RIP John Phillips Model A Garage

I hope the site stays up. It provided a Google-indexed copy of the service bulletins, as well as other basic information. I was surprised it never got hit with a copyright claim, but glad it didn't.
 
P.S. said:
Very sorry you heard it from me. When I left you that VM, I wasn't even thinking. Should have waited and called when you could answer in person. I'm sorry about that.

Paul, it definitely is not viewed as any type of problem on my part. Actually, the person you referred was the 2nd person I heard it from and both have called me since each are in a similar situation with their vehicles. As I understand it, Jon Phillips' shop has over 20 projects that his customers are needing to come retrieve. Apparently there are some very panicked people. Any way any of can help them would definitely be a huge help for the hobby. I am struggling trying to find laborers and a fork lift to move/load stuff because as I understand it, items are being stored in the separate buildings a few miles apart from each other.
 
Brent I heard he passed away from a Florida guy who was going to take his up to him. Good thing he hadn’t yet. We all being small shops hinge on “us” in experience and labor.
And the good Lord calls us home on our day. At 63 Hoping he has some plans for me to keep going for a number of years. I jut had my first reproduction right hip installed as you know and am back on the mend and looking forward to moving much better this year. Like our cars, incredible that we and they can be restored/rebuilt, made new after all the years use and abuse !

Hello Everyone,

I am the auctioneer that is liquidating the Model A Garage for John's estate. We are doing an online only auction which closes January 29. Let me know if you have any questions.

Because I am new to the forum, I am not allowed to post links. If you go to Mountain Valley Auctions dot Com you will find the auction.
 
Hello, sorry of hearing of a fellow Model A er passing away ,Best wishes to his family, a “vacant chair “ at family gatherings. Rest in Peace.

When someone dies, a "Library" closes.

This is a library we all wish we had the card.

So far we'll see when the auction closes if they were "reasonable". I suspect you won't steal anything. The locals will get some great deals on items that can't be shipped.

From my experience with online auctions like this, the "mad rush" of bidding will happen within the last 6 to 12 hours. So definitely...it will be interesting to see where these end up, especially since some of the bidding is quite strong.

For me, I'm looking for the opportunity to get some tools I need. But we'll see where the final values end up.

In the long run though, this is great for the estate and his heirs.
 
Is anyone familiar with this auction company - will the winning bids be shown after the bidding has ended? Seems like often they are and often they aren't.

Never mind - I found a spot that would seem to indicate that winning bid amounts will be shown.
