Elmer's Mecum Auction?

[wthirty1]

Anyone from the Chicago area going to up to Wisconsin to pick up their purchases? If so, let me know. Trying to get a go-kart brought back from up there.

I'm still shaking my head over that one! Was there something special about it?

I was bidding on the '66 GTO, but it went way past my comfort zone.

Glad I forgot about it......would have been a wasted trip

From what we heard, the last time we were down there 4-5 yrs ago, is that Elmer had made some gentleman's agreement to sell EVERYTHING to someone in Germany, as that was what he wanted. To sell it all in one piece. By the time he passed, that had fallen apart and they only wanted select items and some of the more choice items did leave after his death. I get the feeling this went to auction as a result of that and there may be big foreign money involved with some of the crazy prices...https://www.yenko.net/forum/data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhGQAZALMMAAAAAFJSUnNzc5SUlJzO//8xAP97Y/+UhP+llP/Oxv/nhP///wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH/C05FVFNDQVBFMi4wAwEAAAAh+QQJCgAMACwAAAAAGQAZAAAEtJ BJCWqdOOuKOjLXFk6AZxrgpgBYiSSJiwAoS1o2U8JwCRw1Uu/DcvUAiU7FULAhZxZd55iEMp1KonQKO11vuK3J22wlU7SsF1AG5 9IzT62Jq6xaqBqOPugLBAArOTp5eQVNfXWBAIAtbIeHAAOABJW Vi3+DOnV/gIp/AZobnaSgoRqoFQGrrKGiqZmfp6gknX1+pLO0jAK3t7mvtX++pb qpAaXFxsfIysu7AK2sI7QZioMRAAAh+QQJCgAMACwAAAAAGQAZ AAAEtZBJCWqdOOuKOjKXJjKAZxogZm1dkpQdgAIToNBZ6bolcM wUC47SegESMVmhwvsMYbxj0rCUCmue3YnKQZRSRJMYtSQJn4bY GFQmIcGUtNczq56HcRRIWB34bQACIXl6VEt/FjeBgioABY+PAAOCBJWABIt4ZkICnXeLAZobnaSlAaEjOQCnrK eDqSSedwKosIsCfn6ltKIqnbm5pr01pMC7tSOru8fIyafLrMOq rdHSIp8YEQAAIfkECQoADAAsAAAAABkAGQAABLKQSQlqnTjrij oylyYygGcaIBVuXZKUHYACpEKLpeuWwDFbqwlsB0jEZMXX5yZs vYpHkBGYgSF0J1BsWTV5P4YCMEgybLMAMTRVNSOsM/WYSUH9LOoBwCboB2V2KAViA3p7QH4YFYOMAAMCAASHBJQAiYpj fZBzfQF0OJqhnZ4jVQABqKmenyOWm5mkpSSahYWisa19tbWhuK C6vL2sigGit744qMapwxunqqhksiRzGBEAACH5BAkKAAwALAAA AAAZABkAAASrkEkJap0464o6MpelZYBnGiCgAONUIknyIkAqtm Ucl8AB7B/WprP7dSoJ2o1ElBmVx+BopjtZlpiZyYMygqaG6Ml2wYVpXFBBd S27UN3rmj0Q2AVuRg2OKqwHbG12QhQAfocAdWwEjIwAgySCg22 PAgGEOHeadgGXLZGdoZ15n5WUj56fencDrXWaqZkCrq6wmBust baqAAGbm6Oqep2/obc4vaKjx7yUGBEAACH5BAkKAAwALAAAAAAZABkAAAS3kEkJap 304l2RR4bGAAqwYcCnGuFomWeKJImMACxApy0307XbIZe4WXy/StEY8vBgE9lO58QVXiLKB7gyXKm9qGoM8mJjBuc49y2dKOnbh2 0pHVGs3Os7IAEEgFk4eSwFVwN9fhaBKACGjwADAgAEBJSVloyN L4CTWH8CAVBvI52mgAGipBwAqa6pWaugn3+qq6WAiIintqSgur qmvW+gAsC8ozEBp7zDxKnMrsm+ra+w07e0GBEAACH5BAUKAAwA LAAAAAAZABkAAAS5kEkJap3Y4gyQR8aVKcBGfagRTpbIeknSeY BaAnG3vnGOAAcbA/fTnBA5YtFQqNBApWMyQas1h63o8NNLMaPE3RZFVl2xrqHh6QWc ASRTjQ0KNVskLUVla90HgHAAAmk1fGZNgRZ5AoQcBZCQAAOEBJ YEAJaDjhwtjYRZmwF6JkOfp40Bo6VyAKqvqmmspqBZAquztAKA gKi4rJu8vKe/pZu7w8SkG66ovsXGqs6vy8ausLHVs6F6EQAAOw==

There was a green Superbird Pedal car that the Speedway Museum bought at the auction for 50K. A member here has the actual Superbird that he bought from Elmer a few years ago.

The pedal cars are awesome but not $50k awesome.
