So I drove out to the other house yesterday and did my part to reduce the wild animal/auto collisions (150g @ 2800fps) and then I drove over to another town have dinner with a lady friend. During dinner she tells me that she has bought a building from the town (tax sale) to put in a coin op carwash. The building next door is leaning over (I gather the foundation is done) and she inquires what the town is doing with this leaning building. They tell her that they are getting someone to tear it down and if she wants anything from the building to take it. So one day she goes looking inside.
The building was a Ford dealership (and they sold tractors) from the 30's until the early 70's until the owner died and his widow never ran the business afterwards. She passed about 20 yrs ago and the building was sold to some guy who owned it until he never payed the property taxes and then the town assumed ownership (they have owned it for 10 yrs or more). While looking thru the building she discovers a third floor storage area and inside is a bunch of parts. Some still wrapped in the paper they came from the factory with parts number tags on them. There is a bunch of glass. One piece she says has a strap type hinge attached (fold down glass?). There are a bunch of torpedo headlights (30's vintage?) and a whole bunch of other stuff she has no idea what it is. I'm going back out there again (to reduce the animal/auto collisions further) and have dinner again with her. Sunday were going to go thru the building and I'll be able to take a look and pictures of what's there. Where should I look online to see what this stuff is worth? Is there a early Ford board like this one, where I can post pictures to see if there is any interest in these parts? She would like to sell the parts and give the money to the towns pool fund (their raising money for a swimming pool). Note* Before anyone posts a "this thread is worthless without pictures" I wasn't prepared to go climbing thru a old building when it was -27 outside without the proper clothing/footwear in the dark at 9pm last night. |
