When Covid came to rule the world, in-person auctioneering was suspended indefinitely. Pretty much anything in-person was suspended indefinitely. But for the auction world, it was an especially critical blow to business that left one alternative, go online. The next thing we knew, we were all buying and selling things online, a time during which we all learned a lot. We even learned who our friends were. So many complaints came in regarding this online platform or that one about how they were declining so many cool cars. Why would they do that? Many reasons, but in response, a new company has emerged, Car Corral. Frustrated with online auction offerings, the Ochs brothers got together and decided they could build at least a friendlier and more fun mousetrap, welcoming enthusiasts from all walks of life. When I first met Chris Ochs over the phone a few months back, I was excited to hear what he and his family were doing, bringing a new platform to car fanatics where we could sell or buy anything from a late-model BMW to a winged MoPar to anything in between. Sounds like a great place to play around. Take a peek at what they’ve got going on below, I’m looking forward to that platform for car guys, by car guys.
It takes a lot to reinvent the wheel, and while Car Corral isn’t exactly seeking to do that, it is looking to bring back a sense of normalcy and enthusiasm to the online car auction format. Case in point, browsing the cars on auction right now range from a Plymouth Superbird to the 1962 Corvette to a 1931 Ford pickup to a Toyota Tacoma to a Willys Jeep to a Metro to a Mazda RX7 convertible – on and on it goes, all over the board, it’s a hoot just poking around on the website. The big question on many people’s minds though is why do this? It’s an uphill battle that’s already top heavy with competition – the Ochs family has a basic response, which is they wanted to give real enthusiasts a place to sell their cars. So many online forums now are requiring larger sums of money, or multiple cars, or cars of extremely rare interest – you know, a nicely sorted Ford Taurus SHO need not apply. But that’s not the case at the Car Corral. Here, the insanely rare and exotic are as welcome as the hopped-up Honda Civic or beautifully aged F100. Take a look at some of their offerings below, maybe you’ve got a car or two you’d like to sell!
