Rust Brothers Inventory all for sale


Out for wings with the car guys tonight and word is out that Mike has sold the property and all the cars are for sale.   Also saw a youtube on Facebook showing a guy going through the yard.  Not sure what the time line is but will be interesting.  May go up there in the next day or two.

According to his show (if you believe it) he's been trying to keep his business afloat for years. There is a history of his place being up for sale at least three times previously, maybe this is the finale.

Let us know what your investigative reporting digs up Jerel (pictures of course).

thanks for posting this!

So what's the story here?

I went to their site, and nothing seems to be mentioned;
Is the whole property sold including where the shop is?
(the video makes it seem like the two are connected.)

I have (like I am confident many of you have) become failry jaded to scripted drama on reality tv, so when there is repeated "oh we gotta do this or we're going to be broke", I ignore it as part of hte script;
IIRC the first season of rust brothers ended with the field being listed, but no mention of it was made in the second season.

Is that long roof that he refers to as a Chevy wagon around the time of the Morris Minor perhaps a Beaumont wagon?

If you've seen the cliffhanger of an awkward ending to the season 3 finale of the TV show it gives an implausible reason for the liquidation of his assets.no

I'll have to watch the video this afternoon. Hopefully it contains more intelligent content than the TV show.

/\ thanks for the heads up!!

I haven't had conventional television in over a decade, I killed tv when the channels I liked were being moved to digital packages;
I'll have to wait till it's up on netflix - which will likely be several months after season three ends.

If it HAS ended, can you divulge if it's done?

Watched the first 15 mins and the camera man was wandering around, not much different than what I'd do.    I previously spotted the plot of land on google maps, easy to find as I saw it was near the highway.

My brother in law who lives in Tappen has told me Mike has sold the one property and has six months to clean out about 450 cars. He was trying to have the site updated with the list and prices of the cars this weekend.

 Thank you very much for sharing this.

Hopefully Mike has a lead on another piece of property to store the best of the best of his cars;

The 73 Firebird and 69-70 Grand Prix are my favorites of the lot.

Wonder how many more he has to list of the GM line. There was a '58 Laurentian wagon shown at the beginning of the video. Looks terribly rough but a parts car for sure.

Definitely not the cheapest of cars. $$$

 

Here is the GM list to date...

I spoke to a friend who drives a car hauler. I inquired about what it would cost to get 8 cars (all parked at one location) from BC to PEI. I figured if it's 8 cars from one location going to one final destination it might be cost effective. Apparently not. It'd be about $3500 per vehicle. Maybe you'd find a trucker who'd do it cheaper to Ontario.

 Oh wow. So its roughly the same if it was done individually pretty much? I thought there would be maybe some savings. last quote I received was around $3200 from BC to Ontario For just one car.
