sharing you memories and plans for the bike.

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Very true. And worked hard for it.

Glad you enjoyed it David. Thank you very much.

👋 I just looked back at it. A cool $50! The plugs were out and the intake was open. I tried turning it by hand anyway. Felt silly☺️

Yes it sure was! They had a good crowd.

I agree! It sure would be.

Lots and lots of bodies ⚰️🪦

Ouch. If only we had known. No crystal ball.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. That seems to be the general feeling on this one. It could be a number of factors. I think the bidders were looking at restoration cost, but not everything needs restored. The preservation and provenance this car had was really great but that could be a risky whim to hang a bet on.

Sadly I didn't get to make contact with the buyer.

@@WoodyFixit Too bad. If that's a real R code you're looking at production numbers in the hundreds. 250 or so. Little clean up and you should be able to get $100k no problem.

I didn't get to check the numbers but there was at least one other 427 engine there. Also the car had fiberglass quarter panels on it but came with steel to replace. It would have needed alot to be put back to original.

@@WoodyFixit Yeah, someone raced it of course and it isn't a factory lightweight. Hard to know how much work it needs since it has been raced. It's a double edged sword. Racing history is cool but racing cars is hard on them. You'd want to take all the fiberglass stuff off and put the steel back on and take the roll cage out. Factory wheels will cost you a bundle but the good news is you wont find any for sale.

Note that if it wasn't a real R code it sold at a fair price.

Nice 80s and 90s examples prices are on the rise. I believe the Pinto sold for around $1700. There was a 10% buyers premium on the vehicles as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Robert. It was a great time in automotive history. Very competitive and Ford did well. They made good cars. Thanks for the comments.

@WoodyFixit Also, so cool to see the memorabilia, like the old Pic of the car racing and the owner's old helmet. I used to go to Lyons Drag Strip in So Cal back in the '60's. It reminds me of those great times. Thanks for showing us this!

Thank you for the comment Tony. That's a great question and I'm glad you pointed it out. I reviewed and it does indeed look blue-ish. It's the lighting camera (phone) optics. I believe the reason for this is that it was rather dark inside the car with the only light coming from the open garage door behind. This the camera sensors were compensating and resulted in the blue appearance. Plus the door panels were *covered* in mildew. Another feature that I can't explain it this was a 2dr. sedan as opposed to a hartop.

66 were all Fairlane 500 2 door hardtops, and all white with black interior. 67 was any two door sedan or hardtop, except GT, and any color.😅8

Thank for clarifying that that Alan. It was a bit of a mystery to me. I didn't have time for a deep dive on all the facts. 👍

I there were some old Ford heads there. I recognized several people I'd seen at a big Ford auction in Michigan last year. Just a few people bought most of the parts. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Now you're thinking outside the box! ... and the bus to shuttle people lol

There's nothing like the sound of a hit and miss engine but I'll bet that sounded impressive!

@@WoodyFixit The ZC's were throttle governed but would coast when the pump counterweights were at the top of their rotation. AL.

I love you sharing your bits of knowledge.

Sage advice! Look, and look again! Thanks Al!

Yes the Bolens should have brought more. I like the oddball stuff that MTD was cool too. None were prepared to run. The auctioneer stated they didn't have time but I'm sure they would have easily. Thanks for the comment Jim. It really helps my channel!

It's crazy what gets left behind. Moving the drill could cost 10 times that!

@@WoodyFixit it might be worth buying a skidsteer to lift up stuff like that. Get it all for real cheap then sell it all

That's a great plan. Will do. Thank you David! Hello from the USA. My Mom was from England. 🇬🇧🇺🇲

It sure does! GAS engine and Big one!

Yes indeed. Would be a very unique conversation starter!

@@WoodyFixit 30 or so feet high would really stand out there's a model T on US 27 in Richmond IN sits on top of a silo.

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of that. I'll have to watch for it if I get down that way.

@@WoodyFixit another car just down the road on Interstate 70 west of US 27 south side.

That's really neat. Great information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The auctioneer had asked the buyer his plans and he said he was going to use it.

Thanks for commenting. I can see availability would be a concern. I want sure of the date of this machine because 80% of the items at this sale were going to scrap. I think someone took a chance on this mower though based on the price, or perhaps they bought it for parts...

It happens. I still see good deals though. You just never know! You have to be in the right place at the right time. Only easy to know is to go. I appreciate your sentiment and your comment.

I think so too. I'm sort thinking I could have went higher on it. Especially since I have a set of floor pans for it that I've had for 40 years!

I thought it was nice to see some nicely "restored" cars for a change. Thanks for the comment. Yes the auctioneer was pitching hard on that one. 😉

You're right AL. No sign it had ever been mounted on this Stude...

I agree. With the front and rear body damage, rust and the top being bent as you said, it was just to rough to go more on it.

It was tough but the front end and rear end body damage is what really did it for me. Just too rough.

Thanks for commenting. I feel like I'm seeing this in prices. Tools especially. Many times I've been to sales with high quality/ specialty tools going at give away prices. One of the reasons I started my store. Now I have an outlet. I'll buy so I don't have to cringe watching them sell for peanuts.

I took a set of wheel to throw on it to roll... had means but the way the bidding stalled at 100 thought that might be it. I guess with a $100 budget I should have bid on the one in tree's that went for $10 😆

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but from what heard and read, that was a common sentiment from many. Thank you so much for sharing. I did meet his brother at the sale and we talked briefly. In the end it is all just stuff. I imagine Gary had plans for every single item. I like to think he would be smiling to see that some of those plans may be happening with new owners.

and it has wing vent windows. 67 was the only year for those on a camaro.
