What an amazing collection of Neon signs and Ford motor vehicles Mr Dingman has collected. This picture is from a previous sale.

Nothing in that building I could afford but would love to have many items!

Wow, what a collection!

lotsagas4u · 06-01-2018, 06:22 PM

Wow, some nice ford signs, really like the big one on the wall. Something I could never afford.

I guess summer flushes the chumps.

Gulp! 1936 Roadster sells for $140,000 including buyer premium. From the catalog "This car is one of several in the collection whose engine was consigned by Mr. Dingman to Roush Performance Products for rebuilding."

https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/D...oadster/658672

And this cutaway engine for $45,600 again "Inclusive of applicable buyer's fee."

The buyers fee on non automobiles was 20%. The fees on cars was 12% up to 250k and then 10%. These auctioneers are out of control.

Frank Miller · 06-26-2018, 05:31 PM

This 49 ford sold for over 100k. Incredible considering what I saw Don Gibson's 51s sell for in Hershey. Maybe I need to stop driving mine. Nah! I figure the value is in the laces it's been. It wil never be the best but I'm shooting for top 10 of most driven.

I was watching some of the Lincoln items in the collection, and even looked into bidding but I'm just too cheap to spend $150 just to be outbid by someone else (and looking at the final sale price on the items I was looking at, I made the correct decision.)

I didnt read any of the auctioneers terms, is your $150 comment mean that its cost $150 to register to bid?

Yep, at least that's how I read it when I got partway through the registration. Really a negligible amount when you consider how much many of the items sold for, but money I could better spend elsewhere.

Ray Balukas · 06-26-2018, 07:06 PM

I went both day's, beautiful collection. Was worth going to just to look at everything. I met the guy who bought the 40" storage box full of old ford stuff. He lives close to me I'm going to go take a look as soon as he gets it to his property. The thing was packed. Might be some good stuff.

I guess thats how they keep the riff raff out which will keep me away.

Welcome to club riff-raff, we have t-shirts. (Not matching or anything, but good enough to get past that no-shoes no-shirt sign.)

Ya, count me in with the riff-raff.......beautiful stuff though.....Mark

lotsagas4u · 06-26-2018, 08:03 PM

Wow, that 36 was nice, but, for that kind of money, they should have put the right heads on it.

petehoovie · 06-26-2018, 08:13 PM

I think that's a picture of a 1940 Ford or later cutaway engine. Look at the transmission attached to it....

Has an electric motor hooked to it to rotate it. Looks more like a 42 to 48 motor by the fan setup

Gary in La. · 06-26-2018, 08:25 PM

With that dist, fan assy, fuel pump and exh. manifold, I would say '47-'48

Clem Clement · 06-26-2018, 09:28 PM

Are prices listed some place. I'm interested in knowing the price of the 40 Merc convert sedan.
