Barrett-Jackson, Palm Beach, Florida, April 8-10, 2016<\/p>\n

Barrett-Jackson\u2019s East Coast bridgehead pulled in nearly record results, surpassed only by the sale totals in 2006 and 2007 when Palm Beach was as yet undiluted by a growing number of Barrett-Jackson spinoff events and the economy was riding high before the onset of the Great Recession.<\/p>\n

At its inception Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach showed the strength of the Florida market. That market is now abundantly exploited by other auctions but Barrett-Jackson\u2019s continuing success here \u2013 and its steadily increasing sale totals since the low point of 2011 \u2013 demonstrate the appeal of the Barrett-Jackson \u2018event\u2019 formula.<\/p>\n

Palm Beach is literally thronged by spectators. Whether they\u2019re attracted by the cars, by the host of vendors and exhibitors or simply drawn by Barrett-Jackson\u2019s aura and outsized television presence makes little difference to the spectacle. It is a sea of humanity activated by the packed auction arena, a steady stream of celebrities, both automotive and human, and a carefully curated sequence of auction vehicles.<\/p>\n

While the makeup of the Palm Beach docket, as reflected in the Median Sale data below, is weighted toward affordable, accessible cars in medium 5-figures the overall sale total and resulting Average Sale is giving greater emphasis to higher value consignments. The Median is up 6.7% from 2015 while the Average is up 30.6%. Sixty-four lots hammered sold on bids of $100,000 or more. That is exactly double the thirty-two $100,000 or more lots in 2015.<\/p>\n

The diversity of Barrett-Jackson\u2019s Palm Beach auction docket is not accurately reflected in the cars that follow in this report. As at other Barrett-Jackson sales a large number are street rods, Resto-Mods (a category formalized by B-J years ago) and customs. By their nature such vehicles are individual and tell us little about the market since each is comparable only with itself. As a result we look past them to find examples that are presented in largely stock configuration, a bias that obscures some of the appeal of Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

Here are the overall numbers:<\/p>\n

Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach 2016 – Auction Report<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 27 1974 MG B Mk III Roadster; S\/N GHN5UE353828G; Red\/Brown vinyl; Black vinyl top; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $9,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $10,450. No Reserve. \u2013 Goodyear Viva tires, modern Sony CD stereo. \u2013 Late chrome bumper car. Fully restored five years ago. Originally brown. Luggage rack included but not fitted. Very good paint, chrome and interior. Fully done over to almost like new condition and used sparingly since. \u2013 A spot on result for a lightly used restored chrome bumper B roadster, proving it\u2019s not necessary to spend a lot to experience and enjoy a classic sports car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 28 1968 MG B GT Coupe; S\/N GHD4U142416G; Green\/Black vinyl piped in White; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $14,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $15,400. No Reserve. \u2013 Wire wheels, Michelin narrow whitewalls, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel, pushbutton radio. \u2013 Tired old chrome. Good paint. A few small dents right below the windshield. Some very small chips on the tail with surface rust poking through. Driver\u2019s side door isn\u2019t flush. Very good interior. Never fully restored, but gotten attention when necessary. A 20-foot car. \u2013 While this is a bit expensive for a GT in this condition, but it\u2019s a solid and pretty classic sports car for barely five figures and when you look at it that way it\u2019s still a pretty good value. It was reported sold at Mecum\u2019s Kissimmee auction three months ago for $14,300, a very expensive ownership experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 29 1949 Crosley Hot Shot Roadster; S\/N VC20014; White\/Black vinyl; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $9,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $10,450. No Reserve. \u2013 Body color steel wheels with hub caps, rear-mounted spare wheel, bucket seats, aftermarket fuel, oil pressure, amp and water temp gauges, factory radio with AM\/FM CD player under the driver\u2019s seat.. \u2013 Represented as the 14th Hot Shot built and with 400 miles on a rotisserie restoration. Incorrect tinted Plexiglas wind wings are bolted into the windshield frame and just don\u2019t look right. Clean engine bay. Wavy body sides. Average quality respray. Small cracks in the steering wheel. Huge cute factor, and restored but not overly so. These cars were always just toys for the most part, and that\u2019s still very much what this one is. \u2013 This was remarkably inexpensive. It could have brought another five grand without being expensive and even then the value of its cuteness hasn\u2019t caught up with even a neglected bubble car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 38 1979 Jeep J10 Townside Pickup 4\u00d74; S\/N J9A25NN067066; Blue\/Black vinyl; Truck restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $31,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $34,650. No Reserve. \u2013 401\/235hp V-8, automatic, All Terrain T\/A tires, column shift, aftermarket steering wheel, Clarion CD stereo, Quadra-Trac all-wheel drive, black spray-in bedliner, stainless exhaust, dash clock. \u2013 Body-off restored. Some chips and dings and scratches on the grille. Dull bumper. Clean engine bay. Good paint. Some chips on the rear fenders. Very good interior. Very clean restored frame. Fully done over to truck standards. J10 Jeeps are rarely seen anyway, so this one has to be among the best. \u2013 This is a neat thing and its rarity is remarkable in view of 1979 production of almost 12,000. The bidders responded both to its exceptional condition and wow-factor with a healthy but not unreasonable price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 40 1950 Studebaker Commander 2-Dr. Sedan; S\/N H432357; Shenandoah Green\/Gray Cloth; Enthusiast restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $22,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $24,200. No Reserve. \u2013 Hub caps and trim rings, Coker Classic whitewalls, overdrive, column shift, factory radio. \u2013 Average quality respray with masking errors around the window and overspray on one of the tires. Older undercoated chassis. Pitted headlight bezels. Good bumper chrome. Good upholstery. Cracked steering wheel rim and cap. Dull but complete original dash. A distinctive bullet nose Studebaker, but done on a budget and in condition that\u2019s not a whole lot better than presentable. \u2013 This is a prodigious price for a barely mediocre Studebaker but the marque and the singular jet-intake design are attention-getting and memorable. Owning and driving one, even in such marginal condition, is an experience that might be worth this much money even though there are many alternatives at a similar cost that would achieve much the same result and be more rewarding to own and drive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 46 1956 Ford Fairlane Country Squire Station Wagon; S\/N M6FX155582; Coral, White\/White vinyl with Red cloth inserts; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $19,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $20,900. No Reserve. \u2013 292\/202hp, 3-speed, spinner wheel covers, store brand all season narrow whitewalls, sun visor, bench seat, column shift, Town & Country radio, three row seating. \u2013 Dull, dirty wheels. Average quality repaint with a chunk taken out of the right front corner of the hood and masking errors around the windows and drip rail. Original side spear trim is straight but dull. Uneven door gaps. Cracked steering wheel cap but otherwise very good