After 35 years in business, CTC Auto Ranch is closing its doors. The final date has not been set yet, but the wheels of change have started to roll. We're 70 years old now and it's time to enjoy what's left of the rest of our lives.
Despite numerous attempts at selling the business over the last several years, we were unsuccessful. The value of the land has simply outpaced the value of the business and it's been difficult for it to make good financial sense for prospective buyers. We kept hoping for an extremely rich guy with a penchant for rusty gold to show up, but that hasn't happened either.
We made the difficult decision to start crushing inventory last week, beginning with the old parts cars that have been picked over. This was not how we planned to go out, but the economic climate is so uncertain that we had to make a move now. We still have our project cars and some whole parts cars for an auction soon - so stay tuned if you're interested in picking up something to work on.
In the meantime, we are open Tues-Wed-Thurs from 9am-4pm. We'd love for you to come by and see if we've got something you can use.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank the thousands of customers near and far who have supported our small family owned business over the last three decades. We were able to make a modest living while doing a dream job. That's something to be happy about and proud of.
Allen & David
