Kruse Auctioning an Auburn Auto during Auburn 2007

After Connie's boyfriend passed away she decided to drive to Fredericksburg, Texas, to sell the 1972 Olsmobile Cutlass S the couple shared. And Connie is not alone as hundreds of collector and muscle cars are up for grabs at Dan Kruse's auction.

A couple is wanting to grab a 1970s muscle car, but husband and wife differ on how much muscle is needed to rev their engine. Maybe the answer is Lot 29. With the bidding in the $6,000 range will the 1976 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe sting the wallet?

In this part, it starts out with a Borgward 3 ton halftrack. Then next to it, is one of the German mobile artillery tanks, and next to it is a Panzerschreck. Across from that display is a German captured Chevy truck with a spotlight in tow. Behind that is a White M3A1 scout car, a Dodge ambulance, a GMC CCKW, a.... more

Last Saturday, my uncle, the same one who went with me to the Dayton Air Force Museum and the one who owns both the pickup and the Ford van, and I went to the Kruse World War 2 Victory Museum in Auburn, Indiana which is several miles north of Fort Wayne, Indiana. First off, you'll see the front of the building along.... more

All the 1950 Chrysler Windsor is missing for $8,800 is the roller-skating waitress. But $8,000 won't land you a 1985 Mercury Cougar "Tiffany" Elite with only 13,000 miles. Now that the reserve is off, what will the 1978 Trans Am go for?

Something is screaming "get out of my way." It must be the 1972 Chevrolet Malibu. And check out the rear end on the 1940 Willy's Americar or the chick magnet at Lot 162. But it's the 1974 Plymouth Duster that have everyone thinking pink.

It may not be vintage, but it's hard to resist the 2002 Jaguar X-Type 3 sedan. It's completely loaded and has a 183 cubic-inch engine with 165 horsepower, auto transmission, fuel injection and mag wheels. With no reserve this should be interesting.

As brakes prepare to bring the Kruse auction to a screeching halt, we're down to the last two gems: a 1971 Dodge Charger and a 1967 Chevrolet Nova. Which will command the most the coin? The purple Saturday night special or the villain?

In this part we see a couple more vehicles used by the French and British armies. In one spot they have a model of the battleship the Admiral Graf Spee. Past that section is a couple of Italian trucks. The most interesting was the Breda 40. Parallel to that is a couple of German desert warfare vehicles with a.... more
