Model A Club and friends, Steve Koehn from the Lone Star MAFC is sharing this on behalf of Johnv Garett who is helping a friend of his organize a sale to dispose of a large barn full of Model A and other car parts left behind by her late husband.
The parts are located in the Cameron, Texas area. John is going to hold a sale on August 25th. Contact John for detailed information and directions for the sale. There will be no pre-sales. Contact John for time and address.
There are engines, fenders, gas tanks, transmissions, and the list goes on and on!!!!!!!
If someone is interested in purchasing the whole lot for resale, there are $$$ to be made. John would entertain an offer for everything. Based on what I have seen, it would require two or three trips with a large trailer to get all of the items.
