He Ran a Used Car Lot for DECADES, but stashed 8 special ones in a barn: Fuz's Nebraska Collection! 

We'll never see another one

I was just going to post the same thing.

Also the front turn signals and the painted metal bar along the front grill. I have never seen any documentation about a 63 1/2. Dont remember a strike between 63 - 64.

@@johncocktoasten9228 that is because there is no such thing as a 63 1/2 Cadillac. The 64 has a pointier hood, grille, bumper and front fenders.

I missed that but believe you are right.

It’s hard to see into the future but maybe he couldn’t sell some of these and just hung on to them - mixed bag for sure

The shoebox ford was a good buy

Maybe he had a bidder on it

The Corvair was a good one

One lucky buyer!

I think the 260 was gone by this time. The 289 came into use by 65.

@@IEchuckie- It’s a 64 the 260 was the base V8 in them same as Ford Falcon they went down the same assembly line in Kansas City. The 289 came in in 64 and a half as an option.

@@IEchuckie nope, as the poster before me stated, the 260 was base V8 in 64. I decoded my VIN and that's what my car had when it left the Ford/Mercury factory in LA! Mine also had the 3 on the tree but I converted into a 5sp although I removed the column shifter because it looked silly to me to have two shifters...

@@donaldpiper9763also in LA like mine. My car was sold new in Oregon so I suspect cars assembled in Cali were mostly for West Coast consumption.

A lady I know has a 63 Comet and indicated the same sentiment to me. Many odd parts and different from the Fords so parts chasing can be challenging

Yep!

Double yep.

Triple yep.

Correct.

It was repaired with '64 parts.

They're not really worse giving a full restoration they're very common for pre-war car The fact that I could find a shed full of parts now says how common they were

It is a '63 Caddy with a '64 front clip. I guess it must have been involved in a collision at some point.

Correct. And the 64 had tail light housings that came to a point unlike this caddy which are vertical.

Here we have a 1963 Cadillac which has likely been repaired with 1964 parts on the front. One can tell from the rear that its a 1963, as '63 had different taillights and bumper.

This one was definitely worked over in the past - there's been at least couple coats added over the years, over crusty edges and lumpy panels. At best it's a beater. It sold for around $3k on the auction. The tan car brought $8k a year ago, which was a smoking deal. It had a pristine, fresh restoration. I'm not sure where it ended up. The market is pretty soft for these cars - you can get a really good one for a very reasonable buy-in. They are constantly coming to market, so you can be choosy. Decide what you want - an early car, later car, open body style, or closed. Your best bet will be to get on Facebook and join the Model T Classifieds page, and the Model T Cars and Parts for Sale page. You can probably find something real decent reasonably close to your area of the country for under $10k

Whoa I missed that. Possibly the front clip was swapped? I thought it strange that the auctioneer called it a 63, but it makes sense. Thanks for pointing this out John!

It was probably hit when it was just a cheap used car and down to the front end that happened to be at a junkyard

That was something I didn't notice immediately. Hope the bidders were informed. Wonder if the auctioneer knew about it.

The Corvair is a good investment!

There have been quite a few coming to market from estates. They have a unique endearing charm to them, which has me increasingly looking out for them in the last couple years

Model T’s are Fords not Chevy’s .Lol

Maybe all for the better!@@donaldpiper9763

I haven't run across any, yet. However if you are on Facebook, there is a page called "1920s antique automobiles, 1900 to 1941 cars, orphan makes, motorcycles". You might be able to turn up some leads there

Wow ok thanks

The word definitely got out to the right people, they had a good crowd

Nice!

Except for the last two

One of the cars which I liked

It still had a long way to go from driving 100 feet in and out of the shed, to seeing the road. The mechanic had it on the lift, and inspected it - every inch of the underside of body and frame were rust free.

Somewhat less for the Caddy. See other comments about its front clip.

I was slow to notice that. Maybe the auctioneer wasn't aware of it either. I sure hope the buyer was informed before bidding!

Thanks again for stopping by the channel David!

This one got shared around a bunch on Facebook. Most of the promotion of them happens on the internet and social media

What do you mean?
