The motorcycles are Bridgestone Hurricane Scramblers. According to the "Comprehensive Vintage Motorcycle Price Guide" that I recently purchased. They are worth $2000 to $3000 ea. depending on the year with the 1966 model being the most valuable and in the condition they are in. I owned one in 1969 it was a couple years old when I bought it. I road it for about a year then sold it. It served me well. They are a road bike with high exhaust pipes and a brace on the handle bars. They were on'y made for 3 years. The engine is a 177 cc rotary valve two stroke twin. It performed really well for what it is.
Speaking of nostalgic old items......at the end of the video, you showed the old-style Coleman ice chest. In 1978 and '79, I worked part-time in the Coleman plant at 2nd and St. Francis Street in downtown Wichita. I ran a riveting machine that mounted the handle and the two hinges on the back of the lid. Later, I was promoted (?) to a giant oven that I sprayed a liquid foam insulation, popped the plastic inner liner, then put on the conveyor to cook the spray foam insulation inside of the lid. That plant was torn down many years ago - but it was a good job.....I still have good memories of the place.
It's so cool to see the back story on the Renault 10 and it being delivered to the Robot Cantina Shop! We will have the car back on the road in a few more weeks. Of course we will replacing the damaged engine with something more interesting.
A lot of people there for a little podunk town in the middle of Kansas..lol. Good to see you at the Texas auction. My video of it is up, look forward to yours!
that Lincoln reminds of the turbo diesel i have for an 85 ranger that ive been working over on my channel , its definitely a challenge , i worked for FORD for 16 years and only ever saw a lincoln diesel once , towed in with a broken timing belt.
Back in the early eighties we went out to Tumwater Wa, where my sister had I think a ‘73 Duster. We drove around in it and the body was rusted out right behind the front seats. When we went for a drive I was sitting in the back seat getting wet!😮 I think the car was kind of orange colored. And I’m 100% sure the thought never crossed my mind that we would ever look back on that car as a muscle car! It had the great leaning tower of power as well! Awesome find though! I really love the Great color of yours though! I love that color! Brings me back to my childhood! Blessings!
Bridgestone, like Bridgestone tires, Japanese. Those cycles were sold in their tire stores in the mid-sixties, made by Yamaha if my memory serves me. I remember lusting after them. I was not even old enough to drive, I was born in 1954. Those bikes showed up after the Honda invasion began. I would guess 1965, 66, and 67. Cigarettes were still 25 cents for straights, 30 cents for filters.
No. that's a Bridgestone bike in the front of that trailer. They were made in Japan. Some Wards Riverside bikes were rebadged Puch from Italy. Allstate were rebadged Puch and Gilera sold by Sears. The diesel Lincoln sounds like Ford's obsession with competing with Mercedes that began with the 1982 Granada.
Odd as it is, I have a soft spot for that Stanza. My first new car was an ‘84 XE 4-door hatchback. It was really a great little car. Our sons outgrew it, so we had to trade it in on a minivan. These cars are hardly ever seen today; they rusted so badly. Had I been able to be at this auction, I’d have definitely bidded on this guy.
Mr. B. Here ! To all the fans of Mr. Good pliers ; what is being shown has disappeared in the northeast , if I did not have the number of I would fine any one clean it up get them road ready and drive ! As they said timing is everything ! 😊😮😊😮
Mr. Goodpliers thanks for sharing this video with it was a very interesting video about the auction about Survivor Car & Truck Collection Tucked Away in Kansas barn for Decades! Ford, Chevy, Dodge, IHC! and God Bless.
Tim grab all 3 of those Bridgestone bikes you can thank-me later. I know who made them and you will be surprise when you find out. They are probably hard to find motor pistons for.
I once bought a mint 1969 350 GTR, 3 spare engines and thousands of small spare parts from a UAL Capt in Mill Valley, CA. Rode the bike home. My wife and I loaded all the parts into our 1966 Ford Custom and we drove away. $1500 in about 1990. I remember distinctly he was asking $2000. He didn’t know what he had and didn’t care - got it from some other pilot he knew. FF 8 years and we were moving around and it was too hard to keep moving all this stuff and store it (along other other bikes). Sold it all for $2500 via Bridgestone Owners Club website in 1999. Huge mistake. Turns out I didn’t know what I had. The Bridgestone 350 GTR is the one bike Leno has said publicly “if anyone has one let me know”.
