The dates for the Great Texas Mopar<sub>\u00ae<\/sub> Hoard Auction Event have been set! The 250-plus project cars will all sell on October 13<sup>th<\/sup> and the parts, tools and automobilia will sell on October 14<sup>th<\/sup>. And remember, this is an <strong><em>online-only <\/em><\/strong>auction. All vehicles and parts are located in Texas and will need to be transported to their new owners\u2019 homes after the auction. But that\u2019s an easy matter and Spanky\u2019s Freedom Car Auctions is all set to help arrange shipping and freight activities with major auto transport companies who are standing ready with dozens of big rigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major detail about the Great Texas Mopar Auction Event is that every single item will be sold at <strong><em>no reserve<\/em><\/strong>. If you\u2019re new to the auction world, a \u201creserve\u201d is when the seller (consignor) seeks to protect his or her items from unrealistically low bids by placing a \u201creserve\u201d. This way, if a certain assumed value isn\u2019t reached during bidding, the item is protected and doesn\u2019t sell as it \u201cfails to meet the reserve\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, Spanky\u2019s Freedom Car Auctions and the estate of the\nlate John Haynie are willing to roll the dice and let the chips fall where they\nmay by eliminating the reserve. The ultimate goal of the event is to get these\nfantastic vehicles <strong><em>back into <\/em><\/strong>circulation. The late John Haynie did the world a\nhuge favor by hoarding these classics. But now that he\u2019s moved on, they deserve\nto find caring homes and new lives on the open road \u2013 or car show circuit \u2013 as\nthe case may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt, many bidders will come away with exceptional\nvalues. That\u2019s the nature \u2013 and thrill &#8211; of no-reserve auctions. And that\u2019s why\nthis event is sure to make collector car history. You can\u2019t afford to miss it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So until the October 13<sup>th<\/sup> vehicle auction (again, the massive parts, tools and automobilia collection will sell the next day, on October 14<sup>th<\/sup>), let&#8217;s preview more of the 250-plus vehicles that make up the Great Texas Mopar Auction Event.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.assiter.com\/auctions\/6033\/lot\/3826-1956-Dodge-Lancer-Texan-Coupe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"1956 Dodge Texan: Lot #154 (opens in a new tab)\">1956 Dodge Texan: Lot #154<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01-992x744.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"744\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01-992x744.jpg\" alt=\"1956 Dodge Texan\" data-id=\"52585\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/?attachment_id=52585\" class=\"wp-image-52585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01-992x744.jpg 992w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01-576x432.jpg 576w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-01.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02-992x744.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"744\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02-992x744.jpg\" alt=\"1956 Dodge Texan engine\" data-id=\"52586\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/?attachment_id=52586\" class=\"wp-image-52586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02-992x744.jpg 992w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02-576x432.jpg 576w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lot-Number-154-02.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>1956 marked the second year of Virgil Exner\u2019s influence on body styling as lower and wider bodies replaced the boxy, upright designs of 1954 and before. This 1956 Dodge Royal Lancer wears the regional Texan trim package. Its one of just 289 Texans built to help Texas Dodge dealers stimulate showroom traffic. A beautiful restoration on a solid rust-free platform, it packs the 315-cubic-inch Red Ram polyspherical V8, with a two-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, the two-speed Powerflite automatic transmission \u2013 with first-year push button controls and manual drum brakes with manual steering. Other goodies include optional Motor Wheel 15&#215;5.5 chromed wire wheels and modern air conditioning added on for comfortable summer cruising. Of the 48,780 Dodge Royals built in 1956, only 289 were built with the Texan package. This beauty has been shown and comes with a sign board describing its rarity.

After all, most of them are basically muscle cars with a second set of doors \u2013 and a badge. This 1988 Plymouth Gran Fury is something special. While most law enforcement agencies scrub away all traces of their former identity before selling used cruisers at public auction, somehow this former Ohio State Patrol AHB (Plymouth\u2019s code for police equipment in 1988) unit escaped into Haynie\u2019s hands in complete condition! That means it\u2019s still got the M.P.H. Industries K55 radar unit, Federal Signal Corporation \u201cInterceptor\u201d radio and siren controller, General Electric tuning equipment and Jet-Sonic roof-mounted emergency lights. Usually, police car collectors pay a fortune to reunite this type of equipment with former cruisers. Not here, it&#8217;s still present! Though 1988 police models lacked the 360s and 440s of earlier Mopar squad cars, the ELE code 318 in this one made 175 horsepower and was the hottest rear-wheel-drive offering in Plymouth\u2019s otherwise mostly front-wheel-drive lineup of the late 1980s. It\u2019s also got the AHB-spec certified 125-mph speedometer, full gauge package \u2013 plus a supplemental mechanical oil pressure gauge installed by the Ohio fleet garage. As a last-gasp rear-drive police model (1989 marked the final year for Gran Fury police units), it deserves a special place in someone\u2019s collection. And yes, it comes with the magnetic \u201cout of service\u201d body banners you\u2019ll need for street driving.

Like the Texan, this recently painted example packs the Red Ram polyspherical head V8 with a two-barrel carburetor (with either 270 or 315 cubes, exact size is unknown) backed by the two-speed Powerflite push button automatic transmission. But unlike the Texan, this one is a little less ready for the road because its rear window glass is removed and an in-process headliner installation hangs from the interior roof. We\u2019re told the glass and trim are included. A magnet test reveals solid outer body skin and serviceable two-tone plum and black paint. This 1956 rides on Dodge&#8217;s final-edition coil spring front suspension (torsion bars replaced them in \u201957) and has first-year 12-volt electricals to better run the headlamps and original equipment AM radio. It&#8217;s clean and needs only a few days&#8217; effort to be back on the cruise circuit.

Sweeping \u201cbrows\u201d over the quad headlamps gave every \u201959 Dodge a sinister vibe, which some have called a \u201cnightmare in steel\u201d, especially when viewed in your rearview mirror as one accelerates to pass. And that\u2019s cool \u2026 if you ask us. But while top-level power came from the new 383-cubic-inch wedge with optional Super D500 dual quad induction, this humble Coronet four-door sedan has the base 318 polyspherical head V8 with a single two-barrel. But inside, where the typical push-button pod would go to the left of the steering wheel, this one has the less-is-more column-shifted three-speed manual gearbox! That\u2019s important because of the 151,851 Dodge passenger cars built in 1959, just <strong><em>six percent <\/em><\/strong>had manual transmissions (the other 94 percent were automatics). Sporting solid and rust-free front fenders \u2013 a rarity, especially where the headlamp \u201cbrows\u201d tended to rust through within a few years \u2013 the rest of the body is equally sweet, though a few small patches are visible on the trunk floor. Though its been dormant for a few years and likely needs a brake and coolant system flush before use, this humble yet sinister family sedan awaits your commands.

In fact, a handful of home-brewed, non-factory HEMI C-bodies campaigned in 1965. This 1965 Plymouth Fury II has the base level two-door pillar sedan body style and would make an ideal starting point for a \u201cwhat-if\u201d 1965 Street HEMI phantom build. Originally built with the 318 polyspherical head V8 and TorqueFlite<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> automatic with power steering and manual drum brakes and an AM radio, a later Chrysler small block with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor has been bolted down in its place. Still awaiting connections to the radiator, throttle linkage, exhaust and related support systems, the body is quite rust free though a few spots of bubble-through exist on the front fender and the trunk floor has been patched.
