Check this out. Nebraska Chevy dealer that closed many years ago held onto ~500 cars that are to be sold at auction, including 50 with less than 20 miles. Want your own brand "new" Corvair? 2 with less than 20 miles. Silver anniversary corvette. Pretty cool video - worth the 12 minutes if you, like me, have a fondness for the old machines.

Here's a link to the auction site, including initial list of vehicles. Lots of other makes besides Chevy.

Now that you mention it, yes! I love old Chevys. I wish I had the cash to take advantage of those deals. IMHO the Chevrolet designers have lost their way in modern times. I like the new body styles, but the front and back ends do not have a classic look that other makers still produce.

To be clear, the Corvair is not the most interesting thing to me here, just pointed out for effect. I was disappointed that there was no '61 pickup, my original vehicle. But there were a bunch of '63's that appear to be never titled. Not that much difference I between '61 and '63.

I'm a big fan of the Chevrolet Advanced Design pick-up trucks from 1947-1955. 3100's are my faves - the 1/2 ton.

Thanks for posting the auction info!

If you look at their other auctions, you'll see an individual listing for each item, so I'm sure they'll have a lot more info on each item.

They have an auction running currently with a bunch of old scooters and cushmans - bidding on that auction closes June 29.

Followed up on the links and found a black 1964 Honda Dream 305 in a collection up for auction. Apparently in storage all these years. Has most of the OEM bling that was available. WOW!