restored interior. Older undercoated chassis. Cosmetically restored on a budget a while ago. \u2013 Hammered not sold at Mecum Kissimmee in 2014 at a high bid of $19,500, then reported sold there three months ago for $19,250. It\u2019s a good buy for the new owner, who has money left over to attend to this car\u2019s basic needs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 61 1961 Chrysler New Yorker 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N 8313165749; Red\/Black vinyl with Gray cloth inserts; Older restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $18,500 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $20,350. No Reserve. \u2013 413\/315hp, automatic, wheel covers, Coker Classic whitewalls, dual mirrors, push button automatic, bench seat, original radio but JVC stereo under the dash, factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes. \u2013 Dull, lightly pitted brightwork. Average quality respray with a few runs at the bottom of the windshield. Two small dents in the driver\u2019s side door. Long crack right down the steering wheel cap. Very good newer upholstery. Original dash. Paint coming off the hub caps. Original underneath. A basic driver. \u2013 Sold at Mecum Kissimmee three months ago for $22,000 only to fail to find a receptive audience here at B-J and come up several thousand dollars short of its price so recently. Buying a car of limited appeal to flip as a No Reserve consignment is fraught with risks which the seller here learned the hard way.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 62 1962 Mercury Monterey Colony Park Station Wagon; S\/N 2W72X528081; Bronze, White\/Bronze, White vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $22,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $24,200. No Reserve. \u2013 352\/220hp with 4-barrel carb, 3-speed, wheel covers, American Classic narrow whitewalls, roof rack, bench seat, column shift, pushbutton radio, heater. \u2013 80 miles on full body-off restoration. Uneven door gaps. Body looks straight otherwise. Very good interior. Labor of love on a car that usually doesn\u2019t get this kind of treatment. Surely one of the best Monterey wagons out there. \u2013 Station wagons are enjoying a small surge of popularity and this Mercury fits neatly in the niche. Its 4-barrel should enhance the experience of driving it with the 3-speed stick and the new owner will find little to quibble with its condition. It\u2019s an attractive vehicle that will be enjoyable to drive on evenings and weekends bought advantageously at this price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 89.1 2002 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Convertible; S\/N SCFAB42302K402509; Gold\/Beige leather; Tan cloth top; Unrestored original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve. \u2013 Cross-drilled rotors, alloy wheels, Bridgestone tires, tinted glass, factory radio, power windows, air conditioning. \u2013 Owned by William Shatner, who was on the block to introduce it along with his VW Phaeton. Dirty wheels. Long scrape below the right headlight. Dirty top. Very good, lightly worn interior. Mileage not disclosed. Celebrity owned, but a used car and not a great one. \u2013 William Shatner isn\u2019t Steve McQueen, but his connection to this well-used DB7 Vantage Convertible in this case added a premium of about 10 grand. The premium covered the cost of his travel to Palm Beach to flog it, and then some.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 90 2000 Dodge Viper RT\/10 Convertible; S\/N 1B3ER65E1YV604952; Viper Red\/Cognac leather; Black top; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $33,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $36,300. No Reserve. \u2013 Rear exhaust, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, power windows, air conditioning, Alpine CD stereo. \u2013 Very good original paint with no stone chips on the nose. Window molding is a little dry and crooked. Good, lightly worn interior. A well kept Viper with 18,095 miles. Not immaculate, but not beaten on as many of these cars have been. \u2013 By 2000, the RT\/10 had gone from a spartan roadster with no amenities to a car with power windows and air conditioning. It did have more power, though, and 2000 was the last year before the car got ABS. The later, more refined first generation Vipers command a little more money than the earlier cars, but they still represent a performance bargain and this result was perfectly appropriate given this car\u2019s mileage and condition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 93 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible; S\/N 223677U145981; Regimental Red\/Parchment vinyl; White vinyl top; Enthusiast restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $34,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $37,400. No Reserve. \u2013 326\/250hp, automatic, Rallye wheels, Hankook narrow whitewalls, bucket seats, console, floor shift, console clock, power windows, original radio upgraded to modern stuff compatible with Apple, Bluetooth, etc. PHS documents. \u2013 Originally Verdoro Green. Upgraded exhaust. Decent bumper chrome. Very good paint other than two small touched up chips and a dent at the front of the driver\u2019s side door, which also isn\u2019t flush. Trunk gaps are uneven. Top has a little dirt on it. Very good interior with newer upholstery, but the rest is original. Original, lightly pitted wheels. Restored underneath. Fully restored, but on a budget and set up as a comfortable, pretty cruiser. \u2013 For a car with hotter equipment, this might be a more appropriate result, but for a car with the base two-barrel 236\/250hp and two-speed automatic this is excessive. The seller should be thrilled and commended for having the perspicacity to bring a mundane Firebird to market at a time when Firebirds are bringing premium prices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 102 1961 Triumph TR3A Roadster; S\/N TS74625L; Signal Red\/Red leather piped in White; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $34,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $37,400. No Reserve. \u2013 Steel wheels with hub caps, Silvertown tires, wood shift knob, banjo steering wheel, heater, tonneau cover. \u2013 Body-off restored. Not fresh but quite good paint and chrome. Slightly dirty but not bad engine bay. Touch ups at the front of the passenger\u2019s side door. Lightly worn interior. Not done yesterday, but more than presentable enough and a solid driver. \u2013 This money could have bought a fresher car than this making for an expensive transaction. The seller must have been in the right place at the right time to score this price early in the auction docket.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 106 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible; S\/N 860S10376; Newport Blue\/Blue, Black vinyl; White vinyl top; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $48,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $52,800. No Reserve. \u2013 389\/303hp, automatic, wheel covers, whitewalls, dual mirrors, bucket seats, column shift, WonderBar radio, aftermarket console with cupholders. \u2013 Lightly discolored top. Large paint crack in the nose. The \u201cT\u201d in the middle of the nose is crooked. Pitted, dull mirrors. Sound paint. Very good tri-color upholstery. Decent paint and chrome. A standard older restoration that\u2019s seen its fair share of top-down enjoyment. \u2013 Sold at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in 2010 for $41,800, it has given good service in the meantime and brought a meaningful profit for the seller with this full retail result.