Mr. Goodpliers checks out the rows of vehicles, parts, tools, and more at the shop auction for a retired mechanic! Chevrolet, Ford, Oldsmobile, Allis, Oliver, and more! For any inquiries, please email mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com
They are considerably rare in my area. I just don't think many were sold in the first place and that translates into fewer interested buyers around here. This one was reasonably well kept, and with the rebuilt parts, sold WAY undervalued. If someone was paying attention, had a way to haul it, and knew a strategic location to remarket it, they could have done VERY well on it.
I'm really surprised the Chevelle wasn't bid up to close to 20k or more. These cars really took off in price & that one being so far along 4 w disc & the motor sounded great. crazy.
I learned how to drive on an Oliver Row Crop 77 with 17 forward gears 12 reverse gears on a split non-synchronized transmission. Starting at 7 years old i would drive it, 1 mph as my Dad & a helper picked up hay bales & stacked them on a trailer. Ty for taking us along
I have been to 1000s of auctions both professionally and personally. I can say I have never seen things go that low or so many No Sales on such nice stuff. Its tobad I did not live nearby because that 3K truck would be hauling that 6500 motorcycle and pulling a trailer with that chevelle all the way home with a smile on my face
People sure were talking loud. Most auctioneers would tell them to be quiet. I sold a similar condition 68 barracuda convertible like the chevelle for 8k had 10k in it. People just don’t want to pay enough for a project car. Gotta try to finish them to get the money. I knew some airplane builders who liked the aluminum v8 engines. Great auction. Hats off to the old timer mechanics.
Yeah that Oldsmobile that's nice is and I love the square body pickups and the newer pickups ain't as good as a square bodies are THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Another darn good post Tim , Thank you The Pittie at around the 25 minute mark must be a Mopar dog. It would be interesting to see how Dalton would handle that Olds you bought.
I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PEOPLE COME TO A AUCTION AND STAND IN THE WAY WHEN THEY HAVE ZERO DESIRE TO BID,YET THEY WILL HOLD UP PROGRESS OF THE SALE,WHY IS THIS???
Great Cutlass buy,,,...dude,,,I have never seen that year,,,had 73-77 cutlass,,supreme,,salon,,,......cool,,wow,.......tnx for epic vid,....pat&family,,,land o' lakes,wi.
Great buy I'd say for the Allis Chalmers rubber tire wheel loader,Year unknown,She needs some fenders easily made out of steel & a Air ride seat conversion.
At one time I had a pair of square bodies in that green and white 2 tone. A Suburban and a 1/2 ton pu. The pu got sold and the Suburban was our tow vehicle for race cars and horse trailers until 1997 when we bought a light duty 2500 Ram Van which I still have with just over 100k miles.
An auction is not retail prices it is meant to be a quick sale below wholesale prices. Most of the public watching does not realize you need to include the buyer's premium and taxes when figuring the total of an item. Take the Honda trail bike if they sold at 1750.00 with everything included it would be over 2100.00 really not much left on the bone. I see them 2200.00 to 2800.000 at the major swap meets. People watch BJ and Meecum and think all cars sell for those prices. The Big Block Chevelle without knowing the block casting numbers and it being an automatic. It should still sell 10000.00-12000.00 again you still need to add buyer's premium and taxes to the average person. The guy selling had some expectations and now can deal with the frustrations of selling privately.
@@hawk-du1yl While this type of auction, the local people only show up, an item generally does good to sell at junk prices. However, there are auction sites where people will pay nearly, or in some cases, above retail because they have a thought process that tells them it is an auction, and it must be a bargain. One guy bids $500.00 and the next guy says "if somebody is willing to give $500.00, then I'll bid $525.00." Another thing about local auctions is most of the people know each other and will allow his friend to buy an item out of courtesy. Talking about the Chevelle, knowing who built it should explain the quality of the build, being an automatic has no bearing on the build. The guy should have provided receipts for expenses.
I put things in auctions all the time. As an owner I would never want to stand there and watch my stuff sell. Be to aggravating. You get what you get. That's the risk of the auctions
I'm always down for an auction tour with you, Mr. G. Curious about the wage levels that these auctioneers are getting. Having a good one (as this guy appears to be) must surely increase the day's bottom line.
Most get 30%. I think that's a pretty high number. This particular auctioneer is lower than that, but he works primarily in real estate, across Kansas and beyond. So he doesn't schedule a lot of auctions.
Unbelievable no sale on the Chevelle and the F-150. Put those on Marketplace. Maybe fix the Chevelle up and sell for big money. That was scrap price on the Oliver tractor☹️
Seeing a four speed in that Cutlass makes me wonder if it was the 215/215 horsepower turbocharged Jetfire V-8. A buddy had one intact @1971, most people had removed the turbocharger by then, as they required methanol to run and were hard to keep running properly. If so, that’s a rare car, especially if you can find the TC parts in the trunk
That was a great price on the Nova.A 70 Nova around where I live would probably be $5k in that condition.Most people are going to make a muscle car out of it.
Incredible sale but life has value that trail 70 was worth the value for nostalgia the signs are crazy they last but a museum maybe . Nice shop but the price of everything even parts and repairs are crazy . That Honda is a keeper and restoration is outrageous the guy selling the items can’t make it . Speed shops and inflation is bad business insurance and property taxes . The camper was a steel .
I would think that ISO-VIS sign stands for the International Standards Organization which had a different name but was formed in 1926 while the VIS stands for Viscosity. Just venturing a guess.
That's a great sounding mean white 402 car in primer. $£¢K invested & possibly half done. Put some remand heavy chevy decals on the thing & nobody would know the difference. & Much more unique than the super generic granny §§ car.
He should have reached out to young people to advertise everything for him. People should have donated time to him and maybe set up festivities as a community draw. Smiles help people spend money.
Is this storytime or is this an auction? Is it common practice for the owner to follow the auctioneer around in the midwest? I've been to plenty of auctions and I can't remember the owner following along yapping about every item. It really slows things down, IMHO.
Not everyone previews a sale and learns about the items beforehand. So in the case of this sale I thought it helped the buyers know what they were getting. Eddie is one of the most honest people I know. Lots in the crowd considered him a friend, not just a trading partner. He mentored & encouraged me to make the parts business my career. I was gladly to hear him tell about the items
Just sell the shit. It's an auction😂dude acquired most of that shit from customers not paying for repairs or bartering. That's what small shop mechanics do
A body shop in Halstead Kansas bought it with plans to restore. I'd guess they would put a correct aftermarket front clip on it. Are you local to Kansas?
