You are looking at a rare piece indeed - an extremely correct survivor 1960 Corvette with the correct 270 HP 283, Borg Warner T10 and 4.11 posi rear end, both tops, and the right colors. It is a very late 1960, appearing to be a mere 166 from the end of the run, built in late August 1960. It also has the original aluminum Harrison radiator and high RPM tach to support the 270 HP option, and a host of correct components. Probably one of the most correct cars I have seen.

The paint is nearly all original, the interior is original, the generator, shielding, radiator and alternator, carbs, heads, and intake all original and appear correct. The radiator is the first year Harrison aluminum radiator, with even the correct cap. The plug wires are dated 1964, the tires are 1964 Firestone 500 bias belted tires (correct size).

The dash is perfect as are the door panels. The steering wheel has no cracks. There is no front fender sag either. It is finished in Marlboro Maroon with black interior. Options include the 4.11 posi rear end, 4 speed, and 270H dual quad, as well as courtesy lamps, 2 tone paint, 2 tops, temp controlled radiator fan, heater, and a Wonderbar signal seeking radio. It does not have the optional e-brake warning light, visors or windshield washers. All the locks and keys are there and work. The rear bumpers are super, the front bumpers need plating.

This museum piece would be a great NCRS or Bloomington Survivor candidate.  Note the Maroon in the trunk still there from the assembly line and it still retains the original Guide T-3 headlights. I have tested all the electrical and it all works.

The paint is nice, especially given the age but is not perfect. The paint appears mint in the photos but  it is not that nice. There have been some small touch ups on the way and there are a few cracks and imperfections in the fiberglass. It does have some small marks that have been touched up as you walk around the car. There is also a crack behind the driver's door as you can see, and the hardtop rear window has a small crack near the center bottom. One of the interior kick panels has a small crack, the transmission shifter appears to be stuck in neutral from sitting. These are all very easy fixes and are to be expected given the age and storage.

You are looking at a rare piece indeed - an extremely correct survivor 78 Corvette Silver Anniversary with all correct components, and 27,000 original miles.

The steering wheel has no cracks. It also has an original floor and trunk mats. All the locks and keys are there and work - it even has what appear to be the original GM set.

You are looking at an original 1979 Bally Paragon wide body pinball machine arcade game. Look at the condition - it is near mint with a perfect backglass and it works well. There is a bit of the side veneer lifting as you can see in the photo, but very minimal and does not detract from the overall beauty of this game. I played 12 games and it worked perfectly. It is on CONSIGNMENT from a long-time customer in Green Bay. Note the manuals are included and the front lock and key are there, but the top head lock is missing. These are available for a couple bucks.

I specialize in jukebox restoration and early video games such as Pac-man, as well as pinball machines from Gottlieb , Williams and Bally. Please see my other auctions.

The Boston Red Sox won four World Series in the eight years Babe Ruth played on the team. They sold Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 and a $300,000 loan because Boston's owner Harry Frazee needed the cash to invest in a new play on Broadway. As noted since the cash transaction, Boston's inability to win a single World Series Title has been attributed to The Curse of the Bambino.

Who could forget the infamous Bill Buckner error in game 6 of the 1986 world series? That error is without a doubt the most devastating and costly error in World Series history.

You are looking at a 1986 World Series Official Ball stamped with the autograph of former baseball commissioner Peter V. Ueberroth. This ball has been preserved for nearly 20 years, and is in MINT condition. It has been signed by the entire 1986 MLB World Series runner up Boston Red Sox team.

I am selling this baseball on consignment for a gentleman who worked at the Pfister hotel in the 1980's and 1990's. The Pfister is the premiere hotel in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When Major League Baseball teams come into town, they stay at the Pfister.

Each signature on this ball has been thoroughly examined and authenticated by the top Grading & Authentication service in the country, Profesional Sports Authenticators (PSA). The ball is tagged with invisible ink laced with a synthetic DNA sequence/combination, specific to PSA/DNA and detectable only under a specially calibrated laser. The Letter of Authenticity is included in this auction.