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 125 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N 228870L102707; Polar White, Lucerne Blue\/Black vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $44,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $48,400. No Reserve. \u2013 400\/345hp Ram Air III, automatic, Polyglas GT tires, dual mirrors, factory air conditioning, AM\/FM 8-track stereo, console, Soft Ray glass, PHS documents. \u2013 Represented as numbers matching. Aero trim doesn\u2019t fit flush. Very good correct repaint and original interior. Very clean and restored underneath. A 2014 body-on restoration to almost like-new while retaining original bits when possible. \u2013 Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2013 for the exact same price with 1,262 fewer miles on the odometer. These cars have increased in value since then, however, so while the 2013 result was appropriate, this one is much more favorable to the buyer and an astute buy during something of a run on Trans Ams.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 138 1938 BMW 320 Coupe; S\/N 93343; Red, Black\/Red leather; Older restoration, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve. \u2013 1971\/45hp, 4-speed, disc wheels, hub caps, floor shift. \u2013 Represented as an older restoration. Seats are original with cracked and dirty leather. Erratically done older repaint. Dull chrome. Pitted hub caps. Chips at the back of the driver\u2019s side door. Dirty but complete engine bay. Cracks in the steering wheel. Dull original gauges. Paint flaking off the wheels. Older undercoat on the frame. Paint coming off of the door hinges. A car with potential, and hopefully the next owner will give it a full restoration, because it would be neat to see this car shined up on a show field. One of the more unusual offerings at this sale. \u2013 Hammered not sold by RM in Toronto in 2005 at a high bid of $20,000 with just six fewer kilometers on the odometer. This is a generous result for this car\u2019s condition and mediocre performance but a real score for a serious BMW collector. It will sit proudly in any BMW aggregation in sharp contrast with the latest \u2018Ultimate Driving Machines\u2019, a reminder of BMW\u2019s history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 149 1956 Continental Mark II 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N C56B2191; Fairmont Blue\/Blue, White leather; Older restoration, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $29,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $31,900. No Reserve. \u2013 368\/285hp, automatic, wheel covers, whitewalls, bench seat, column shift, Town & Country radio, power windows, heater, factory air conditioning, power seats. \u2013 An older average quality respray. Rocker trim isn\u2019t flush and neither is the passenger\u2019s door. Body sides aren\u2019t totally straight. Slightly dull original gauges but the rest of the interior is good and lightly worn. An older restoration that wasn\u2019t done to exacting standards in the first place and is now a usable driver. \u2013 Continental Mark IIs are beautiful, elegant, seductive design objects that also function as a usable automobile. Each was hand built by Lincoln, making restoration an individual experience, and they have not always had easy lives once they left the hands of their wealthy first or second owners. While a concours restored example can bring six figures, it costs that much, no matter where the process starts, to reach that level of perfection. For this usable, attractive, air conditioned example the price it brought here is a sound buy, but no bargain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 153 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N 138177A173042; Granada Gold, Capri Cream roof\/Granada Gold vinyl; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $41,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $45,100. No Reserve. \u2013 396\/325hp, automatic, hub caps and trim rings, Radial T\/A tires, factory air conditioning, front disc brakes, bench seat, column shift, factory radio, tach. \u2013 Very good paint and chrome. Very good interior that still looks fresh. Very clean underbody. Done to like-new and just right condition that\u2019s not at all overdone. Restored in 2007 and featured in several magazines. \u2013 This car\u2019s condition, eight years after its restoration was completed, is a tribute to the skill and effort of the restorer and a level of care by its owner(s?) that is exceptional. Those are all good things, and things rarely found at auction or elsewhere that make it a sound buy at this price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 166 1982 Rolls-Royce Corniche I Drophead Coupe; S\/N SCAYD42A0CCX04018; Pale Yellow\/Tan leather piped in Black; Tan vinyl top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $32,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $35,200. No Reserve. \u2013 Wheel covers, Hankook narrow whitewalls, column shift, air conditioning, power windows, later Alpine CD stereo, power top. \u2013 Large chip on the nose. Light scratches on the front bumper. Very good top. Good, lightly worn interior. Maintained and sound, but never gotten major attention. \u2013 This is an appropriate result, just a tad more than the $33,000 that this car sold for at Mecum Monterey in 2013.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 184 1954 Ford F-100 Pickup; S\/N F10D4G24655; Blue, Tan\/Tan, Brown vinyl; Truck restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $31,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $34,100. No Reserve. \u2013 223\/115hp Mileage Maker six, 3-speed, Tan steel wheels with hub caps and trim rings, Lester wide whitewalls, hood ornament, Unity amber driving lights, dual mirrors, spotlight, single sidemount spare, wood bed sideboards, bench seat, column shift. \u2013 Light orange peel on the tan parts of the paint. Running boards are painted in blue crinkle paint that\u2019s a different shade than the rest of the blue. Pitted Ford F-100 badges. Clean, lightly used engine bay. Clean, blue-painted frame. Good, shiny wood. Very good interior with aged original steering wheel. Body-off restored to truck standards. Pretty enough to be proud of, but nothing crazy. \u2013 This is a sound and usable restored F-100 bought for a realistic price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 185 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible; S\/N P5FH113002; Blue\/Blue, White vinyl; White top; Original, with major mechanical repairs, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $24,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $26,400. No Reserve. \u2013 Later 312 engine, 3-speed, wheel covers, store brand narrow whitewalls, porthole hard top, power windows, aftermarket column-mounted tach, dash clock, aftermarket oil pressure and water temp gauges, factory radio. \u2013 Rebuilt non-original 312 coupled to the original transmission. Brought out of storage from the 1970s a few years ago. Made to run while keeping most of the original stuff. Decent original paint with the usual chips, scratches and large cracks throughout, including on the hard top. Doors aren\u2019t flush. Trim on the hard top is loose. Headliner is totally missing from the hard top. Good newer upholstery. Trunk isn\u2019t flush. \u2013 This is fairly cheap for a \u201955 T-Bird, but for one in this condition with a replacement engine from a later car, it\u2019s a fairly generous number that the seller should be happy to get. The \u2018originality\u2019 of this T-Bird is more in the nature of neglect than preservation. Any self-respecting new owner will embark on a number of projects to address its age and deterioration and it will soon soak up most if not all of the purchase price again \u2026 and still be fitted with the wrong engine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 191 1941 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood Limousine; S\/N 3340592; Black\/Brown leather in front, cloth in Back; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $24,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $26,400. No Reserve. \u2013 Wheel covers, whitewalls, radiator mascot, fender skirts, suicide rear doors, oil filter, LED brake lights, bench seat, column shift, dash clock, modern air conditioning, XM satellite radio receiver, rear-view camera, division window with clock, robe rail, flower vases. \u2013 Rebuilt motor. Tired old paint sprayed over scratches throughout, as well as numerous chips and touch ups. Good interior upholstery but the steering wheel and dash are tired and pitted. Dull bumper chrome. The rest of the brightwork is tired and pitted. Dirty original frame. An older, cheaply done cosmetic restoration with a few mods for comfort that weren\u2019t exactly in the best taste. A Full Classic (TM) like this deserves a whole lot better, and this one isn\u2019t too far gone to give the comprehensive restoration that it deserves. \u2013 But at this price it will never surface from underwater. It\u2019s tempting to use the word \u2018nasty\u2019 in describing this Cadillac. It might have a future as an Uber car in Mainland China.