Mr. Goodpliers shows the auction action of trade in cars and trucks sold in South Dakota! Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth, Ford, Rambler, and more!
That Ranch Wagon was a steal! There must have not been a close Salvage dealer. Around here at most auctions have a scrapper put a minimum bid on all cars and equipment. There was some meat left on the bones for someone who lived close to the sale. Thanks for taking us along!
Coming from A BOPC family, I saw lots of familiar cars. Pop had a ‘58 white 98, right next to a ‘52 Hudson, the car that brought me home from the hospital. I’ve had a ‘65 Delta, ‘62 Super 88, ‘61 Scenicoupe, ‘61 98. 3 1950 88’s, ‘53 98, ‘57 Super 88. Lots of memories of some great cars. Some real deals at this auction. Some of those cars were worth buying just for the bright work
I can’t believe most of them cars sold for less than scrap price … not that i would scrap them . Well i’m in Canada , old cars sell for lot more i guess , nice job on the video ❤
Some stuff went cheap! Thought Rambler cop car would go higher. The. DeSoto went for $1200. Too bad so many windshield were smashed with an actual hole in them! Hudson seemed good at $275. Who knows what floors weee like on all of these! Of course the gas pumps were not cheap except the round one! Thanks for posting!
52 hudson could have brought more, perhaps the 59 merc was the ugliest, that rambler was cool . Reading your advert for the cop special, it reminded me of the Blues Bros mobile, all that cop brakes, cop suspension and stuff Akroyd spoke so elequently of.
As a Swede, these prices are ridiculously low. Someone could have made an incredible amount of money by buying up many of these and shipping them here. We love 4-door cars over here.
Looks like there was some seriously good deals at this auction. Lots of the cars were no title though and it would be a pain to try and register them for driving.
Lots of these are four doors. Not popular in the US. You would never come close to getting your investment back if you restored one. Most will end up being parts cars.
This place is really out in the sticks. It costs a lot to move cars, and the prices reflect the high costs to transport the crusher or the trips to the mill. These were almost all crushing material.
I agree with the last part of your statement! This auctioneer is terrible. He sounds like this is his first time calling, AND, he obviously has no idea what the old interwebs is and how it works? Real time bidding across the internet is something that is unpredictable for both parties. Why he felt the online bidders were to slow or not even there is nuts. If you noticed, after the first couple of cars, the online bidders got much lower or no longer even tried. This is because his connection was probably wireless through a cell provider and since this location was fairly remote, the latency (delay) was probably high but it can happen to any user in any location as the internet is unpredictable everywhere. Combine this with his impatience and just jumping very quickly after every sale to the next car, it would be hard for anyone trying to follow the auction on a computer. This man probably caused the auction host to lose a large amount of money. Remember whenever you are watching live streaming audio and/or video, the images you are seeing happened half or even a few seconds before you actually do. When the viewer has to watch the auctioneer, use a keyboard to put the bid numbers in, hit the enter key and then wait for it to update on the auctioneers screen and, he has to see it and add it to the current bidding. By the time everything updates, he is moving on to the next car and the online bidder is pissed off because they bid $100 higher than the last bid they heard him say and the auction is over for that car and no idea whats going on. The moral of the story? If you don't know what you are doing? DON'T DO IT! Lol
What? Those Tornados sold for less than $3000 a piece! I'm really surprised. I didn't think they'd sell for $20 grand, but $2500. Some one got a real good deal. They should've been sold at an auction like Mecum. It sounds like they were just liquidating their inventory. Hmmm
@ 58:12 those two cars are badass 4 doors or not they are still badass. If I owned them all I would do get-um running clean-um up leave the patina look & leave-um stock... Man I just love the way they look setting on that trailer. That man got two "GEM'S" there. Coal turns to Diamond's under a lotttttt of pressure.....I SEE DIAMONDS THERE my friend...
They went slower in order not to miss the last internet bids. Pretty amazing actually, to be able to pull off something like this in the middle of nowhere
Some pretty good deals. Problem w/cars like those is even if they load them on your trailer you still have to drag them off and do it where they're not in the way. Most people don't have the means or room to do it.
