mcspool Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Lots 19 to 22 will be of interest. I wonder what he will be left with - a Jeep perhaps? Went to see the lots today. The three Dodges and the GMC look like nicely restored vehicles. Can't say anything about their mechanical condition, although it seems they were not used since being restored. Not sure about the guide prices, as I think the outcome will depend heavily on how much of a premium buyers will want to pay for an ex-Prince Rainier III vehicle. And yes, a Ford GPW will remain in the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcspool Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Results, live from the auction: 19: 45.000 20: 20.000 21: 13.500 22: 18.000 In Euros, plus 21% fees, plus taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The GMC CCKW 353 was probably an early closed cab one with a replacement open cab. Seems expensive with 13.500€ even if it was restored. Now every one with a GMC CCKW 353/352 for sale will want 13.500€/PLUS for theirs, regardless if they're complete and/or restored.....

mcspool Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Goran, You could very well be right; it looks like a "plain Jane" 353 to me. Bodywork is nice, but not perfect. Mechanicals, who knows? Vehicles don't like standing still. Like I said earlier, it is clear people are willing to pay a premium for a vehicle which was owned by someone "famous". Auctioning vehicles in a town which hosts extremely wheathly people - never seen so many super cars in one place - helps to prop up the prices as well. In this case probably 100% on top of the fair market value. There were a few regular HMV collectors present, but they were not impressed by "rare", "6 driven wheels!", or other (non)qualifications given by the auctioneer, and bid up untill roughly half the hammer price. For me it was fun to visit the auction as I was on holidays close to it.
