Found in a family members trash after they cleaned out the garage rafters, a rare 1968 Scat Pack Super Bee light sign, for sale on Craigslist



Aprox. 55" wide, 35" Tall, 8" Deep
Aprox. 6 lbs
Plastic with cardboard back.
Original hanging chain attached.
Original 2 prong electrical cord attached.
5 original light sockets attached.


original Dodge Dealer Lighted Scat Pack Super Bee Sign. Found (actually my family whose house this came from dumped it into the trash)  after cleaning out a garage of a family member who had it stored in the rafters. As you can see from the photos, all the light sockets work (non original bulbs) and the plastic does not have any burn marks! Everything is original including the hanging chain.

The seller has already talked to his local Dodge collectors, and the most he's been offered and turned down was 1500, mostly because the Mecum Auction people have raised his expectations to 2007 price levels. His other problem is not wanting to ship the sign. Wow, talk about narrowing your possible buyers to your own area code.

The Mendanhall's Museum of Petroliana





I think, but didn't verify, that this license plate collection has one California plate from each year

There is a story about the above outdoor phone booth... it was knocked off it's foundation after a birth of a baby celebration got a bit inebriated behind the wheel.... anyway, the next day the phone company man was smooth talked and he told them about the below indoor wooden phone booth that was taking up space in the phone company basement... and they got it to add to the collection!
































I didn't get the info on what kind of bike the above is

Above appears to be a 1938 Ford







Awesome BBQ cooker
