OK who bought trucks at the Lambrecht auction??

[awbrown]

We need pics and details...........

[1963c-10]

You be hard pressed to find many of us here on the forum who paid the kind of money the trucks went for. Im interested also...but I don't expect much response.

[ncoonen]

If any of those buyers are here, they'll be wearing the cone of shame for quite a while.

...ned.

What I take away from the various posts about this auction is there is widespread disappointment that nothing ended up here on the forum, which might have happened had anything sold for close to what it was really worth. I would have liked it if all those trucks where bought by forum members and we got to see details of what they looked like and how much effort each required to return to top notch condition.

Boy this is going to get stupid.....

[1963c-10]

I think I read an article on yahoo earlier where this guy purchased a case for $500 that had 12 yard sticks in it.

The real question is not "WHO", but at those prices, "WHY"?

[NEWFISHER]

So if you have a Copo or Yenko Camaro, nova etc. you have a shiney nice muscle car with some cool dealer ad on's , but if you have a Lambrecht 4 door or C10 you have a __________ that you spent twice as much as a Copo or Yenko Chevrolet Dealer model.
Hmmm, which one would I rather have?
1. a running driving piece of history with xxx miles or
2. a non running , non driving, needs total restoration that I spent twice as much as option number 1, but I get to say it has 5 miles on it.

When I buy something at Cabela's and it's not on display or on the shelf and they have to get it from the back room I don't pay 4 times it's value because nobody has touched it. Mabey if they kicked it out the back door, let it rot and the assemble a bunch of idiots with large pockets to bid on the only " non shelfed Cabela's item in the world" it might bring 4 times the money?

I get ( just for a split second and the reality sets in) that a car/truck is only new once. These were not new, mabey 50 years ago but not now. They are in worse mechanical and cosmetic shape than 90% of the ones on this board , craigslist, ebay and on the road. The only thing that shows 5 miles on these things is the cluster. The bushings, rubber, weatherstrips, mechanicals, brake lines ( moisture) etc all have to be replaced. At that point all you have is an embarrassing story that you held your hand up for an instrument cluster with 5 miles on it, paid too much and now have to pay more to restore it to drive it.

I just don't get it I guess.

[1963c-10]

And they only show 5 miles if they actually have a cluster....haha..

[DURG]

It wasnt just the new ones that sold for crazy money though. Vanderbrink should have (who knows maybe did) drag in a bunch of junk just to say it was part of the Lambrecht estate and sell it for 10 times what it was worth. Why would a used with 60K miles 4 door Chevy midsize car in terrible condition sell for 8-15K? None of this makes any sense???

[kcsa75]

Here's one.

[1963c-10]

That's not a bad deal or price for the 68. He set a reasonable amount for what he wanted to spend and actually got if for a little over $2,000. Now if he'd paid $20,000 it'd be a different story to me. I'm glad at least one truck made it to the forum.

If I had deep pockets, which I don't, I still do not think that I'd pay what a lot of the vehicles went for. A lot of the used cars did go for fair prices. It seems to me that the low mileage (2nd year models) and the few garage kept cars went for big bucks. There were tons of cars cut out of trees and lifted out of holes they had been sunk into after 60 years that did go for reasonable prices.

I bought a hole bunch of them in my dreams.....maybe that's why the bids were so high, I kept bidding and bidding then the dream ended!

[1963c-10]

Heres what I got for pics from a 67-72 member of all the 60-66 trucks I could get pics of.

[TJ's Chevy]

Here's a link to a great sneak peak of the cars....

Nice truck, but from what I've seen, I think your camper is better preserved.
I'd much rather have your camper... for a variety of reasons.
