Great story and just the type of thing I'd like to be lucky enough to 
fall into. I had a similar  experience back in the summer of 73 when the 
local Ford/Monarch dealer had a close out auction sale.
I really messed up and missed out on so many good items in  the auction 
but I was just a kid out of school without much money or expertise at 
bidding in auctions. It was raining  heavy and  the old building was 
leaking on the crowd gathered inside. I was determined not to go home 
empty handed so bid on a stack of service manuals. No idea what I paid 
but it would have to be cheap. Complete set of shop manuals for 1966 
Ford built cars and  trucks. I've used those over the years many times.
But the best bargain was at the end of the auction when they sold off an 
old wooden granary at the back of the lot that had been used to store  
miscellaneous junk and  parts. The guy that bought it only wanted the 
building and I was lucky enough to  get  the contents. He said I could 
have  it all free if I just loaded it all up and got it out of there. I 
was feeling generous though so I gave him a dollar for it all.
Came home with the box of the old International pickup loaded down with 
a real treasure trove of stuff including some N.O.S. Ford stuff that  I 
did not even recognize at the time. I even got my money back when 
another guy saw a jack in among  the stuff and  I sold it to him for a 
dollar. It was a great day.
