All buttoned back up for now. My luck will be that someone wants something in the very back. I moved close to 50 machines during the day. I put about 10 more machines onto the trailer, and put the 61.5, the 64 and the 67 24-inch in my holding queue for work and hopefully reactivation this summer.
Here are some of those that escaped the trailer's clutch
This is the 1980 built 80-series machine that I bought for my sister in 1989, thus starting the washer rebuild fever for me. It now resides in my laundry room inside but was photographed here in the garage in 2008.

Here is a 1975 Kenmore 70 - a VERY cool machine if you ask me with it's quiet pak belt and the gold Penta-Swirl which was pictured in the original trailer picture atop another 1977 machine.
There were three of these baking in Arizona back in May.

Here is a 1979 Kenmore 500 that was shown in another of the original trailer pics. I have come to really like this machine. It was quite a pos when I got it.
The '79 500 has taken on the affectionate name "Annie", as dubed by a buddy of mine in Charlotte whom I met through this great site. Here she is doing what she was made for...
Here is the 1977 Kenmore 70 that is partially shown under the gold Penta-Vane agitator in the original trailer pic. I acquired it from Sears in fall 1990, in a sad condition. It had been used to wash mop heads, and absolutely WREAKED of nasty feet. SO GROSS...it stunk up my whole garage on warm summer days. After replacing the basket and outer tub (whatever they used to wash the mops ate the porcelain of BOTH tubs), here it is during a water test looking much better than it had. I use it regularly now.
She fills right to the top. This machine has come to be known as "Moppy".
If anyone is interested in a machine that I have shown here, please let me know either through a post or by e-mail. The 65 Ladies would be the most expensive, some are much cheaper or FREE.

Davek - actually that car is a 1986 Mustang LX 5.0 sedan (Mustangs are another passion of mine). I rescued it from insurance salvage in L.A. in 2004. It was at a buddy's body shop from October 2004 to April 2007 while they worked on it when time allowed.

Nice Car KenmoreGuy
That's a nice looking car for it's age. These cars don't age well here at all, I'm in KY and they're almost all rust buckets, the newer 89+ models were much better for some reason but I like the front fascia a lot more on the earlier 80's models. Also the 5.0 LX notchback here is SUPER rare. Is your car FI or carbed?
Sorry, I also have a slight car addiction, nice car though.

I am absolutely speechless. I don't know if I can quantify the amount of joy I am experiencing looking at these photos. However I must say the two 1970 500 model twins do take the cake. The interior shot with the gold str8 vane is to die for. Bar none that is my favorite agitator of all, especially the ones with the gold caps. Those are perhaps one of the most dramatic Kenmore agitators, especially if you are washing on a medium or small load. My aunt had one that had the chrome lid handle, but hers had a manual filter just like the 1969 500 in the other thread. That washer inspired my love of Kenmores, and my heart races every time I see one of these.
That 1964 model 70 is a knockout as well. I think this is the first time we've really seen a good photo of one.
Thank you so much for sharing these photos, especially the twin 500s and interior shot I appreciate those most.
Have a good one,
James

This is not the forum, but here's the car since the subject came up. One of my favorites, especially since I saved it from scrap.

Wow
She's a beauty, and a fast one at that. The 5.0 is such a simple, reliable workhorse. At work we have an old Crown Vic with the 5.0 in it, it has well over 200k and the car has really required minimal repair. You're right, I guess this isn't really the forum for it
My many compliments though, and both the car and the collection
