I'm sure the brain-damaged primitive, along with hordes of other guests from northern New Jersey, is going to show up to read this thread, and the other one, soon.
So as to illuminate him, another news-story--this, from National Palesti--er, Public, Radio, a source the primitives trust--about what people who keep their jobs because they don't bad-mouth the boss and their fellow co-workers, are able to spend their money on.
Under Dust And Rust, 'New' Classic Cars Go Up For Auction
Inside the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company in tiny* Pierce, Neb., under layers of dirt, sit a dozen classic cars. A 1978 Chevrolet Indy Pace Car, black with racing stripes down the side. There's a '66 Bel Air sedan in a color called tropic turquoise, and a 1964 impala.
"If you wipe away the dirt, it's shiny underneath," says auctioneer Yvette VanDerBrink. Even though this car is almost 50 years old, VanDerBrink says, it's still brand new.
Later this month Lambrecht's will auction more than 500 classic cars, many with fewer than 10 miles on the odometer.
Finding cars in this condition is unheard of. It's the holy grail for collectors. Some cars still have the plastic on the seats and the price sticker on the window. The old Impala would have sold for about $3,000 in 1964. It could now be worth 40 times that.
"I would not be surprised to see them break six figures," says Jim Pickering, editor of American Car Collector, a publication covering car auctions around the world. He says many of these brand new cars still have the original oil in their engines.....
*not sure what to make of that, "tiny." By Nebraska standards, with 1,700 people, Pierce is a full-fledged city, just like Miami or Los Angeles; here, "tiny" would be a town--"town," not "village"--of about 20 people or less.
Arrogant effete eastern establishment elites, who dare to tell Nebraskans what's "big" and what's "tiny."
"These are cars that were basically taken from the dealer and shoved out back and have been sitting ever since they were brand new. That just flat out doesn't happen," Pickering says. "This is kind of urban legend material."
Ray Lambrecht, 95, is the man behind the legend. Under his business model, he wouldn't sell trade-ins or the previous year's model once the new ones came out. He closed his dealership in 1996 and is just now selling off his collection.....
The website cataloguing the cars already has more than 1 million views. (A video the auctioneer created of some of the cars has proved similarly popular.) As many as 10,000 enthusiasts will swarm to Pierce, overwhelming the town of about 1,700......
"We've had calls from China, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Germany, all over the world," VanDerBrink says.
