It was a sad day today. Huge car auction 45 miles from here. Around 900cars. Pretty much a $350 minimum on everything because of scrap metal prices. The bad news is over half of the cars they sold today will be crushed. If you were there you could have picked up just about any old truck for 350 bucks. And cabs, just cabs were selling for 10-60 bucks. Several 52ish chevy cabs went to the crusher because guys wouldn't pay 10 bucks for them.
Part of the reason is that area of the state still has alot of old farm trucks around. But if scrap prices stay up there won't be many around for long. There were people from all over the country there. The big day is tomarrow, cars with titles, and lots of complete collectable cars, most are unrestored, but all there.
I got to meet the DVAP guys, except for Brian who was left at home to hold down the fort. They bought several cars today.
I bought a bunch of stuff, I'll give you guys a full report when I sort through it. I am going back tomarrow, I'll let you know how it turns out.

2-300 bidders there, and still stuff was going to the crushers. I am guessing guys just don't have the space to keep it. ( I did my part). Anyway, pictures tomarrow.
