Wrap Up From the Charles Kee Estate Sale

The Charles Kee Estate Sale was May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon and it was a blast to attend. They had 1000 boxes of parts for sale and 200 cars, most of it Mopar! I was there from the front lines bidding and buying parts along with a bunch of other Mopar fanatics.  The cars ended up going for pretty cheap, most at not much more than scrap prices with a few exceptions. The parts were a little more expensive but lots of treasures were to be found in the hundreds and hundreds of banana boxes that Charles Kee used to store stuff.  It is hard to show the scale of how many parts were here but we tried with this picture.

1970 Barracuda Idle for 37 Years

Barn finds are still be found. Hot Rod reported on this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that was parked in 1977 due to an unidentified issue. The car, and everything around it, has not been touched since that day. One can say it’s “only” a 318 automatic but that just means that it’s not too rare and valuable to drive and enjoy. More pics after the jump!
