Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Charlie - - these are AWESOME pics to an equally awesome story ! Congrats !

The mummified rodent reminds me of a 1970 Sport Satellite wagon that I bought from Texas back in '89. It was going to be a solid donor car for my '70 GTX Wagon. Anyway, as I was tearing the car apart, I was having a heckuva time getting the back seat out of the car. It just wouldn't free itself from the floorpan, even though it was free from the rearward-facing hooks. Come to find out, a rat, about the size of a cat, had gotten underneath the seat at some point, and couldn't get out. Its' remains had become one with the floorpan,the springs, and frame of the seat. Whatta mess ........

congrats on the amazing purchase, I have but one question, was it a good investment (for them)?? looking at the pic of your collection I am sure it will be a good investment for you..

I think they said they paid 2,100.00 for the red 63, 7000.00 for the silver 67, 4,000.00 for the yellow 67 and 2,200.00 for the green 63. I will ask what they paid for the 56. But you have to keep in mind that the Gentleman has Alzsheimers and if I ask again the prices could come out different. I know his investment was better than mine as I looked at a nice 59 the other day for sale and it was not much more than my 56 purchase price. They were firm on their price and maybe if common sense had prevailed I could have walked away but then I would not be able to tell this tale for years. I doubt if I will ever find a pile of cars like this again in my lifetime.

Plus the Fact that they were Only 20 miles away from Charleys House has to speak Volumes to both Seller & Buyer.
The Seller doesn't have to advertise,answer inquiriying phone calls,or God forbid,trailer them all to an Auction Somewhere.The Buyer doesn't have to Fly out of State to view them,& run up travel costs,then Trailer all them back to his Home.I would imagine both are very happy with the Final Outcome.It Makes Sense.

Boy do those prices bring back some memories of when I ran Super car's, used car lot here in Tulsa 72-86. I seldom paid more than 3 grand for any older vette unless it was something special.

I just wish I had been able to hold on to all the good ones that I sold back then. I paid just over $6,000 for both of my Motion Vettes but that was back in '73 & '74.

Inflation on all of these kind of cars, has gone way past my wildest dreams of what the future prices might bring. I remember well that I was hoping that my Motion vettes would be worth around $60 to 70 grand each someday. Boy was it a supprise what they will bring nowadays. (No they are not for sale, so don't ask)

Man some day the tax man is going to make me cry when I have to sell them before I get too old.
