Side pipes

Really looks pretty decent in the pics. Red/red has to be low prod. numbers? I tried emailing for a price and didn't get a reply. Many times they just take highest bid on them.

Not much to go on, but this time of year, it could be a bargain for someone.

Wish I was closer, I'd swing by.

Bias ply tires....that thing has been off the road for 40 years or more. Which means it was in service for 10-15 years at best. Might be a sleeper of a deal at the right price.

These look interesting might be Knock off wheels for a Mid Year

Could be a fun sale to go to, if you had a pocket full of cash.

I noticed those. Could be more hidden treasure. These estate sale people seldom dig through it all.

The Audi looks decent, but need more pictures.

They look like 63-64 wheels I bet someone gets them for a couple of hundred unless the people looking at the 68 Vette notice them and start bidding against each other

I am no expert on the knock off's, as I don't care for them, but man, they bring a TON of money if decent and coded to the car being restored or used. On the Pontiac forum a month or so ago a guy picked up an NOS set of '64 GTO wheels and deluxe covers that were take-offs when the car got Hurst wheels when new. He paid peanuts (like $75 or so) and the wheels and covers are worth several thousand dollars....more than the car cost new. If this were anywhere near me, I'd be there. Last auction I went to I missed out on a 1911 Marion Bobcat speedster that I thought would sell for 100k and I was out of the running. It sold for 36k. D'oh!!

All of the photos are lacking, especially considering the potential value of some of the items.

Looks like someone’s project car that got left only partially done. Looks like lots more needs doing, and ‘68 was a bear to restore.
