The more I watch the more I realize that this collection is really every Pontiac guys wet dream! Unbeliabable coolection. At least the Beauties got fair prices.
Great Auction, thanks for bringing us along, a lot of great cars, That Vanderbrink group is doing a big Chevy Auction outside Spokane Wasshington later in the month also
Can't believe how cheap those parts/ project cars went. I have a 73 luxury lemans with 76,000 miles. Owned it for 25 years now true little old lady car. Not a high powered GTO but it's a great cruiser and a fun car. I live 15 miles from the dealership where it sold new and the salesman is still working there. Would love to have one of those 73 coupes to go with it. I was amazed how many were there . I haven't seen a single one in my area in a decade or more not even in the junkyards. Always enjoy your videos and looking forward to the next one. Thanks 👍
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. Some vehicles price was on the money, you could restore for the dollars paid ! Even the low dollar cars were well paid for ! Grate video ! 👍👍👍
1979 i bought a 1965 GTO 389 4 speed for 1000 bucks, It was used as a drag car for the first 2 years of life in 1965. I was 20 years old and had the time of my life in that car! Could get rubber in all 4 gears!
Them two lemans had 73 gto hoods on them can't believe they went for 200 could take the hoods off and scraped them for the money back.hoods got to be worth $500 each
Back in 1991 I bought a 1969 Custom S 350 w/auto trans. Black vinyl top and black interior with silver paint and all the trim and even the rubber nose cone gasket. All there. Great car but had to let it go a couple years later. Miss that beauty of a car. Just found the spare set of keys for it a few days ago.
Glad to see not all Tempests and Lemans were converted to GTO’s, but suspect some of these might be yet as you could probably double your money. Long live Pontiac!!!!!
Amazing: The 1974 Luxury Lemans sold cheap. I think scrap price would be higher. I am sure there is a lot of parts that can bring the money back very easily. If it cannot be restored as a beater for a young guy.
I'm surprised by the relatively low prices of the non-goats. Given the choice I'd have taken the 421 Catalina home, it did not look that bad and I can do bodywork.😏
@@tturtle1659 Go to Ca., Az., Ut, I can get cars WAY cheaper there and with zero rust. I'm in NY and people pay through the nose for unholy steel. I bought a gaggle of 55 F-100s for 1k and 67-74 Novas for close to the same. Back East that was a 30k dollar load. I pay double what scrap does out there and people call me on a bounty system for finder fees.
The ‘64 Pontiac that sold for $8750 isn’t a Grand Prix. The roof is wrong and it’s looks like a long wheelbase car. It’s probably a Star Chief. Plus, where the taillights are on this car is where the backup lights are on a ‘64 GP.
its sad when the auctioneer at 39:13 said no to that guy offer at $925.00 but yet sold the car for $900?wtf?how sad is that?i would not want her being at my auction!!she should know better,its all about the money!!!
On the second half of the auction the results got shamelessly low for many vehicles: Like the 61 Bonneville, the 59 Catalina, the 55 Chieftain coupe and more! There was bidder 3737 who was buying a lot but will make a lot of profit on the purchased cars for sure.
I'd take home the 69 Catalina Wagon at the end there as far as a car to restore goes, The silver GTO Mr. Goodpliers liked went for $31K was it.? .nice deal for someone
Guess you can’t save all the cars. Probably a good thing I wasn’t there to buy the bubble top. Over thirty years ago I drove a bonneville that looks wise didn’t look as good as the one you bought believe it or not. I had two of those things. It was a mistake to save them.
Selling a ram air judge but the original ram air for the car is sold separately. Shows that these folks don’t care about the hobby one bit . Just money!
A whole coral of ponies..... does the frame on pontiacs interchange with the same year chevy back in the fifties?? Seen lots of two door conversions there with those fifty five pontiacs
Seems like a lot of those last 25 cars or so were pretty good deals. It may have been the lighting, but it looked like there wasn't much rust on a lot of them. Where'd he have them stored?
Most were outdoors. In general, from Texas to North Dakota, you could draw a line down the middle and find progressively rustier cars east of the line, and progressively dry cars west of the line. The moisture in the atmosphere has a tremendous impact on body rust - indoor storage is always a help, but the climate plays a huge part, in my observation
Can't tell you how painful that was watching the '73 GTO's go so cheap. $250??? I would gladly pay that for just one rear bumper (or at least the rear bumper strip). But I have to go ahead and live too far away... oh... and in a different country (groan).
