Ford CMP auction Milford Ontario
 

automotive artifacts
 

That looks like an interesting auction. Too bad there are no descriptions. There are a couple interesting parts drawer units, but I have no need for something quite that "majestic".

At the bottom of the listing is a Gran Torino car with the word 'KEEP' spraypainted on the side. I guess someone was overruled!

That 15cwt Ford 12 cab sat out front of the Minaker's garage (the wrecking yard was across the street) since as early as the late 1970's when I first saw it. They also had an 11 or 12 cab artillery tractor body and most people thought that went with the Ford we are talking about. Not so, the FAT body came off an 11 cab C-GT that I recovered down the road in Bloomfield. They sold me the FAT body at a princely sum but the project was subsequently sold.

That poor Ford has been outside its entire life and has spent all that time lifting, pushing and pulling scrap cars. I can't imagine there is much left there to save.

Minakers parts
 

There used to be literally tons of spare parts there - not sure how much still is. When I bought a Ford rad for my F8 CMP in about 2007 they had a stack of them.