8:11 Lincoln Mark VII. It's a Foxbody vehicle. The powertrain is identical to a 5.0 Mustang from the same years . The air suspension is always shot on these, but you can replace the air struts and shocks with T-Bird ones (standard-not air ride) from the same years 😉 EDIT: the BMW turbodiesel is a rare find!
The 1951 Ford and Chevrolet were really cool. I also liked the 1955 Dodge. The Renault and Audi were garbage when they were new. The 1984 was something that I haven’t seen in a long time.
@@ernielaw The Renault is a very close second. My father bought one these lemons to use as a second car. My parents never had much money and a second car was essential to keep my brothers and I in our school district during a temporary move. It was absolutely awful. It broke down all the time and was difficult to get parts for. In all fairness the car was several years old and had been involved in an accident during the winter months. It lasted just a few months before it totally gave up the ghost. My father said that one of the happiest days of his life was when that fittingly yellow Renault got towed to the junk yard.
A long time ago I rode in a white 1972 Renault 10, which was 2 years old at the time. Therefore it would be three years newer than the one shown here. They are rare now because most have been scrapped.
17:26 looks like a '53 Ford Tudor. I don't think it's a business coupe. Last year of the flathead. EDIT: it was a '51. Someone got it for a steal. There's no way it's worth less than a Chevy Deluxe sedan from the same time period 😢
Iam not sure but gm may have the 153 four cylinder engine that was available in the little nova station wagon in 63! They also list that engine in the c10 trucks! But not sure if gm ever actually installed the 153 in pickup trucks? I think the smallest engine was the 230 6 cylinder!
This video showed up as recommended, I subbed, now, I'm interested in restoring the 67 or the 69, pick ups . Are you selling them???also, I fell in love with that Lincoln with the suicide doors ....retro gangster, lol
Sears and Montgomery wars sold this bikes the parts are impossible to find . The IH was the Best Buy they are dependable as hell . No air conditioningandride like hell but that truck is valuable. The repair cost and paint and parts are outrageous the government local can tax you . The Cadillac needs a special mechanic that restores those .Renault was a steal .
The Renault 10 is a very rare car in Europe. In this condition, this vehicle could be sold for 3,000 euros or more. Such survivors have become very rare. I think there would have been a European buyer who would have brought this vehicle back to Europe. The Lincoln's diesel engine is a BMW M21 2.4-liter turbodiesel six-cylinder with 115 HP. These engines were very economical and had good torque and often lasted more than 350,000 miles. Since the American engine industry at that time did not have any long-lasting diesel engines with low consumption and good performance in its range, purchasing BMW technology was a good choice. The BMW six-cylinder diesel vehicles from that time are now very sought after in the classic scene in Germany.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Yes, I already watched the channel. I didn't know that this Renault model was sold in the USA. Unlike Volkswagen, Renault was not as successful in the USA. It's also a wonder that this car still exists, when these vehicles were produced they used very poor steel. The sheets were made from steel with a high copper content.
You got a steal at $250 for the Renault 10, I paid £100 or 150-quid (£'s) for a metallic blue Renault 10 around 1978 in Bournemouth (Southern England) and ran it for 2 or 3 Yrs; had to change out the big end bearing caps as quick cheat to help the little 4-pot keep on motoring. What're plans for the wee car?
You are right to a certain extent. It was in the early 1950s that cars started having their years written on the taillights, when they were switching from glass to plastic lenses. If the taillights were used for 1 year it would always say the correct year. If the taillights were used for more than one year It would say the first year which they were produced. The auto makers never did stop writing years on taillights. On more recent cars you will also find years written on plastic headlight lenses. Sometimes the years on the front will be different from the rear depending on which year the lenses first appeared.
I wonder if the original owner wouldn't have made out better to sell all these vehicles 10 or 15 years ago instead of storing them in the shed. The dollar values would have to converted to 2023 dollars and etc.
Red 69 F100, was that fuel tank fill necks in the bed right behind the cab? Noticed on the 54 Chevy a sticker on passenger side of the front windshield what was it? Cool auction.
@@dankreoger611 Ford moved the tank in the F100's in 1973, but the F250 kept it in the cab until 1977. It took a government regulation to get Ford to use common sense in their vehicle design 🙄
@@ernielaw They haven't really gained a lot of popularity. I know they made them for 5 or 6 years, 65/66 to 71. Sold them through the Tire Dealerships. Honda Scramblers of the same years sell for 5-10 times as much easily
