This auction might be worth the drive down to check out just for the fun of it. Doubt I could afford to buy a dixie cup from them but wow what a collection.

Research first. I've seen some high end auctions have sizable entrance fees to keep out looky-loos.

In reply to Ian F: Sadly you are correct they do sometimes hit you with a few to aquire a bidder number or even more for a catalog of the sale. I am not expecting a Barret Jackson type entrance fee but it's worth a look before making the 3+ hour trip. Maybe I need to find a richish friend to glom onto as their helper so I can slide under the Radar.

I'll take the blue pickup truck and the machine shop portion.

And maybe the yellow Corvette.

Oh, that's $335,000 total, you say? Do you accept payment in beer?

Possibly. I'm just recalling a recent episode of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne attends a professionally run estate auction that in some ways was similar to this one. There was a shot of him going through the entrance and there was a sign: Entrance fee: $100. Chump change to those bidding on $100K+ cars, but will likely keep out the riff-raff with no money like us.
