Historic Botkins Two-Story — Online Auction Opening Bid Only $150,000 • Sells with Owner Confirmation Bidding Closes Tuesday, September 15 at 2:00 PM ET Some houses were simply built better. This one has stood in the heart of Botkins since about 1900, and it still wears the craftsmanship that came standard back then — a slate roof overhead, original oak woodwork and trim running through the house, classic pocket doors, high ceilings, and hardwood floors underfoot. In the dining room, the original art deco light fixtures and sconces are still doing their work. What sets this one apart is that the character survived without the house being left behind. The kitchen and baths have been updated, and all appliances stay. The HVAC and water heater have been updated, and the home carries a 200-amp electric service with village water, village sewer, and natural gas. There is more room here than the footprint suggests. A first-floor den with a closet and window gives you a flexible space right off the main floor, and the partially finished basement adds usable square footage below. Out back, a newly built accessible ramp makes the rear entry easy to reach, and a two-car detached garage opens onto the alley. The location is the part you cannot build. The home sits right in the middle of town, with the Botkins Local School grounds adjoining the property to the north. The village pool and playground are only steps away. And when you need to go anywhere else, I-75 access is less than a minute from the door — a combination of small-town setting and highway convenience that is genuinely hard to find. Botkins is known for its schools; this is Trojan country. The property is not located in a flood zone. The opening bid is only $150,000, and the property sells with owner confirmation. Come see it, do your homework, and bid what it is worth to you.

2005 Ford Crown Victoria Armored Car

Most Crown Victorias that come through an auction ring have 200,000 miles on them and a story about a police department. This one has 35,962 miles and a story about somebody who needed to get home safely. This 2005 was sent to O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt — the outfit that built armor for presidential limousines — and came back with ballistic plating, Kevlar™ flooring, and armored ballistic glass all the way around. The numbers tell you how serious the work was: a stock Crown Vic carries a GVWR right around 5,600 pounds. This one is rated at 7,304. That's roughly 1,700 pounds of protection built into a car that still looks like every other gray sedan in the parking lot, which is exactly the point. Underneath it all it's still a Panther-platform Crown Victoria with the 4.6L V8 — a drivetrain that runs forever and that any shop in the country can work on. Leather power seats, air conditioning, full-size spare, new battery just installed. Now the honest part, because that's how we do it: there is a stress fracture in the rear window. It's disclosed, you can see it, and you should factor it into your bid. This is a twenty-one-year-old vehicle selling as-is, and we make no representation as to what ballistic rating this armor package meets or whether it still performs to its original spec. If that matters to you — and it should — inspect it, bring somebody who knows armored vehicles, and satisfy yourself before you bid. What we can tell you is that it's a genuinely rare car in genuinely good condition with mileage most collectors would call low for a five-year-old vehicle, let alone one this age. Buy it as a curiosity, buy it as a conversation piece, or buy it because you drive somewhere that makes you think about it. "Life is Precious — Protect It." Selling subject to owner confirmation.
