Ok guys, it wasn't what I was expecting, but the car had original paint, very nice tan interior, new tires, pretty nice overall. It was locked up so no one could get in and look at the motor. The air box was on the passenger floor so I was telling people the motor was apart on the top end. Bunch of people who looked and sounded like they wouldn't take care of the car or would mod it out. We tried very hard to get it, but some kid bought it for $3300. He was shaking and just kept his paddle up. The car was sold in about 15-20 seconds after it started for $800 or so.
Oh and by the way, it was a 32k original mile Canyon Red 86 GT
I was pretty sad that we didn't get it, pretty much just wanted to leave the auction since I had been standing around for about 3-4 hours anxiously waiting. I kind of felt like if my car got towed and sold off without me knowing until the last minute and I couldn't do anything about it. It was a car that I would have cleaned up and sold no problem since it was a solid roof car. I left a note with the fep address on the car, hopefully he checks it out and see's what he really has.
The Caprice was not a CHP, but a dark blue, grey interior 9c1. It was rough for a complete car, needed paint, rare body mouldings, complete interior, ect. Didn't catch what it went for since I was over checking out the Mustang. The people who looked interested in the Mustang really were interested in the Caprice and bought it. They were the type that would customize/lowride the car
There was one Charger, a 09 IIRC. It had been sitting for some time, miscellaneous parts taken off, multiple flat tires, and no visible damage. Thorough looking over and we came to the conclusion that it had undercarriage damage, thus the oil pan was crushed and all the oil had drained out. Officer probably didn't know and kept driving then the motor went out. I had written
bad motor on the windshield just because(we knew it would go for some coin), then when it came to sell some hot shot "I'm better than you" kind of guy thought it had a new motor and called the car junk. I kept myself from telling the guy to buy it and find out for himself. It went for around $3300.
There were two CHP dodge trucks too. One a older late 90s with a bad trans, and a newer Hemi that had been hit in an intersection pushing the front end over about a foot.
A lot of the Crown Vics(all CHP, about 70 of them) went for around 1k-3500.
We were lucky and grabbed the last one for $2100, a 2009 Crown Vic in the Dead Row. Turns out that there was nothing wrong with the car and it had a clean title. A couple other CVs were the same way. I think the running lot was filled so they stuffed some in the non running. Most of the totaled not runners still went for the price that could get a runner for. Back in 2003 (the last time my dad went) there was only a crowd of maybe 50 people and cars were being sold for 25 dollars out in the non running. Today there was 500 or more and I've already told of the prices.
The mustang was gone when we paid for the 09. I was kind of glad I didn't have to look at it anymore. They might have driven it away with a clean title. Did get to take a ride in the 09 though, which brightened my day a little. Can't wait to get working on it in the next couple weeks when it gets shipped up to Oregon.
I wish I could upload the many pictures I took, but this Ramada Inn wifi is fail.
Here's the Charger at least
EDIT: The mustang pic loaded
