There's some really nice looking bolts that will be looking for a new home. I really like the 42 and the Tanker myself, although it clearly is not a 39. I'd even take that 50 5-window, or the 41 Special Deluxe. http://www.michaelauction.com/Auctions/?Auction=21 | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | Thats one cool lookin 33 Chevy sedan | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 507 | Eric, your right about the 42 and it looks to be in pretty good shape overall and I think you are correct about the tanker it looks to be a 41. Nice collection of old honeycomb radiators for 30's era chevrolets also.

I've kinda been wondering that myself. I'm guessing it's some type of spreader or something.
That would have to go immediately. The wife, while she loves these old trucks, I'm sure would never let me put that one in the yard.
41 Chevy, I'm kinda on the fence right now about whether or not I'm gonna make a run up there tomorrow. I'd sure like to see that 42 up close and personal. Probably out of my current financial status though.
Knowing my luck, I'd drive all the way up there only to find out it has no title or something. Flip side is, if I don't go, I know my buddy is gonna come back and tell me it sold for a couple of hundred bucks.
I find it very humorous, looking through the pictures. They clearly have no idea of what they're talking about when putting the year of manufacture on these cars. That's clearly not a 70 Impala, 39 Chevy Tanker, or a 41 Chevy 2-door. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 | Well,
I just convinced my Father-in-law (in NE) to meet me at the auction tomorrow, and my wife agreed to go with me.
So... I guess I'm going Bolt shopping tomorrow.
Wish me luck with a bargain. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 | Ken---The 50 has what looks like a grain cleaner in the back, might be an old feed mixer.
Why do these auctions happen so far away and when I don't have any money???? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,402 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,402 | Hey Jed, I was thinking about going to that myself, but have other plans. Good luck, let us know what the '42 sells for, it looks like a nice truck.

Shame you can't make it though. I wouldn't want any more bidding competition, but it would be nice to meet another Bolter. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 272 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 272 | Originally posted by Kens 50 PU:

| | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 127 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 127 | my guess was a 51 or 52
a 54 bel air is still my dream sedan...
along with the 51 3100
a 56 3100 and now you guys have me appreciating the 40's trucks... etc etc...
my wife is more worried about me looking at cars than women...
is that normal?

Parker 1951 Chevy 3100 | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 85 | Jed I'm almost positive that's a 67 Impala, as I had one in my younger days. lol. Your right that 42 sure looks nice. http://community.webshots.com/user/46metal | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 482 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 482 | It would be interesting to know what the '42 went for. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 | Mike 1951, you're correct. As I earlier stated, the one picture is not a 41 Special Deluxe (2-dr) It was a 51. However, if you looked further down, there was a 41 Special Deluxe 4-door.
46 Metal, you are also correct, that is indeed a 67 Impala. Pretty decent car. 327 V-8 with a 4-speed. Would have made an awesome 427 SS clone.
Orchidskip, and J. Lucas... The 1942 went for $5,900. However, it should be said, the auction was for the most part controlled by family interests and shill bidding.
The same group of individuals (all family members) purchased the 67 Impala ($5K), a 76 Caddy convert ($4K), the 42 truck ($5.9K), and the 33 Sedan ($11K).
Best deals of the day were a running 53 Chevy 4-door for $300 and a running/driveable 73 Caddy convert for $800.
Worst deals were 49 Buick with a "stuck" engine that sold for almost $5K. A $4K 1959 Edsel. The 50 5-window sold for nearly $3K (with the equipment removed from the bed) and the 53 3-window fetched just over $2K. In my opinion, both were "JUNK".
For anyone curious... That church bell fetched $4,100.
And, no after driving one-way 180 miles, I didn't buy anything.
Sure got a nice hat from the auction company though.
Anyone know how long it takes the "stench" of Mouse urine to leave your sinus cavity?
I know it's more than 180 miles... | | |
