I had a friend in high school that had sequential Cords in his garage. We used them to set the pattern on our paint guns. I bet they are worth millions today. My friends dad was a commercial photographer and commercial deep sea Diver. Big mansion with a heated garage with above carriage house. There had to be space for 20 cars.

A Duesie J is a nice find indeed, especially if it’s in any kind of decent condition.

Good timing

Used pile of crap cars are going for more than gold right now. Historic high prices and mileage counters off the charts, its ahrd to find ANY used car with under 200k miles (thanks to inflation hysteria and "new normal" new car marketing strategy)

I’m always interested in who hid the car and why? And why he didn’t come back for it? There has to be some info that a good reporter could did up from old records and/or paperwork in the car or garage.

I sold a car once that was used in a robbery later by the buyer and the cops came to my house because the car was left by the side of the road and they traced the VIN number to me as the ‘owner’. The criminals never registered the car...............

You’ll have to go to the site to see the vehicle...............

THAT is why you ALWAYS file the Release Of Liability when you part with a vehicle. It’s the one document you control that protects you from whatever your ‘buyer’ might do next.

Yup.

That’s what saved me from a tow bill when a rig I sold was abandoned on I-5.

The closet things to such my grandchildren are going to find in our barn is an old horse saddle and a 50cc motorbike. A friend of my son needed cash his senior year of high-school (no father and alcoholic mother)to pay for graduation items so sold it to my husband for a pittance. We would have just given him the money, but he insisted on hubby taking the bike. We figured he would come back for it later but he never did. That’s been over twenty years ago. He and his wife visited us a couple of months ago (they are now solidly middle class), and he was surprised to learn we still had it.
