My uncle was helping to settle an estate, and they needed me to look at a couple of VW's an establish a value. I used to repair VW's and have owned quite a few in my younger days.
One of the VW's was a 1967 bus.....and this is what I saw when I went to look at it:
The VW and every other car in the building was surrounded by "stuff". Boxes and old car parts and lamps and signs and old toys and old tools and old mopeds and bicycles......you name it! The man had 4 large garages just stacked with stuff and some of the areas were so deeply stacked that you could not even walk between things. I managed to get one front door open enough to peek inside, and I was able to find a spot where I could crawl in under the bus to see what the bottom looked like. The bus is a project with the typical rust on the rocker panels, the frame was good - but it was missing the rear seats and needs a complete restoration.
It will take the family 1-2 years of hard work to clear this mess up. There is some really nice and valuable stuff in these garages - but also a lot of stuff that is not worth much. He had rearly Indian and Harley single cylinder motorcycles from the 1910 - 1914 era, a 50's Norton, a 70's Honda 350 XL, and a 1967 Honda S65 with only 372 miles on it. (I bought that one).
I am going to start cleaning out my stuff and get rid of all the extra stuff, I don't want my wife or family to have to go through this kind of cleanup when I am gone!