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 201 1991 GMC Syclone Pickup; S\/N 1GDCT14Z8M8801460; Black\/Black cloth piped in Red; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $23,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $25,300. No Reserve. \u2013 262\/280hp turbocharged V-6, automatic, Kelly tires, alloy wheels, tinted glass, power windows, air conditioning. \u2013 A few chips in the grille and light scratches on the front bumper. Very good original paint and interior. Looks like a truck with fewer than the 39,427 miles on the odometer. This one isn\u2019t perfect, but it is more than good enough to satisfy the tastes of a collector interested in something like this. \u2013 Lots of Syclones made frequent visits to the drag strip, so it\u2019s amazing how many really good low mileage Syclones there are still out there. This example, while very good, brought generous result that nevertheless still represents good value as far as performance per dollar goes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 211 1969 American Motors AMX Coupe; S\/N A9C397X169732; Alamosa Aqua, White stripes\/Silver vinyl; Cosmetic restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $27,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $29,700. No Reserve. \u2013 390\/315hp, automatic, Radial T\/A tires, air conditioning, limited slip, console, floor shift, cassette stereo. \u2013 Body-on restored less than 500 miles ago. Cracks in the original taillights. Aged original brightwork. Very good newer upholstery. The rest of the interior is original and a bit worn. Clean and restored underneath. More than good enough to be proud of, but not fully done top to bottom. \u2013 AMXs remain a tempting performance value, and this was an appropriate result for an example in this condition with the usual discount for an automatic transmission.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 333 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible; S\/N 30967W302769; Red\/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3- condition; Hammered Sold at $10,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $11,000. No Reserve. \u2013 Wheel covers, store brand tires, Powerglide, Pioneer CD stereo. \u2013 Represented to have a new top, top boot and upholstery. Average older respray with several touch ups on the nose, a few light scratches and scrapes on the driver\u2019s side door and a long scratch on the tail as well as blisters on the bottom of the passenger\u2019s side door. Dull original brightwork. Overspray in the wheel wells. Other than the good new upholstery, the rest of the interior is pretty tired. A car that\u2019s done 85,426 miles and been fixed to keep it going and somewhat presentable, but nothing to be that proud of. \u2013 This is a magnanimous result for a base Monza, even a convertible, in this condition. A few thousand dollars more would have bought a much better Corvair, and this one won\u2019t achieve comparable condition for the difference in price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 363 1970 Ford Ranchero GT Pickup; S\/N 0R48H165661; Red, Black hood and vinyl roof, Yellow side stripe\/Black vinyl; Truck restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $21,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $23,100. No Reserve. \u2013 351\/250hp with a 4-barrel added, automatic, store brand tires, dual mirrors, power steering, power front disc brakes, bench seat, column shift, Philco radio, Deluxe Marti report. \u2013 Two owners. Good paint, chrome and graphics. Roof vinyl is sound and shiny but a bit lumpy. Plenty of chips and scratches in the bed. Very good interior. Recent undercoated chassis. Better than most Rancheros and in attractive colors. \u2013 One of the more appealing attributes of this Ranchero is that it looks good enough to be seen driving but the bed is a bit battered and can be used to haul stuff without cringing at the risk of damage. It brought a price appropriate to what it is and how it can be used.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 375 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S\/N 194677S118476; Ermine White, Red stinger\/Red leather; White vinyl top; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $165,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $181,500. No Reserve. \u2013 427\/400hp, 4-speed, alloy wheels, Firestone red line tires, Protect-O-Plate, radio, dash clock. \u2013 Bloomington Gold. NCRS Regional Top Flight. Very good paint, chrome and top. Excellent interior. Clean engine bay. Not done yesterday but needs nothing and still presents in like-new condition. \u2013 This is a significant price for a hydraulic lifter tri-power Corvette and it reflects both its condition and its record of having been judged and found acceptable by the two recognized Corvette authorities. As a result it needs no excuses and that is worth a lot, although this result expands the envelope of \u2018a lot.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 381 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR Convertible; S\/N 8T03R210913; Candy Apple Red, White vinyl\/Black vinyl; White top; Visually maintained, largely original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $125,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $137,500. No Reserve. \u2013 428\/335hp, automatic, Goodyear Speedway 350 tires, wood shift knob, Philco radio. \u2013 Single repaint. Traction-Lok added. Good new top. Rough original interior with tired, loose upholstery, dirty top frame and heavily worn shift knob. Used but tidy engine bay and chassis. Decent older paint and chrome. Reportedly hit at the left rear but no visible signs of damage. Not at all the ideal example, but a decent driver. \u2013 The West Palm bidders saw this car for what it was, and afforded it an appropriate discount. It went home at a price slightly favorable to the buyer. Also, full credit to the consignor for honestly disclosing the old accident damage. The car brought what it was worth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 383 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi Coupe, Body by Scaglietti; S\/N ZFFJA09B000044991; Red\/Black; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $255,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $280,500. With Reserve. \u2013 Centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin TRX tires, roof spoiler, power windows, air conditioning, Pioneer stereo. \u2013 Big chip on the left headlight door, otherwise pretty good original paint. Good lightly worn interior. Last represented work on the car was an engine-out service way back in 1998 before the car went into long-term storage. \u2013 After sitting for 18 years that service needs to be repeated as soon as this Ferrari leaves the auction site. Prolonged storage is not good for soft things in engine compartments, particularly the belts that drive the camshafts on this BBi. The result is appropriate for a BBi with a fresh major service, not for one that needs that expensive, engine-out, procedure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 384 1990 Ferrari Testarossa Coupe, Body by Pininfarina; S\/N