Holy Mackerel !! That's a lot of parts. Coincidentally I was in central Florida last week looking at a semi truck full of Model 'A' parts that a guy was trying to sell. It was overwhelming.

Wow. Do any of you Florida guys know who this is?

Re: Ormond Beach, FL, Model A estate sale
 

I'm farther south but would definitely love to check this sale out!

Re: Ormond Beach, FL, Model A estate sale
 

I sure hope it didn’t take all those parts to make one decent coupe

Re: Ormond Beach, FL, Model A estate sale
 

I've always believed that Model A parts were fairly scarce in Florida. Not so, by the looks of this auction. If any of those gas tanks are good, it might be a good time to pick up a spare?

Figures - I’m out of the country for 10days. I live 2 hours south. I would like to buy a couple rims to practice spoke straightening. Think the ad said one day sale. That’s a lot of parts

It’s a sale for the estate of Bud Pike. RIP.

Parts hoarder,good to get them back into circulation

"Parts hoarder"?

Re: Ormond Beach, FL, Model A estate sale
 

Bud did accumulate lots of Model A parts during the past 50+ years but was one of the nicest persons you would ever want to meet.

Re: Ormond Beach, FL, Model A estate sale
 

I think that's an unfair statement, unless you personally knew the guy?


I'm not a parts hoarder but easily have that many parts. I own several old cars, and have restored several. That's how you get a parts accumulation like this.


Haven't you ever been to a swap meet, wanted one part in the box, but had to buy the entire box to get it?

Even if he was a hoarder, not saying he was, better than the parts getting junked and melted down, or in a landfill. Gives someone the chance to rebuild/reuse them.

Some Mustang parts I would love to have there for a project. Wrong side of the US...

My father moved there when he was 82 and lived to be 95 he used to call Florida
