THESE SALES are GRAND FUN with a crazy good selection and variety of everything! Let’s begin with the cars and such– following information was provided by the homeowner:
- Blue 1989 Mercedes 560SL: Odometer 125,465. History as I know it: 1st owner was a lady from Mission Hills who traded it in to Barron. 2nd owners bought it from Barron and I purchased it from them. I replaced anything that was an issue or could be such as all rubber mounts – they were okay, but changed them. Put new wheels and tires on her too. She has basically been stored since. She has a hard top and soft top though the soft top needs to be replaced because it is the original. Interior is in excellent condition. No cracks in dash. Only real wear is the driver’s seat, which would be expected. Has the original tool kit. **UPDATE: Have title.
- 1978 White Volkswagon 1511 Convertible. Have entire maintenance service history. 48,950 original miles. Top in excellent condition. Currently in shop getting new fuel line. It has been repainted one time, but not unusual for a car of this age. ** UPDATE: New fuel line as of 5/12/17. Title is on it’s way.
- 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible. California car with great pan. This is more of a project in motion. Odometer shows 29,771. 1500cc motor. ** UPDATE: Working on getting title. Wants to run but not there yet.
- John Deere 420 riding mower/tractor: 1989, 1484 hrs 60” deck – new spindles, blades, belt and new tires.