ZFFSG17A8L0083434; Red\/Tan leather; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $79,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $86,900. With Reserve. \u2013 Alloy wheels, power windows, air conditioning, Momo steering wheel. \u2013 Chip right next to the Ferrari badge on the nose. Rebuilt diff and transmission as well as the 50,000 mile service. Very good, almost like new interior. At 54,525 miles, this Testarossa has been driven quite a bit, but it\u2019s been maintained the whole way and still presents very well. \u2013 After Testarossa prices have hovered in the low $100,000 range for months it seems remarkable, particularly in Florida, to see one down in 5-figures even with this many miles. Its appearance and service history suggests sympathetic care and makes it a very good value in the current Testarossa market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 386 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible; S\/N F7FH333817; Flame Red\/Red vinyl; Red top; Older restoration, 1- condition; Hammered Sold at $176,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $193,600. No Reserve. \u2013 312\/300hp Paxton McCullough supercharged F-Code engine, automatic, red steel wheels with wheel covers, Goodyear whitewalls, porthole hard top, fender skirts, radio, power steering, power brakes, memory seats, power windows, Town & Country radio, tonneau cover, tinted glass. \u2013 Used but tidy engine bay. One of 212 F-Code cars. Very good older paint and chrome. Very good interior. Restored to show standards years ago and no longer fresh, but it\u2019s still a pretty car that needs nothing. \u2013 Sold at the RM Capizzi Collection sale in 2006 and 201 miles ago for $319,000. This transaction is $120,000 less with commission and $143,000 less at the hammer bid here, for a car that is only a little aged and barely used in the interim. Today\u2019s price is appropriate to the T-Bird; the Capizzi auction price was extraordinary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 387 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner; S\/N F7FW387795; Red\/White vinyl with Red cloth inserts; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $170,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $187,000. No Reserve. \u2013 312\/300hp Paxton-McCullough supercharged F-Code engine, automatic, black steel wheels with wheel covers, Goodyear whitewalls, spotlight mirrors, bench seat, column shift, radio, dash clock, Continental kit, exhaust deflectors. \u2013 Used but tidy engine bay. Lightly worn interior with some light discoloration on the white parts. Good paint and chrome. Touched up scratch above the right headlight. Reportedly one of only seven Skyliners with the F-Code engine. Drag raced to national class championship wins in 1957 and 1958. Now an older show quality restoration. \u2013 Sold at the RM Capizzi Collection sale in 2006 for $258,500. The F-Code T-Bird sold just before this Skyliner took a huge hit since the Capizzi sale and the same is true for this Skyliner. The result here was reasonable, leaving the consignor in shock after the T-Bird.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 391 1991 Lamborghini Diablo Coupe; S\/N ZA9DU07PXMLA12159; Black\/Black leather piped in Red; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $127,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $139,700. With Reserve. \u2013 Alloy wheels, Pirelli P Zero tires, Brembo brakes with slotted rotors, spoiler, power windows, air conditioning, factory radio, Murcielago fuel regulator that supposedly adds 70 hp, Kevlar clutch. \u2013 52,085 miles and notable mods. Very good paint. Dirty, lightly pitted shifter gate. Clear coat coming off of the carbon windshield wiper deflector. It\u2019s a very good early Diablo, but not the world\u2019s best. \u2013 Outrageous appearance and eminent performance were enough to have black Diablos on many college dorm walls during the 90\u2019s. A VT is a more complete car, but this is a realistic price to pay for something that will rarely if ever again see itself exercised even at 80% of its performance envelope.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Discolored tires. Very good paint and chrome. Stored at Harrah\u2019s for many years and body-off restored in 2004, then got AACA Junior First Place in 2006. A gorgeous and imposing car, just not totally fresh anymore. \u2013 Sometimes \u201953 Skylarks will sell under $100K, but there is usually a reason why bidders look askance at them. A bit of elbow grease and assortment of beautifying treatments from Mother\u2019s or Meguair\u2019s will have this award winning Skylark in the pink again. It\u2019s a car to own with pride, and one that was bought for a price fair to both the seller and the buyer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 396 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe; S\/N WP0AC2996TS375277; Guards Red\/Black leather; Unrestored original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $143,000. With Reserve. \u2013 Alloy wheels, Bridgestone tires, rear window wiper, spoiler, sunroof, tinted glass, VDO dash clock, factory cassette stereo, air conditioning, power windows. \u2013 Very good paint. Creasing on the seats but otherwise very good interior. The 37,924 miles are low enough that it\u2019s still lightly used, but high enough to know that it\u2019s broken in and sorted out, and that it\u2019s been cared for. \u2013 Not as expensive as other recent 993 Turbo sales that have come in at around $200,000, but still considerably more expensive than this car would have been just a few short years ago. This result, however, further shows that the upward trend in 911 values has slowed way down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With Reserve. \u2013 Black Fuchs wheels, Bridgestone Potenza tires, sunroof, whale tail, rear window wiper, Blaupunkt radio, air conditioning, power windows. \u2013 Bottom lip is a little wavy. Tiny touched up chips at the front of the hood. Small dent next to right headlight and another on the hood. Some paint flaking off the window frames. Small crack in the left brake light. Excellent, like new interior. Full mechanical service on an all original car. Showing 15,237 believable miles, finished in eye-catching colors and very good presentation other than a few flaws that are almost inevitable with age. \u2013 Given how quickly and how much 930 values have risen in recent years, results like this can still be a bit of a shock, but given this car\u2019s condition this is actually slightly cheap in today\u2019s market for a car in this condition. Just for reference, however, this buyer\u2019s check would buy the best Ferrari 512TR in the world with money left over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Original auto is included. Body-off restored. Very clean, not immaculate engine bay. Very good paint and interior. Clean restored frame. Wheel well trim isn\u2019t on completely straight. Very pretty car, thoroughly restored and with little to pick on. Represented as the numbers-matching engine and PHS documented. \u2013 The 4-speed is more fun to drive but the original automatic will return it to its original configuration. Numbers-matching and PHS documented? If so, this is one very good value, even with the changed gearbox. Happy buyer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was bid to $650,000 at Mecum\u2019s Kissimmee auction three months ago, has added 4 miles to its odometer since then, and it took this bid to find a balance between supply and demand. Carrera GTs need a rest, there are too many of them coming to into a market that is showing itself to be extremely thin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still features factory transport stickers, shrink wrap, plastic seat covers and window stickers. A factory fresh car. It isn\u2019t \u201clike new\u201d. It is new. \u2013 Lot 426 was another Ford GT Heritage Edition that looked factory fresh, but it had 3,050 miles and no plastic on the seats.

