Due to the talk with the Doc, it looks like Bob's Antique Auto Parts will be liquidating

Doc says time to make some major changes,NOW
I have decided to start a liquidation sale starting in a few weeks, not good news from the doc. so do not want to leave the family in the dark on this, The company is going to be listed for sale at a very reasonable and lowered price for a few weeks, if no sale then I will start the sale, also we have a lot of patterns and match plates that I might split up for some folks to buy and start making some of these parts, the price of the company is a steel for what is here, can be sold with or without the building, it can be bought as the whole company, or Manufacturing with all machines or can be sold with the retail and used parts or retail and used parts can be sold separately, my personal toy collection will also be going up for sale, it has been a pleasure serving all of you for more than sixty two years,
if anyone is serious, please give me a call to talk, 815-633-7244
there are 3 buildings full of T parts
I will post this on the forum also
been fun, Bob
