Remember the Swiss neutron star of potential Hell Projects, Historischer Autofriedhof Gürbetal? All 700+ vehicles will be auctioned off next month!
Yes, the Historischer Autofriedhof Gürbetal collection, which comprises the largest concentration of pancreas-meltingly cool project cars ever assembled in one place, will go under the auctioneer's gavel on September 19th. Naturally, I'll be doing some furious lobbying to get the Gawker Overlords to ship me over there to buy every Jalopnik employee his own Official Jalopnik Staff Car (I'm sort of torn between one of the Lancia Flaminias and the Sunbeam Rapier for myself). There's plenty of Detroit iron, too, including 13 Plymouth Valiants and 10 Chevy Impalas. You can get the complete PDF list of the vehicles here; we'll share some of the highlights:
• 9 1947-52 Citroën 11s
• 13 Alfa Romeo Giuliettas
• 6 Borgward Isabellas
• 5 Chevy IIs
• 14 Morris Minors
• 23 Opel Olympias
• 6 Studebaker Champions
You get the idea. Go here for the overview, here for some more. Thanks to OneWheelDrive for the tip!