Driver\u2019s side door isn\u2019t flush. Some light scratches on the trunk. Otherwise good older paint and chrome. Very good, lightly worn and aged interior. A car that\u2019s gotten attention but never been fully restored, and one to drive and not stress out about when you\u2019re driving it quickly. Italian market car originally finished in Amaranto. Exported to the U.S. in 1972, then spent 30 years in a Swiss collection before coming back stateside. \u2013 Sold by RM in London in 2014, right in the middle of the sharp upward trend in 330 GTC values, for $632,727. Then sold by RM in Monterey last year for $715,000. The reported high bid wasn\u2019t enough to buy even a rough 330 GTC six months ago and even today the car deserves more. This is a serious bargain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Excellent paint, chrome, interior and top. A gorgeous recent body-off restoration that left no stone uncovered and resulted in a thoroughly showable Fuelie. Represented as matching numbers but the reported engine number is meaningless. \u2013 The odd engine number and lack of any documentation are a serious blow to this Corvette\u2019s value, a blow not apparent in the price it brought which accepted the spectacular restoration at face value and didn\u2019t look any further. Its price is a triumph of presentation over substance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With Reserve. \u2013 Chrome wire wheels, wide whitewalls chrome horns, Depress Beam headlamps, Pilot Rays, Greyhound radiator mascot, dual rear-mounted spare wheels, separate speedometer and Waltham dash clock set into the rear cowl. \u2013 Rebodied by Rick Kriss in 1995, the only thing \u2018Brunn\u2019 about this coachwork is the builder\u2019s tag (and the auction\u2019s honest description of it as a \u2018re-creation\u2019). Nevertheless it was an award winner at Amelia and Meadowbrook. Excellent paint and chrome. Excellent top and interior. Spotless chassis. A proven show car that is still showable. \u2013 Sold at Auctions America Fort Lauderdale in 2013 for $275,000, then sold at Mecum Monterey last year for $253,000. It is a wonderful car with coachwork that demonstrates the appeal of a sleek, low top sport phaeton but brought a superior price not consistent with its 1990\u2019s reproduction coachwork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Full ownership history. Restored from 2006 to 2009. Comes with original luggage. Dirty tires. Decent but not great repaint. Very good and clean engine bay and underbody. Very good interior. Dull original steering wheel. An attractive classic cruiser in eye-catching colors. It\u2019s not an immaculate restoration, though, and 10 years after the work was done you couldn\u2019t call it much better than a very pretty driver. \u2013 It\u2019s the M-B star on the front of this boring, underpowered Mannheim Benz that makes its reputation and its value. 55hp is not a lot, but a burger or gauleiter would have been gratified to have such a ride in 1940. Today, not so much, and the seller should be gratified to get this much for a usable but not attractive relic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Carrera GT, with a $450,000 MSRP and production of some 1,270 units of which 660 were sold in the U.S., had bubbled up to seven figures but now supply seems to have exceeded demand and they are rapidly settling back into mid-six figures close to their original selling prices, if buyers can be found at all. This is the second one offered here in Palm Beach, and the fifth one to be offered at auction in the U.S. since the beginning of the year. Carrera GT prices are trending in opposition to Ford GTs.

Lot # 439 1949 Oldsmobile Futuramic 88 Deluxe Station Wagon; S\/N 498M25924; Green, Wood\/Red leather; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $57,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $62,700. No Reserve. \u2013 303\/135hp, automatic, cream steel wheels with hub caps, Silvertown whitewalls, rear fender skirts, bench seat, column shift, pushbutton AM radio, dash clock. \u2013 Restoration completed last fall, and the odometer shows 8 miles. First year for Boss Kettering\u2019s high compression ohv V8 and last year for a woodie from Olds. Panel gaps are uneven and the rocker trim isn\u2019t flush. Otherwise, the paint, brightwork, wood and interior are all excellent. \u2013 This is a significant automobile for many reasons and it is beautifully restored. With no evidence that it has been judged yet the new owner will be able to show it with pride and confidence while also preserving a bit of history. For all of that, this is a reasonable price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 443 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427\/435 Convertible; S\/N 194677S112542; Elkhart Blue, Dark Blue stinger\/Teak Blue leather; Blue vinyl top; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $150,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $165,000. With Reserve. \u2013 427\/435hp, 4-speed, transistor ignition, heavy duty brakes, power brakes, AIR, tinted windshield, off-road exhaust, Positraction, AM\/FM radio, dash clock. \u2013 CA black plate. Body-off restored by NCRS master judges. Very good detailed engine bay. Excellent paint and chrome. Perfect new top. Very lightly sat in seats are the only signs of use. A loaded, gorgeous and fresh car that would be right at home on an NCRS show field. \u2013 This is a result that is fair to both the buyer and the seller of this exceptional Corvette that is especially impressive for retaining its original California AIR emissions control system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 444 1973 Porsche 911T Targa; S\/N 9113112125; Yellow\/Black vinyl; Unrestored original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve. \u2013 Sportomatic transmission, Fuchs wheels, BFG Comp T\/A tires, Cibie driving lights, Pioneer cassette stereo, VDO dash clock. \u2013 Dull roof vinyl with a small rip in the back. Lightly pitted headlight bezels. Dull brightwork. Original paint is a little faded but without major blemish. Lightly faded interior but very sound and complete. Door handles are loose. Clean and original underneath. Two-owner car, in storage for 22 years of its life. All original, and the best word to describe it would probably be \u201cweathered\u201d. \u2013 The West Palm bidders valued this car\u2019s almost complete originality and ignored its rare but less desirable 4-speed Sportomatic transmission to bid it to a result that would ordinarily buy a very good freshly restored example.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 456 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible; S\/N VE55S001265; Gypsy Red\/White; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $143,000. With Reserve. \u2013 265\/195hp, Powerglide, spinner wheel covers, Silvertown whitewalls, WonderBar radio. \u2013 One of 700 Corvettes made in 1955, the first year for the V-8. Bloomington Gold certified. Body-off restored by NCRS master judges, but a while ago. Clean engine bay. Sound and shiny but older paint and chrome with a handful of cracks on and around the hood. Discolored whitewalls. Chips on the deck lid. Lightly worn interior. Well done, but enjoyed and aged. \u2013 Sold at the Branson auction in 2013 and 510 miles ago for $98,280. The Branson result was cheap. This one was expensive. The buyer paid for a freshly restored \u201955, but that\u2019s not what he got.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 459 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible; S\/N E7FH164916; Dusk Rose, Black hardtop\/Black, White vinyl; Black top; Concours restoration, 1 condition; Hammered Sold at $61,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $67,100. No Reserve. \u2013 312\/270hp dual quad E-Code engine, automatic, pink steel wheels with wheel covers, Firestone whitewalls, fender skirts, porthole hardtop, Town & Country radio, power brakes, power seat, power steering, power windows. \u2013 Gorgeous highly detailed engine bay. