Heads Up: Auction sale

[hrpearce]

Kevin of "kevin's toys" is busy lining up what is going into his clearing sale.
There will be some military items and when the final decisions are made I will photograph what is for sale and advertise here.
The sale will be on Saturday 30th November.

Finally Kevin and myself were available at the same time to take photos.
The sale is at The Willows, Yaven creek road Adelong.
Bolt on Blitz hatch complete with catch, needs pipe frame cutting off, Three Jeep blocks, Pallet of miscellaneous parts.
Hatch is now in my shed and not part of the sale.

Jeep, Runs but needs work, some spare parts under tarp.

Bedford powered Chev Blitz with winch, helper springs and good tyres. The drivers door will be there but it has a broken hinge. Engine runs and cab is sound.

[Bob McNeill]

interesting setup with both C15A front axle lever and 3tonner shift tower, also front rollers at rear.

It seems I left out some important information. The items above are part of a farm clearing sale. The sale commences at 10AM. You need to register and get a bidding number, ID required. No phone or online bids as there is no coverage. GST will be added at the fall of the hammer.
No photos today because I was on the motor bike but a ford blitz grill has appeared and some 30 cal ammunition boxes, made from metal and with a very elaborate sealing mechanism.

Jeep is a 1942 GPW, I'll be there as it is only 10K's away. I will probably only buy my lunch to support the per school.

Any chance of more photos of the jeep? Does she have much rust or body damage? Would like to see a photo of the motor if you have one. Cheers Shane

I'm going past tomorrow so will see what I can get. Post results after work.

Shane,
Jeeps are not my field of expertise, however:
The Jeep shown at post #4 on this thread:
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21232
sold on Friday for $5200 according to Darrin Wright, (I thought it was $5500 but he was there..) plus 11%. This had been converted to Right Hand Drive and had a holden motor fitted, was rough but mostly there. These two conversions usually devalue a Jeep considerably (like 50%), the local jeep guys were expecting it to be about $2000 for this reason.
The one shown on this thread also looks to be reasonably complete (no back seat in sight), has not had the back cut out, still LH drive, can't see if the rims are combat or not (spare is), so I would not expect it to go for less than 8K. If they start it on the day of the sale it will lift the price considerably.
Long way to go and be dissapointed, shame about the lack of phone bidding, but usually you can leave a max bid with the agent. If only you knew someone closer who could bid for you......
Rich.

I was there at Yaven creek in 1976 scrounging jeep parts .

I bought a 44 GPW in Tumut for $200 .. yes $200 . As we drove through Adelong we spotted a Jeep in a front yard .. it was for sale for $100 .. it was running , it had been a shooting buggy and the body was totally beyond help, but it had all the little goodies on it .

Kevin's neighbour down the road had a heap of 42 model Jeep stuff ... sorry but I got there first

At the time Kevin had a very nice original Humber 1 Tonner like Richard has and a beaut slatt grill Jeep , very straight body , it was unmolested . He also had the most original US Jeep trailer I've ever seen ... looked like it just left the factory .

memories .. Mike

[Shane]
