Hello, I am putting the word out for an upcoming online auction towards the end of April in central MN. It is my fathers collection that includes 2 1937 project cars, lots of misc parts, some new in boxes.
Also his 1955 88 Olds car along with lots of parts for those model cars also. Online auction only, they will offer shipping on the smaller stuff. I will post a link when it becomes available. There will also be some late 60s mopar parts. over 30 years of collection. Thank you Any questions, let me know.

I am not sure on the rear end. I thought he was going to put either an original motor back in or a 1955 Rocket engine with a Ford transmission. A bench seat and random parts are included. All of his parts will be in the auction and I feel like he has multiple of alot of things.
It is a custom frame, possibly part nova and or Pontiac in the front. His plans are hopefully somewhere.

We did not as we are looking to sell everything at the house along with tools and collectibles. Auction seems the best and most efficient way

I would guess fees / auction costs will be a BIG number
Call contact them ( FLAP ) and offer 4 SALE the whole deal
cars / property etc and see what they say.. I know it would simplify your life to NOT have to go through the whole auction "process"
They are located ANNANDALE Minn

Thank you for the info but we have committed to the auction. They are making it super simple for us.
Hopefully people can get a good deal on some hard to find parts!

Yes thank you for reminding me! The 37 Olds parts aren't getting much action so someones going to end up with a good deal I think. They grouped the parts together alot unfortunately. But there are some scattered items. The 55 Oldsmobile parts got grouped together a bunch too. The link is below. Otherwise, if you search Auction Masters Maple Grove, Minnesota, it'll come up in their listings.
Auction ends May 21st

My hunch is, with a pickup date of one day and it being Thursday at that, most guys cant make it. Unless a weekend day can be allowed, Im already out.

Yes I don't love that either but if someone really wants or needs something they would find a way to make it work.