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Straight body, even gaps. Body-off restored to high standards a dozen years ago and still a fantastic car in attention-grabbing colors with desirable equipment. A stunner. \u2013 Sold at RM Hershey in 2014 for $82,500, then hammered not sold at Mecum Kissimmee last year at a high bid of $90,000. This was a steal for a car as good as this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 465 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO Convertible; S\/N 237675K114279; Red\/Black vinyl; Black top; Visually maintained, largely original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $55,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $60,500. No Reserve. \u2013 389\/360hp Tri-Power, 4-speed, Hurst wheels, red line tires, black vinyl boot cover, Hurst shifter, power windows, cassette radio. \u2013 Tri-Power added. Small dent in the left headlight bezel. Orange peel on front bumper. Sound older paint. Very good newer upholstery, although the rest of the interior looks original and a bit tired. Pretty car with neat wheels and desirable equipment. It has never been fully apart, but has gotten cosmetic attention when necessary. PHS documented. \u2013 Both the color and the induction system have been changed but the choice of color and Tri-Power handily counteracts any negative effect from the departure from original configuration. It is an outstanding automobile in well preserved highly original condition and brought a superior price appropriate to its qualities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 466 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible; S\/N VC55F143116; Gypsy Red\/Red, Beige vinyl; Beige vinyl top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve. \u2013 265\/180hp, Powerglide, wire wheel covers, dual mirrors, fender skirts, Continental kit, beige vinyl boot cover, power steering, Powerglide, pushbutton radio, dash clock. \u2013 Chip at the back of the hood. Clean detailed engine bay and underbody. Very good new chrome and brightwork. Doors aren\u2019t flush. Slightly wavy body sides. Excellent interior. Paint is good but doesn\u2019t quite match the quality of the rest of the car. Mostly very good cruiser and well equipped, just missed on a few details. 834 miles since body-off restoration. \u2013 Sold at the RM McMullen collection sale in 2007 with 28 miles on the odometer for the same $71,500 price. The car is in essentially the same condition as it was then, indicating a relatively flat market for 1950s American cars like this Bel Air.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 468 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo Coupe; S\/N 2W87TAN122492; Black, Gold\/Black cloth; Visually maintained, largely original, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve. \u2013 301\/210hp Turbo, automatic, Gold wheels, Radial T\/A tires, power windows, pushbutton radio, air conditioning, WS6 handling package, PHS documentation. \u2013 Very good older single repaint. Used but tidy and good engine bay. Like new interior. Showing 10,088 believable miles and very well preserved other than the one respray. \u2013 Good, low mileage Trans Ams of this vintage commanded shockingly high prices in Scottsdale back in January, and the trend continued here in West Palm, especially with this car. This car was sold by Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in 2012 for $35,200, then sold again in Scottsdale last year for $37,400. It is expensive to follow a collecting fad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 477 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Convertible; S\/N 344670M378063; Orange, Black stripes\/Black vinyl; Black top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $65,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $71,500. No Reserve. \u2013 455\/365hp, automatic, Dunlop G\/T Qualifier tires, Ram Air hood, Positraction, dual mirrors, factory air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power top, tilt steering column, FE-2 suspension, His and Hers shifter, black vinyl boot cover, factory radio, upgraded with W30 and W27 options. \u2013 Body-off restored. Represented as matching numbers. Orange peel on the trunk. Otherwise very good paint and chrome. Orange peel on the mirrors. Good interior with clean original dash and newer upholstery. Not a show car, but a very attractive vintage cruiser. \u2013 This is Steph Curry shot, sold at Mecum\u2019s Kissimmee auction in January for $39,600 and unwound here less than three months later for nearly double, a 64% profit even calculating it on the hammer bid. The atmosphere in the Barrett-Jackson auction ring sometimes makes its own weather, including lightning strikes this is a huge score for the seller, but not an unreasonable price for the buyer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 481 1971 Jaguar XKE SIII V12 2+2; S\/N 1S71473BW; Light Blue\/Dark Blue; Enthusiast restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $38,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $41,800. No Reserve. \u2013 Automatic, hub caps and trim rings, Kumho narrow whitewalls, power windows, modern stereo. \u2013 New paint and interior in 2008. Body-on mechanical restoration in 2011. Lightly pitted headlight bezels. Very good bumper chrome on the front, but the rear bumper has the same light pitting as do the headlight bezels. Very good paint in the original color other than a run on the tail. Very good interior. Clean engine bay. A fully done over and pretty car that cut a couple of corners but resulted in a pretty cruiser. \u2013 An interesting car that brought a price appropriate to its configuration, condition and the humpback 2+2 body.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 485 1963 Amphicar Model 770 Convertible; S\/N 100549; Red\/White, Gray vinyl; Older restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $60,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $66,000. No Reserve. \u2013 White steel wheels with hubcaps, BFG whitewalls, gray vinyl boot cover, bench seat, factory pushbutton radio. \u2013 Decent older respray. Dull brightwork and rubber rub strip. Good older upholstery. Very clean restored underbody. No signs of water use, but an older restoration that\u2019s past its prime. \u2013 Sold in WestWorld by B-J in 2010 for $74,800, Amphicars are widely known to be bad cars and worse boats, but the concept is intriguing, as is the prospect of scaring the heck out of passengers by driving it into the water [only after carefully checking gaskets and seals since they dry out with age and sitting in a barn.] This is an appropriate price for an aging Amphicar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 488 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z\/28 RS Sport Coupe; S\/N 124378N404980; Black, White stripes, Black vinyl roof\/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $140,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $154,000. No Reserve. \u2013 302\/290hp, 4-speed, Rally wheels, red line tires, 3.73 Positraction, tinted windshield, power steering, AM radio. \u2013 Represented as matching numbers and Jerry MacNeish vetted. Numerous small but deep scratches in the front bumper. Very good older paint other than a large chip at the front of the passenger\u2019s side door. Very good, straight roof vinyl. Very good interior. Very clean, detailed engine bay. A well restored car with some flaws from age. \u2013 How much??? This is a price without compare, huge money for a Camaro that doesn\u2019t have Yenko somewhere on it. It would have been fully priced at half the reported bid, how it came to bring this much money is inexplicable even in a determined bidding contest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 489 1959 Chevrolet Impala Convertible; S\/N F59L222417; Snowcrest White\/Red vinyl with Red and White cloth inserts; White vinyl top; Older restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $75,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $82,500. No Reserve. \u2013 348\/280hp Tri-Power, Powerglide, spinner wheel covers, Silvertown whitewalls, dual mirrors, dual antenna, Continental kit, fender skirts, bench seat, column shift, power windows, WonderBar radio, heater, power seat, tissue dispenser, power top, power steering, no power brakes. \u2013 Some paint flaking off the wheels. Light creasing and discoloration in the top. Lightly scratched and dull trim. Good older paint and chrome. Paint chips at the bottom of the fender skirts. Uneven door gaps and chips at the back of the driver\u2019s side door. Very good interior. A straightforward, lightly used older restoration of a pretty and highly optioned car. In a museum for the last decade. \u2013 Generously bought for its condition and the age of its restoration, but it is a handsome car in white and will attract a crowd when the hood is opened.