The gold or tan car had a brand new vinyl top Al had just put on. She dropped the hammer too soon because it would have been higher. I was about to bid. I felt a pang of regret not bidding on that one, but the neat story was that the guy who got it was a friend who helped set up the sale. So I felt like the universe was kind of looking out for him. He got repaid for his friendship and help to Al, by getting that car for under market!
Tim: " Never Thought I'd See The day". Believe Me after nearly 60 years doing this You haven't. Anyone now or in the Future who thinks an Azteck Will be Collectible belongs in the "Happy Home".
Damn, this was a high bid circus...33k and 21k...holy crap. Well people showing with money and grabbing em, right? This one was nuts. This a rural auction or Barrett-Jackson?
Unless I'm missing something on the condition of the 55 2dr hdtp starchief, it sold way too cheap. $6k car for sure. I see a lot of comments that stuff sold too high. So many Tin Indians went to the crusher while everyone was collecting Chevelles and Impalas.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 May I ask where you find these auction listings? I'm not a buyer. More of a tire kicker. But I probably would have brought that 55 home. Dad had a 56 4dr.
I think somebody got a good deal on that bubble top. What little I could see sure looks worth more than 200 bucks. I sure hope it doesn’t get chopped up to put some common impala back on the road….. I’m not saying they’re bad cars but impala’s are like belly buttons and ass holes , everybody got one.
I bet a some of the engines and parts they are selling separate probably go to some of these cars missing drive trains. Maybe? Anyway great video as usual Tim thanks!!
Pontiac Historical Services These show options, build details, and the dealer which received delivery of the vehicle. It's similar to a Marti report for Ford vehicles.
What about that black 421 tri power Super Duty 61/63 model,, thats the car/model that beat ferrari and porsche and mercedes works cars in that big deal endurance race in America back in the day. it Won so big that Mercedes bought the 2 Pontiacs and took them back to Germany to see how they were made. Some of them complete Tempest, Le mans cars were a bargain as was a few 68 to 71 GTO,s. It costs $6000 to Bring one of these cars to Australia,, $40K to build it like new with pleanty of HP. Is it worth it. I see a dealer in Green Iowa sells beautifull 68 to 73 le mans/tempests for around $30k. but most are column auto and bench seat models with non factory sports instruments. That orange/primer Judge restored is worth $100,000 here and the convertable next to it is worth 100k restored also. Great Auction mate Steve in Australia.
People have mor money then brains sometimes. In this case spending $32,000 for a 1969 GTO Judge without a motor or transmission nor will the dual air ram be with it. Judge or no judge I would have to have Gates money to throw away on tht. Just crazy buy for crazy money. Tainted the market value to a certain degree as well.
Lol, I can find better for way less all over the midwest. The idiots bidding on this stuff are the people filling the bubble that is soon to burst. And then they'll be shit out of luck. A GT500 or a Judge are investments, a wagon? Not so much. They're cool, but just like the van scene on the East coast, the West coast rust free stuff is at a premium while it's considered junk where it comes from. I've scored so much free iron out West it's not funny, drag it back East and it's magically transformed from scrap price to 10x or more. Rare is rare, but how many wagon collectors are there vs. those that collect Boss Mustangs and Cobras? It's almost as much if a joke as the hearse/ambulance/copcar market, they're everywhere yet people go to auctions and pay 5x what they're worth.
Why is _everyone_ using the term "rims" when it comes to "wheels"? The word "rims" is no easier, or faster, to say. But I guess It makes about as much sense as saying something that's desirable is "sick". Rant over.
Oh wow, I saw a few I would have taken home! 😍
I never saw so many A body Colonnade Pontiacs in one place before and you scored one- Congrats.
So true!
A 68 Bonneville convertible for 900$ shows how underrated great fullsize cars still are.
The more I watch the more I realize that this collection is really every Pontiac guys wet dream! Unbeliabable coolection. At least the Beauties got fair prices.
What a nice bunch of cars awesome video thank you for the video
Awesome Tim thanks for sharing
Great Auction, thanks for bringing us along, a lot of great cars, That Vanderbrink group is doing a big Chevy Auction outside Spokane Wasshington later in the month also
There's a great roster of cars there. Unfortunately too far of a drive for me to make. I draw the line at towing over mountains!
Thanks for sharing.
Whew! that's a long day out there, weather looked good.🤠
Dang.!!! All those pontiacs!!!
Don't forget. They were Ponchos at one time also.

