Hi. Thanks to you, after reading some of your posts, I was able to solve a mystery. A few months ago, I bid on a bunch of “junk” on a MN online estate auction. I bid on several “lots” of car parts and other stuff. Most of the stuff wasn’t shown online and I had no idea how much stuff I was really getting until I got to MN to pick it up. After 3 hours of loading up inside of a dirt floor Quonset on a 90 degree day, my son and I were completely covered in dirt and sweat. We looked like Sanford and Son driving back to ND. Anyway, when I got home and started rummaging through stuff, I noticed I had a lot of MG parts. There was a box of about 60 Grand Duchess new emblems in the package, 6 reproduction grills, tons of chrome parts, oodles of headlights, brake parts, engine parts, bulbs, tail lights, along with many unidentifiable parts. There were also tons of Ford and Chevy parts. My entire 3 car garage is filled with car parts. I have been selling some slowly on eBay but it has taken me forever just to research the parts. I kept seeing bags of unopened parts with “Classic Roadsters Ltd” and “Leisure sports”, both out of Fargo, ND. Well, now I know that I have many parts from Mr. Rutherford’s businesses. I see that he sold Classic Roadsters to Don Scott from Sauke Center and he started up Classic Roadsters II and MN Classic Motorsports. Well, I just found out that the auction I was at was in his Quonset. He passed away a few years ago suddenly and his wife was selling all of his car parts. Thanks so much for your help. Now more of these parts make a little more sense. I also have some of the boat parts from Leisure Sports. So…if anyone is in need of any new old stock parts and other used parts for their kit cars, I have tons of parts from MG’s, Healeys, Fords, Chevys, and others I probably don’t even know about. I’m selling all of this because we are moving to AZ before it really gets cold here in ND! I hate to drag it all with me. Thanks again for your help.
