There was an earlier auction. Few years ago now. Some was sent overseas.

And Ford don't care about aftermarket parts now. They were scrapped.

They also have channels outside of auctions for getting rid of factory equipment.

Aftermarket parts have been made and stored.

Stamping dies are scrapped.