Another bargain was the 55 Station Wagon. A car with huge potential. This would be an incredible shop car.
1976 Pontiac grand Prix for $8,500 no.18 gotta bargain.greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Agreed! That was a nice car!
1979 i bought a 1965 GTO 389 4 speed for 1000 bucks, It was used as a drag car for the first 2 years of life in 1965. I was 20 years old and had the time of my life in that car! Could get rubber in all 4 gears!
32.000 for a no engine and transmission no ram air parts that needs a complete restor is nuts.
It was a running 4 speed car, she didn't say what engine was in it.
yup for sure!!!!nuts
Probably take another 50k to make it right and then it wouldn't be numbers matching.
They done lost their dam mind
They are out of their damn minds. Some people have more money than sense.
Thanks Tim
dad was pro pontiac. this is a good ticket. thanks much,
Good buy on the bubble top round here we get good money just for the top n glass... central cali😂
great car collection
Them two lemans had 73 gto hoods on them can't believe they went for 200 could take the hoods off and scraped them for the money back.hoods got to be worth $500 each
I gotta go back to building models at these prices.
Have you priced model kits lately? Lol.
Felt like I got kicked in the nutz with them prices and I ain’t even buying
Thanks so much for this video!!

$500.00 was purchase price from widow of original owner.
Strong numbers $$
Glad to see not all Tempests and Lemans were converted to GTO’s, but suspect some of these might be yet as you could probably double your money. Long live Pontiac!!!!!
The '74 GTO is a rare car to begin with, then there are the hatchback versions which make it even more rare...
Amazing: The 1974 Luxury Lemans sold cheap. I think scrap price would be higher. I am sure there is a lot of parts that can bring the money back very easily. If it cannot be restored as a beater for a young guy.
Nice video. Bidder 3737 bought many
1959 was the first year of " Wide Track" Pontiacs. Always remember Tin Indian Guys " Wide Trackin' It".
Some of those Pontiacs numbers were ridiculous!! I wish I could have pulled a few of my "project" cars over to that auction!!
Surprised some good ones went for decent prices. Also surprised anyone has money to burn on toys nowadays.
Being a retired from gm guy loving this LOL
I'm surprised by the relatively low prices of the non-goats. Given the choice I'd have taken the 421 Catalina home, it did not look that bad and I can do bodywork.😏
That is not just cars. You can buy excellent 100+ year old cast iron for relatively cheap just because it does not have a “Griswold” stamp on it.
low prices?lol.yeah right
@@yeahright302 I wrote "relatively" - this is 2023, we don't have $500 cars no more.

Didn't notice long 1/4s I thought it was a Catalina
. I thought Catalina, too!
Most makes NO, ZERO sense !! Looks like most buyers are BURIED in these buys !However the 1964 LeMans was a GREAT DEAL !!
$32k for half a Judge and $31.5k for a ratty 69 LeMans is nuts.
Ironically a lot of the later parts cars weee actually good deals.
its sad when the auctioneer at 39:13 said no to that guy offer at $925.00 but yet sold the car for $900?wtf?how sad is that?i would not want her being at my auction!!she should know better,its all about the money!!!
She didn't want people to start bidding in $25 increments. Would have slowed the whole rest of the sale down. They had a lot of ground to cover.
@@mitchburk5112 auctions are about making money!if she got $25 then the other guy would have probally paid more as well!!

Really sad to see some of the cars potentially get crushed if buyer NR 3 is a crusher as she said at 3:40
and its only 200$ that's dirt cheap
Some did get saved - check out the next video for details!

#3737 bought a lot
3:12...1961 Kawasaki Aircraft motorcycle...just 20 years prior, Kawasaki had been building Ki-61 fighter planes for the Imperial Japanese Army...
They were giving them away at the end if someone just needed an engine and transmission they were set
Check out the final video, I jumped on a couple for that reason!
Looks like you snagged a few good ones and hopefully bought bidder #3s cars to save from the crusher.
Yes I saved a few! The next video will document that.

I feel your pain. I had a 73 GTO. So regret selling it. I should have been there and bought all three 73's.
