1952 customline coupe, original except for the front seat. 239V8 flathead. Runs and drives ect...Not restored. I got it a few years ago, thinking my grandsons would like to have it for a high school project! They lost interest. I'm insuring 6 other cars and pickups. Thanks for the Hemmings input. I have lots of parts for it also. Windshield, rear window, extra original am that works. Things like that!

Downsizing - understood - I have sold eight old trucks in the past four years. Each 50+ more years old - one a 1952 Mack.
Most of those were sold before we moved from NM to AZ, so selling from a remote mountain site was a challenge.
Advertised the first one online at the ATHS site - sold in two days to a fellow in South Carolina. All of the others were advertised only on Craigslist - sold every one within three days of placing ad - four of them the next day and one the same day. Some of them went quite far away. Interested parties from all over the US and some from Canada know how to do quick searches of Craigslist nationwide, and especially search where weather/climate is kind to vehicles.
Just sold a very unique 1970 GMC - went onto Craigslist Tucson at night - buyer called from Minnesota the next AM. Purchased the next day. I will really miss that one.

Have a few more - one at a time.
I’ve enjoyed the pics you’ve posted over the years. Some beautiful trucks.

I'm going to post local first. If it doesn't sell quick, maybe I can swap it for something ! Traded a honda civic for a steer last year! Honda is behind the guys garage. And the steer turned into a turd, go figure!

Yes, Mark, that has been a fun and very handy/practical light camping combo. Don't know yet what to do - I'm thinking. Maybe I will put together a nice compact camper in a utility trailer - something like the one Blue brought to Armijo Springs. That one was very well done.
Well, maybe Bring A Trailer - but that outfit "curates" according to the description of what you send in to auction. Yes - "curate: - as with the folks at art galleries do when deciding what to display, etc.
BAT does reject vehicles for auction - "does not meet the standards/criteria we have set for our auction".
