There is a remarkable collection of approximately 325 vintage cars, meticulously gathered by Randy over the span of 50 years. These automobiles, often referred to as “barn-finding cars,” should not be expected to be in operational or drivable condition. While some may appear as though they were salvaged from a junkyard, others are in exceptional shape and could be restored with minor repairs.
On the property, you will come across a variety of makes including Chevrolets, Fords, Mercurys, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles, predominantly from the renowned “golden period” of American automobiles, which thrived during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
However, the true gem of this collection lies in its extensive assortment of 1959 and 1960 Chevrolets. The inventory boasts over 90 composite Chevrolets from that era, including the timeless and popular Impala, as well as the El Camino, Biscayne, and Bel Air models, as reported by VanDerBrink Auctions.
Yet, the list of Chevys extends far beyond the 1959 and 1960 models. Randy also possesses two 1953 Bel Airs, a pair of Impalas spanning from 1961 to 1963, and Chevelles produced from 1964 to 1967. If the 1959 and 1960 El Caminos fail to capture your interest, you might stumble upon utility coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1966.
For enthusiasts of muscle cars, this collection includes ten first-generation Ford Mustangs and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Additionally, I noticed a couple of Ford coupes from the 1930s and a Woody wagon on the list. Pontiac enthusiasts will find a 1959 Catalina, at least three 1960 Bonnevilles, as well as models such as the Chieftain and Star Chief from the 1950s.
If you have a penchant for more uncommon automobiles, this assemblage features a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a 1959 Ford Fairlane, and a 1966 Mercury Cyclone Indy Pace Car.
Providing a comprehensive list within this article would be impractical, but you can view it on the VanDerBrink Auctions website. The auction is scheduled for Saturday, October 15, 2022, with a preview day on October 14. Furthermore, online bidding will be available, eliminating the need to travel in person to select a restoration project.
