Epic time-capsule survivor car auction

Literally brand new cars from the 50s-60s with less than 20 miles that haven't been touched in years. Unbelievable. They have over 50 brand new cars and hundreds of used ones up for auction. That Chevy Cameo has only 1 mile on it! If I had the money I would totally get that Corvette. Truly a car collectors wet dream right here.

Will need to have all those dried out rubber parts replaced. May not run properly without a lot of work. Would rather buy one that's been ran 1000km a year


but yes, awesome

That woman needs a newer cell phone.

If nothing else, a testament to Nebraska being perpetually stuck in the past. Hopefully it will be a windfall to the state and make an impact compared to their agriculture business. Not holding my breath, though.

Couldn't care less about the actual cars, because I am all about performance, and classic cars are severely lacking in that department.

Yeah, not exactly the best of storage spots. Many of those look horribly rusty and I can't imagine what the undercarriage looks like on those from the field. A lot look like they'll still need full restoration, 0 miles or not, and it wouldn't surprise me if some are too rusty to be repaired.

That dent on that pickup's roof is significant for a "new" truck.