The auctioneer didn't seem that good at being able to identify the years of the cars, though he still recognized most cars. I was surprised he mistook a 1954 DeSoto for being a 1947 model.
Hi tim the red gas pumps brought good money the lubsters for 100 are cheap to here an some of those cars are a steal to other sales iv seen an the old gas trucks would look great if you had a old gas station at home . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Glad to see that the bidders kept the prices realistic. I've avoided auctions (both dealer and public) for the last 20 years because they always seemed to be filled with gamblers or the ignorant, who would drive the prices to insane levels (And then a week later you'd see them trying to sell their over-priced on Craigslist, still on the trailer, to try and recoup their money- The automotive equivalent of sobering-up). The seller, on the other hand, likely would've been better off just scrapping them all, after what they're gonna pay in auction fees and all- but thankfully they didn't go that route. Nearly broke my heart years ago when the landlord whom I rented a storage yard from sent about 50 cars from the 50's that belonged to a delinquent tenant to the crusher.... (Then again, their owner was just letting them sit there and rot anyway- would always refuse to sell anything)
You what i think Mr Goodpliers ----i bet the dealer paid more for some of these jewels as trade - ins than they sold for at this auction. Incredible prices, small tune out i guess ------ nothing like this in Oregon --- but where's Joe & the Rust Ranch? ---- Thanks oldschool .
Shame! Calling that poor little Ambassador the ugliest car there with so many 58 model GM cars present. Even the designers were ashamed of them. Good video as always. Thanks!
@@debbiebermudez5890 smashed windows have turned these into parts cars, if they’d not been vandalised they would have stood a better chance of being saved but once the glass is smashed then the interior and floors soon start to rot out.
@@CycolacFan Mr. B. Here ! I have two 1976 Olds Cutlass S coupe one I got new and the 2nd used ; 1st one took it toll on it , the Mrs. , I show her the 2nd one and we got , my 1st one is now living on as the parts car for 2nd car ! FYI you can not fine good parts cars for this year Cutlass S, the fast back !
5:34...was it that '58 Oldsmobile in the background that sold for $200, or the '59 Olds Flat top with the left quarter missing in the foreground that sold for that much?...
I saw a “Stobb’s” dealer label on the back of the Toronado…is this in Miller, SD? The auctioneer actually said the 1963 Rambler was an old Miller police car. I remember this dealer from back in the 1970’s. It was very small; a one car showroom!
I didn't know Oldsmobile made a Dynamite. Pretty sure the auctioneer isn't a car person. Sad thing is, most of the relatively complete cars will be Derby bound . Sad
The buyer of the '60 Pontiac Vista should feel guilty. The grille is worth more than what he paid for the car! Very reasonable prices on all. Some real deals, some steals. What fun!
Most of these were parked there for parts. This dealer was out in the middle of South Dakota. Most people out there just parked the cars out next to the barn when they didn’t run anymore. Made good shelter in the winter for the barn cats, chickens or wildlife.
Depends on the state laws. In Maine vehicles older than 20 years the state will not give you a new title for it. You can legally sell it with a transferable registration.
That's how it has to be for an online sale. You have to let it hang a bit to make sure all the internet bids are in. Pretty amazing really with modern tech - I don't think it would have been possible to do something like this in a rural area like this 10-15 years ago
not one of those cars would have sold here under 1200 dollars that packard would have sold for 3000 easy. people want 2500 for cars out of the bush. crazy
This one was advertised on Facebook. I click on every one even if it's far away - that way, the algorithm knows I am interested and keeps showing them. You just never know what will pop up
Keep in mind many of these vehicles are good parts cars, 1958 Oldsmobile $200 , I have a 58 two door it has taken years to fine OEM parts $200 grate deal !
The 1963 model year marked a big change for the Rambler. Maybe the police department turned it into an ugly car. Aside from that I really like American Motors cars.
Yes. Unfortunately this was at the height of $5/gallon gas prices, and diesel was even more - a bit demotivating to drive a huge distance to pick them up. A friend of mine who bought a few out of state said it added several hundred to the cost of each car
