It is sad to see this much stuff unused. most will probably not sell, or be sold for scrap. just my opinion

Cool Re: Model T Haven Liquidation Auction in Iola KS

Yep, Model T Haven has been around for awhile. I bought some parts from them when I was building the roadster a few years back. Sad to see another old parts supplier bite the dust. Just a sign of the times, I guess.

Many of us grew up in a time where old things (cars, furniture, houses, guitars etc.) increased in monetary value and grew in public appreciation, and there seemed to be no end in sight. So some folks collected all the old stuff that they could get their hands on. I'm guessing Alaska Jim might be correct that there will never be a market for ALL that stuff. Heck, I couldn't say for sure, but there may be more fenders in that junkyard than there are running working Model T's today, at least steel body cars that use fenders. Kind of sad.
