Good news! Hot rod collector left it all for the county to auction off!

Those vehicles were moved to the Public Administrator’s lot in Santa Ana, where staff have been attempting to identify them and determine their value ever since.

Ford Model Ts and Model As, Volkswagen Buses and Beetles, and dozens of other models, including many Chevy work truck 3100 and 6400 models, an F100, and they did not yet inventory the vehicles to give us an accurate list of year make and model, but they did say there is a 49 Ford convertible

There are piles of tires, a truck bed loaded with rusted Ford flathead V8 engines and a frame for a 1900s Ford pickup, as well as hubcaps, headlights, radiators, tailgates and gas cans.

Seems like nothing is very firmly known for a fact yet, not the day of the auction, or what they are auctioning... so, lot's of interest but not enough to kickstart anyone to do the right thing and get answers.

some Disney World fan now has the opportunity to buy the monorail

the Mark IV Monorails began running the rails on Walt Disney World’s opening day in 1971.

The monorail train offered for sale appears to be one of the original Mark IV cars. The seller describes it as all intact but “not perfect.” There are a few blemishes on its exterior but it is said to come with its original wheels, interior, and unaltered operator’s cab. As an added bonus, the seller mentioned the monorail comes with its transport trailer and free delivery.

Elvis had a 1971 Stutz Blackhawk that is going to auction for the 1st time.

http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/elvis-presley-items-up-for-auction#slide=9

in addition to the Blackhawk, the collection of Elvis cars includes
a 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood — the famous Pink Cadillac —
a black 1960 Rolls-Royce Phantom,
a white 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud,
a 1975 Ferrari Dino,
a 1956 Continental Mark II,
a 1969 Mercedes-Benz Pullman Limousine and a 1962 Lincoln Continental.

Julien's Auctions of Beverly Hills May 16 "Music Icons" auction will also be where the tour bus Elvis bought will find a new owner
http://news.yahoo.com/elvis-presley-auction-offer-tour-bus-stutz-blackhawk-160049385.html

The Stutz Blackhawk started life in the United States as a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix, chosen for the GP's engine placement far back on the frame. It was then shipped to Italy to be converted. Only the engine and transmission were kept as the body was stripped away and a new body and coach work added - by hand - not machine, to transform the car into a Stutz Blackhawk.

The interior of the Stutz was very luxurious. The floor coverings were made of Australian lambs wool. Twenty four karat gold plates the bezels and moldings. Only the finest European leather covered the seats, and was used on the dash. The dash also consisted of beautiful English burl. The Stutz went through a six week long process with twenty-two coats of individually hand rubbed lacquer paint.

This second Stutz Blackhawk prototype was flown to the United States to demonstrate and display at car shows from which custom orders could be placed for cars to be made. That is until Elvis Presley decided he wanted the car.

Elvis then immediately turned the car over to George Barris to further customize it. Elvis had for many years, had several motor vehicles designed and coach built by his friend, 'The King of Customizers' George Barris.

Elvis purchased his second Blackhawk, this time a production model on September 8, 1971. This car was delivered to Elvis on September 9, 1971. The 1971 models were all two seater's with a small jump seat in the back that folded down to accept matching luggage. This 1971 model used a two piece split windshield.

Other famous owners including Sammy Davis Jr., Evel Knievel, Robert Goulet, Larry Holmes, Wille Nelson, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Lucille Ball, Wilson Pickett, Billy Joel, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra, Joseph Denney and Wayne Newton.

Pete Waterman's collection of model locomotives

the sales of these models will then fund the restoration of the real ones http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-32194297

The most exceptional model engineering works of art built to the very highest standards in nickel silver and brass by some of the best gauge one and larger gauge model builders who have ever lived.

Geoff Holt and George MacKinnon-Ure spent the last 20 years of their lives building these fine models for Pete Waterman, with a life time of knowledge of the full size railway locomotives. As Pete recently said; ‘I never ever thought about cost when commissioning these models – it was all about true quality, which ultimately is the only thing that matters. No expense was spared in achieving the very best outcomes'.

Works of art with in many cases, taking periods of up to four years to research each engine and obtain drawings, build patterns and then to hand build each locomotives.

These models are ‘scratch built', not built from kits, making them unique in the true sense of the word. The detail in these models is nothing short of perfect with great attention given to the working motions, the valve gear by such great names as Stephenson, Walschaert and Joy valve gear used in all of the London North Western Railway engines, detailed eccentric work, balanced cranks, brake and sanding gear, fine plate work with detailed riveting.

Each example has then been painstakingly painted with the highest degree of detail. These examples from Pete’s collection have been worked on by top model locomotive painters including; Alan Brackenborough, Brian Badger and Larry Goddard. In some we can even see specialist weathered finishes by Brian Caldicott.
