Snobar Auction Preview day! (Photos)

@ec_co The Challenger had 14 miles on it, not a typo, FOURTEEN miles.

@Cuda Cody Total was a little under $700k.

I thought other than a few notable exceptions prices were very fair.  Julius made the comment that the press scared a lot of big players away and they are really regretting not coming.  I bid on some items for a notable east coast vendor and he was very happy with the items I bought for him.  Some items I ended up with:

1st Gen Viper Top for $50
Magnesium single 4 BBL Hemi intake $125
I bought the AM/FM E-Body radio and the 8 track, need them both for customer cars.
72 Road Runner grill for $100
Keith Black vintage aluminum Hemi valve covers $550
Entire drawer of adjustable rockers (probably 7-8 sets) $400
67 Satellite 2 Door $1300 (going to a customer in Sweden)

Bought a few more things (OK a lot more things) and it was a blast.  Definitely a unique experience getting the opportunity to go through a collection like this and organize it for auction.  Hope to be able to do it again in the future but not many collections like this out there.

I was right behind you and wanted to bid on the E-Body 8 track (the one with the working door) and the FM radio, but I backed off when I saw you go in on them.  I really didn't have to have them so I was fine not getting them.  The viper stuff was the bargain of the event.  I got home to find some neat NOS viper stuff in a box I bought.  Wish I would have bought more viper stuff.

Looking at the prices listed today on the auction site, I am really surprised at the low prices on the Viper items.

I was shocked that the Vipers sold for so little on Saturday. I guess it was the wrong crowd for Vipers.

[Cuda Cody]

That is the truth.  I wish I would have bought more Viper stuff as the price was right.  I just told myself not to buy anything that I wasn't going to use.  Now I'm kicking myself.  But I know who got a lot of the Viper stuff and they are good people.     @cudajunction

I find this very surprising   that puts the lot average at a little over $400 only ? With 2-3 cars alone totally over $100K there must have been a lot of $25-$50 lots

Either way, I'm super happy for the family, although Ben will be sadly missed I'm sure and no amount of money can change that

  It's surprising since there were quite afew Viper items/cars to attract that crowd.

[Cuda Cody]

The Viper cars themselves were all in very rough shape.  Totaled and put back together on a budget.  Prices for the Vipers were right in line for what the cars were.  The Viper parts were given away at bids of $25 or $50 for mostly NOS or good take off parts.

Thanks Cody for the info.

It looks like those chunks went for a good price if you don't have to rebuild them and they are not missing teeth.

I'm surprised #544 went for 700 bucks for a 18 spline tranny.

[cudajunction]

Lot 666 went for $175.

Lot 605 went for $325.

Plus fines, fees and penalties of course.

I think @Cuda Cody  got the rest of the inquiries handled. 

After the coyote duster air cleaner lids in lot #3 and #4 went for $300 a piece, we knew nothing was going to be cheap.  I believe this auction speaks to the strength of the hobby.  There is no shortage of people that feel that the "old guys" are dying off, there are not enough younger people to take up the charge and the hobby will slowly die through attrition.  I saw plenty of guys a long way off from retirement in the crowd and the robust bidding showed me that people are confident in where the car/parts prices are going.

Cody, do you have any Day 2 prices? I did advanced bidding online for 2 items and couldn't log back in during the auction day (glitches with their website) so I missed the online bidding. Curious what the two items I bid on went for....

[Cuda Cody]

@69bronzeT5  yes, I think I have a lot of the day 2 prices.  A couple times I went and got something to eat so there's a few gaps in my coverage, but let me know the lot numbers you were bidding on and I can see if I have them.     And welcome to the site buddy!!!!!
