Found the following on another forum.

We just purchased a site unseen storage facility. To our luck one of the shops had 13 T-Birds from 55, 56, 57 all convertible and in great condition as well as a huge array of parts. We will be pricing out the cars later, but for now we have tons of parts. If you are looking for a hard to find part I bet we have it. You can email me at thaddeus333@hotmail.com with the part you are looking for and I will get back to you with availability and price. If I have posted this listing in the wrong spot please tell me where it would be more appropriate.

Sounds a bit fishy to me. I would be cautious.

I agree with Dan.  I can't imagine anyone "forgetting" they had 13 early Birds stored and just letting them go at auction, sight unseen.

Yes, sounds to me like a late April fools joke! And even if the cars exist, how could they auction off cars they don't own, when there's no signed transfer papers?...

The storage company can own them if they've been abandoned. Around here, one can claim ownership of an abandoned vehicle after a year. An attempt does have to be made to contact the owner before the process is finished, though. I agree it is fishy but you never know. Could be a case of husband passed away, wife doesn't give a damn about his things and stopped paying the storage fee.

Ditto on what Charlie says.  That happens a lot in my neck of the woods in regards to storage bins.  A friend of mine ended up with a very clean four speed hotrod engined ’57 scrub two door hardtop that was essentially left (abandoned) in a storage bin.  With the bill of sale from the storage company, he had no problem in getting a new title after a vin # search was performed insuring the vehicle was neither stolen or had a lien again it.  He wasn’t a scrub guy but this was just too good a deal to pass up.
