One last post on this subject. I just ran into the auctioneer when I was in the bank doing a little business. He said that the coupe sold for $14,500. He was depositing the proceeds from the sale when I saw him. He had a HUGE stack of cash and checks.

As you can imagine, the 1938 Chevy Businessman's Coupe was the last thing to sell. I left before it sold. It wasn't running but a couple of guys had turned the engine over by hand.

I didn't look at the hour meter on the 3000, but it started and ran very smoothly. It had virtually new tires on the back and average tires on the front.

I auctioneer said that the 3000 hadn't been run in quite some time, so they had towed it to start it earlier in the week, but that they had started it via the battery every time since then.

One other item of interest, they had three new rolls of 48" high field fence. Baekart brand. Each roll sold for $180.00. I bought two rolls about a month ago, not Baekart but the same gauge, and paid $130 for each. I'm going to ask at the Co-Op today about the current price. Auctions are funny things.
