BUENA PARK >> A Model T Ford, Snoopy’s roadster and two hearses from Knott’s Berry Farm’s Halloween Haunt are among the memorabilia the more than 75-year-old theme park is auctioning off in March.

“We’re putting together an auction that represents the whole history of the farm,” said Jim Lentz of Heritage Auctions. More than 200 lots are planned.

Besides the vehicles, there will be western paintings by Paul von Klieben once displayed in the Knott’s Steakhouse. An 1893 painting by Henry H. Cross is nearly 10-feet wide.

Fans can bid on pieces from rides no longer at Knott’s, including animatronics bears from “Knott’s Beary Tales” and figures from the Timber Mountain Log Ride and the Calico Mine Train Ride before they were refurbished a few years ago.

Raffi Kaprelyan, vice president of Cedar Fair, owners of Knott’s, decided to hold the auction to make room at the park.

“The auction gives Knott’s the opportunity to share a bit of history with a global audience of collectors, historians and loyal Knott’s Berry Farm guests,” he said in a statement.

Bidders can purchase the marquee sign for the long gone “Haunted Shack;” a three-foot gauge steam engine that needs refurbishment; or a wagon used to haul Borax from mines near Death Valley.

Many of the items have not been seen for years, stored in warehouse and nooks and crannies throughout the park. The second floors and attics of the Ghost Town buildings have not been ideal locations for keeping the memorabilia in good condition, park officials said.

“Knott’s is getting rid of a lot of their history and the silver lining is that it will go into the hands of those who care,” said Eric Lynxwiler, co-author of “Knott’s Preserved,” who said he is interested in many of the items.

Walter Knott built up an extensive collection of coin-operated player pianos enjoyed by visitors. But those who knew how to fix the aging instruments have left or died. More than a dozen are included in the auction, along with a number of the rolls of heavy paper that provided the music.

Ken Stack has collected several Knott’s items for a theme park museum he is planning near Temecula.

“Knott’s Berry Farm was a park I grew up with,” he said. “I hope some of the items can go to good homes like ours, a museum where people can come and visit to see the pieces they recall.”

Heritage Auctions expects to have ready a catalog of all the items available in late February. The auction is planned for late March in the park’s Charles M. Schulz Theatre, but a date has not yet been announced. Those interested will be able to view the items for one week prior to the auction, Lentz said.