Let me first say this is a consignment item from a person that had this slot machine back into the 1930’s. Take a close look at this beauty. It is a spectacular Caille center pull slot machine. These are about as rare as hen’s teeth. When was the last one you have seen for sale? It appears to be original with the exception of probably the back door and is missing the glass for the payout. I heard someone was reproducing it but am unsure if this is true. This machine has no repro parts that I know of and retains the original cash box. It does not appear to have been repainted anytime recently and is probably original paint. This quarter slot machine runs great.

My dad has had Watling, Mills and Pace, but I really like this unit. It would be a great addition to any collection, barroom rec room or gameroom. US Shipping is $150 well insured and well packed – a custom fitted crate will be fabricated for this machine. Due to regulating laws the sale of antique slot machines, I, as the seller, will not accept bids from members in the states of Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Due to this machine being 80-100 years old, it is sold strictly as-is-as-shown. Please bid accordingly. In lieu of shipping, you can pick it up in Franklin, Wisconsin, (near Milwaukee, or about 1.5 hours from Chicago). I will hold it for 30 days if you plan to pick it up. Pickup at the Chicagoland Jukebox Show in St. Charles, Illinois is also possible (prepaid). The show is in a Chicago suburb.

I do not do second chance offers - if you receive one from what appears to be me, please report it directly to eBay. Buyer also pays by certified funds. Sorry, NO PAYPAL on this item. Bid only if you intend to buy and e-mail me with shipping questions or concerns prior to bidding on my item. Deadbeat bidders will receive negative feedback from me.

You are looking at a rare set of rims. These are 1988 Callaway Corvette rims. There are four rims included in this auction. These wheels have been completely reconditioned professionally and are ready for your tires and to bolt on. These rims were removed from a Callaway Corvette and the car was later sold. Here is your opportunity to obtain the missing rims for your restoration project or survivor.

To provide a performance image-enhancing boost for Corvette, General Motors did something unusual -- it sought help outside the factory gates, in this case from one Reeves Callaway, who'd made a name for himself by force-feeding engines with turbochargers. Callaway had been a promising racing driver in the early seventies with an SCCA Formula Vee championship to his credit and, after a stint as an instructor at the Bob Bondurant performance driving school, began to employ his engineering talents finding ways to boost the output of production cars. The cars he developed for GM and which are known as Callaway Twin Turbo Corvettes were made available as a regular production option (RPOB2K) and more than 500 were built between 1987 and 1991. Among them was one very special version, the 880-hp Callaway SledgeHammer, which ran almost 410 km/h on Ohio's Transportation Research Track.

I am a Corvette collector myself with several cars. I would be happy to personally talk to a potential bidder about the rims or answer any questions you may have. The reserve is a MODEST $1000 for the set. Due to these rims being nearly 10 years old, they are sold strictly as-is-as-shown. Please bid accordingly. Buyer agrees to pay a flat $100 shipping fee (4 boxes) within the lower 48 States. You can also pickup the rims in Franklin, Wisconsin, (near Milwaukee, or about 1.5 hours from Chicago). Good luck.

You are looking at a very nice original 1986 John Deere 420 with a VERY low 654 hours that I am selling for the local dealer. This lawn and garden tractor is the big brother to the 318, 322, 332 and similar to the 430 but has the gas Onan and not the Yanmar Diesel. These tractors are considered by many to bDeere tractor ever produced. The 420 features a forged frame, cast rear end, bullet proof transmission, hydro, hydraulic lift, triple hydraulics, 20 real HP Onan powerplant with oil pressure and filter, 2 speed rear transaxle, lights, power steering, and a 60" deck. These are not the Home Depot specials that last 3-4 years, this is probably the last tractor you may own!

This tractor is ready to tackle the fast growing grass from the much needed rain or snow removal this winter. This tractor looks and runs excellent. This tractor has been recently serviced and does not leak or use any oil. The hydrostatic drive performs flawlessly. The paint is all original and the tractor cuts lawns beautifully. As stated, this tractor has its nice original paint with only some minor chips and scratches from normal use. I have seen many tired and beat 318, 420 and 430 tractors locally and on eBay and this is not one of them - this has been well taken care of and the pride of ownership shows. Just look at the super straight deck, the nuts and bolts, etc on this tractor.

