Jefferson Bus & Truck Auction

I just finished following the auction today, and it was kind of depressing. It really looks like the place has deteriorated a lot, and has been picked over quite a bit. There were many thousands of items sold today, nonetheless, and that ends one of the prime sources of parts for some time. Many items were really cheap, like seven parts buses going for $360 each, all of the remaining Eagle and GM manuals going for $1 (one of the manuals was marked "Jeff's"), an Allison HT740 takeout for $35 (with driveshaft). Most lots seemed to be under $100, but a few rose to $300 - $450, but they included multiple shelves and/or racks as well. There were a number of NOS Eagle bumper corners still wrapped in cardboard, but that was part of a $450 lot. Super heavy duty jack stands for $6, on and on. I hope Norris (if he is still with us) was not there to see it.

Williams California got flooded last night to the point of them closing I-5. Hope Ted Campbell's Bus place didn't get it too but they are right in the middle of it also.

It isn't too much a stretch thinking that Ted's inventory goes this way too someday.

It's inevitable. Who remembers Dean's Coach in the Raleigh Durham area of the Carolina's. This geographical area was a strong hold for East coast vintage busses. A U - Pick grave yard of retired busses. They'd lift the @$# end of a bus & cut off anything & everything you needed. It's long gone.

Sadly, this will happen to Luke's place eventually. Hopefully a long ways off.

I spoke with Dave Pagel (Ted's good friend). No flood issues at Ted's place.

If you know of the whereabouts of a PD4501 Scenicruiser - I would like to add the serial number to my registry of surviving Scenics.
