Lambrecht Chevrolet of Pierce, Neb., was like many Midwestern, small-town dealers — owned and operated by a family, with minimal overhead and little need for advertising since most customers were neighbors. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht ran the dealership with just one employee for 50 years before closing up, and later this year the Lambrechts will sell off a trove of 500-odd vehicles they’ve held onto over the decades — including roughly 50 with less than 10 miles on their odometers. It’s less a car sale than a time capsule auction. > **[Autoblog: New Cars, Used Cars for Sale, Car Reviews and News](https://www.autoblog.com/?ncid=yalnk01)** > > Autoblog brings you automotive news; expert reviews of cars, trucks, crossovers and SUVs; and pictures and video.

Thats pretty damn awesome… but that kind of shit has me wondering what kind of restoration process a car would need to go through to even function again? Yes they have only one mile on some of them but they were stored in a non climate controlled garage. Those motors and transmissions cant possible work after all those years of sitting could they?? ---

Very cool find, should fetch some decent money. Makes you wonder how many more of these types of stories are out there. I know there is a former Honda dealer in Canada that closed, with a cherry mint shape '89 Crx Si with just over 18k miles on it. There is also the abandoned BMW dealership in Ontario with stock still on the show floor. > [@Mr. T](#): > > Those motors and transmissions cant possible work after all those years of sitting could they?? Why wouldn’t they? I’ve seen motors turn over that were older than this, with a little massaging have run without an issue. ---

I think if you replaced the fluids and filters, with a slight tune up and a fresh battery, they should fire right up? ---

Pretty neat to see some of these cars untouched for 40+ years, factory plastic still on the seats. Had no idea there was 500 total cars, was this a high volume dealer at one time? ---