The only problem I find is that once in a while, it will turn over funny and then start up. This was diagnosed as the starter years ago but has been used the way it is as it does not affect operation. Maybe a starter replacement sometime would be a good idea. The top of the hood has paint with a bit of discoloring. I would probably buff the tractor. The tractor was not cleaned for the pictures - it will detail out nicely.

This is much larger than anything Home Depot, Sears or others sell. Even at the Deere dealer, there is not much today that is built as heavy duty - unless you get into the X series and spend $12,000+. Many people even argue those are not built as well. This tractor will accept a host of hydraulically controlled available attachments (not included).

The history surrounding this remarkable piece is truly amazing. During World War II, an airline by the name of Pan American World Airways dropped all of its commercial flights and flew exclusively for the U.S. Military. Airports owned by Pan American located in the Pacific and Asia were used as military bases. In the mid 1950s, Pan Am was second only to Coca Cola in worldwide name recognition. Pan Am became the global leader in transcontinental travel by jet.

As a result of their rigorous flight schedules, Pan Am pilots were the first afflicted by “jet lag,” a condition caused by making frequent jumps between time zones. Pan Am’s founder, Juan Trippe, became the first airline tycoon. He theorized that if pilots had a watch that would help them keep track of the time in their current time zone as well as their home time zone, the effects of jet lag would be milder. The original Rolex GMT master watch was developed by Rolex and Pan Am exclusively for Pam Am pilots, first officers, and navigators in 1958.

Obviously, a wonderful relationship developed between Rolex and the airline known as America’s Imperial Airline. When Pan Am constructed its worldwide headquarters on 45th Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan, Rolex presented Juan Trippe with a gift designed to adorn the flagship ticket office. The Pan Am building (now the Met Life building), has it’s own history. At the time it was built, the Pan Am building was the world's largest corporate office building, and became the catalyst for the corporate architectural revolution that you see along lower Park Avenue.

In the early 1970s Pan Am purchased too many 747s from Boeing, and the world oil crisis hit the airline industry hard. In 1980, Pan Am purchased National Airlines at a price far above its value. Unfortunately, Pan Am encountered financial hardship as a result of these events. The infamous Lockerbie crash of 1988 devastated the already ailing airline. Pan Am was flying half empty planes, and soon became unable to pay their employees. The once thriving company, which pioneered the international airline business, collapsed in 1991, and the Pan Am building was sold to Metropolitan Life Insurance.

Amazingly, the gift presented to Juan Trippe in 1965, which hung proudly in the Pan Am building until 1991, is available in this auction. This phenomenal piece is truly a one-of-a-kind. The clock is 38 inches in diameter, and as you would guess, keeps impeccable time.

We are selling this on consignment. You are looking at a rare car - a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury, 383 automatic on the floor, buckets, console, and the right colors. Best of all, it is a completely unmolested survivor. In addition, this is a once in a lifetime find as far as originality.

The paint appears to be original, but as you can see it is faded and has some rust. The body panels are about the best I have seen on a car of this vintage and the underbody is extremely clean. The interior also appears to be original. The engine and components also appear to be original.

This car runs and drives well, but needs a front end alignment and front tires. It really should be checked over and any small kinks worked out. The headlights all work, including high beams, the brake and running lights all work, the directionals work, it stops well and is smooth, even at 55 MPH. I would trailer it home given the age. It also hesitates a bit, especially when cold, but idles very smoothly. (correct size).

I am a collector myself with several cars. I would be happy to personally talk to a potential bidder about the car or answer any questions you may have. The owner would be happy to show the car to anyone. Please look at the tags and do your homework. This car would be a great max wedge or Hemi clone.

In conclusion, this may be one of the most original 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury models on the planet, and probably with the most reasonable reserve. The reserve is VERY MODEST - a steal for everything you are getting and WELL under market or what others in worse or non original condition have sold for recently.

Note this car is titled and the owner has had it a number of years. The title is free and clear, mileage unknown and it reads exempt for mileage as the car is over 20 years old. Payment will need to be made to me. You are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car in person by appointment prior to bidding or the end of the sale. You can also contact someone local to inspect the car for you. Please e-mail me if you are interested. If this car does not sell, it goes in storage during the winter and will be sold in the spring.