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 497 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe; S\/N 194378S416224; Monza Red\/Saddle vinyl; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000. No Reserve. \u2013 427\/390hp, automatic, Rally wheels, red line tires, pushbutton radio, power steering, power brakes. \u2013 Reportedly one of five 1968 cars transformed into 69\u2019s for that year\u2019s sales brochure. Body-on restored in 1998. Small chips and orange peel on the roof. A few tiny chips and scratches on the driver\u2019s side door. Small crack at the front of the hood, very good chrome. Very good interior. Not exactly of monumental significance, but it\u2019s got some history, and it looks every bit the well cared for older restoration that it\u2019s advertised as. \u2013 Sold here in 2005 for $70,200, then in 2006 for $52,380. It\u2019s aged a little since then and this represents a sound value for the money in a car with a little bit of Corvette history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 502 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Convertible; S\/N 138677B128624; Marina Blue\/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Recent restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $73,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $80,300. No Reserve. \u2013 396\/325hp, 4-speed, hub caps and trim rings, Radial T\/A tires, power steering, power brakes, Hurst shifter, pushbutton radio. \u2013 Grille trim isn\u2019t flush. Good, relatively recent repaint. Very good top. Excellent interior. Front wheels are a little dirty. Passenger\u2019s side door isn\u2019t flush. A solid restoration of a real SS 396. Nothing done to show quality, but more than good enough to enjoy and be seen in. \u2013 This is a healthy price for an unexceptional Chevelle with the cooking version 396 engine. It would have been reasonably bought at $50,000 and the difference, amounting to roughly 50%, is substantial.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 505 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Fastback; S\/N BH29H9B264973; Black Velvet, Red\/Black vinyl; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $43,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $47,300. No Reserve. \u2013 383\/330hp, automatic, Radial T\/A tires, bucket seats, floor shift, pushbutton radio, TorqueFlite, power front disc brakes. \u2013 Equipped with the Formula S package, which included upgraded suspension, bigger wheels and a tachometer. Very clean engine bay. Very good paint and chrome. Very good interior with new upholstery and sound original dash. Restored to be driven, and enjoyed as such. \u2013 Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2013 for $55,000. While today\u2019s result is cheaper, it\u2019s still expensive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 622 1988 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce Convertible; S\/N ZARBC5768J1056325; Burgundy\/Tan vinyl; Black cloth top; Unrestored original, 3 condition; Hammered Sold at $8,600 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $9,460. No Reserve. \u2013 Cromodora wheels, Falken tires, woodrim steering wheel, power windows, Pioneer CD stereo, air conditioning. \u2013 Two small dents on the hood and three more on the left side of the body. Chips around the edges of both doors. Touch up on the left front fender. Good top with lightly scratched plastic rear window. Wood veneer paint rubbing off the shift knob. Dull steering wheel cap. Otherwise very good interior. A little dirty underneath but nothing serious and no major signs of rust. New brake booster. Showing 33,221 miles, but it looks like a car with more and just a standard used Alfa Spider. \u2013 A driver bought for driver money. The Alfa experience doesn\u2019t come for any less money than this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 637 1987 Porsche 924S Coupe; S\/N WP0AA0929HN451707; Red\/Black; Unrestored original, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $6,700 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $7,370. No Reserve. \u2013 Store brand tires, sunroof, air conditioning, power windows, Alpine CD stereo. \u2013 Lightly scratched wheels. A few small touch ups on the nose. Otherwise good original paint. Good exterior plastic. The center of the steering wheel is very loose, but the rest of the original interior is very good. Showing 43,272 miles. Most 924s are driven nearly to death and beyond help, mostly because it\u2019s been the cheapest thing with a Porsche badge for some time now. It\u2019s therefore surprising, almost refreshing to see one that isn\u2019t terrible. Even better, this one is actually pretty good. \u2013 The later S is the version of the 924 to have, since it features a proper Porsche engine (a detuned unit from the 944) instead of the anemic old Audi four. This is probably one of the better ones available, and it was bought fairly cheaply, leaving the buyer some room for service costs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 655 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe; S\/N 6F07T193364; Light Blue\/Blue vinyl; Recent restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $25,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $27,500. No Reserve. \u2013 200\/120hp six, automatic, wheel covers, Hankook Optima narrow whitewalls, factory radio. \u2013 Fairly extensive restoration last year. Very good paint and chrome. Very good interior. Essentially done to like new. A six-cylinder car that\u2019s been given better treatment than many V-8 ones. \u2013 It brought V-8 money, too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 668 1988 Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary Coupe; S\/N 1G1YY2188J5114076; White\/White leather; Unrestored original, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $28,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $30,800. No Reserve. \u2013 350\/245hp, 4-speed, Goodyear Eagle tires, Delco cassette stereo, air conditioning, power windows, original roof as well as a tinted glass roof. \u2013 One of 2,050 35th anniversary cars with white paint, interior and wheels. One of 180 of those with a manual. Very good original paint. Power antenna doesn\u2019t go down all the way. Very good original interior. Treated as a collectible from new. \u2013 Special edition cars don\u2019t always command a significant amount more than similarly equipped base counterparts, but in the case of the 35th Anniversary Corvette, the cars are actually worth a significant amount more. This was an appropriate result that would have been between five and 10 grand less were this not a 35th Anniversary car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lot # 706 1957 Chrysler 300C 2-Dr. Hardtop; S\/N 3N572091; Red\/Beige leather; Cosmetic restoration, 3+ condition; Hammered Sold at $39,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $42,900. No Reserve. \u2013 392\/375hp Hemi with dual quads, Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, whitewalls, pushbutton automatic, bench seat, pushbutton radio, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, rear defroster. \u2013 Inch-long crack on the hood. Bare chips at the front of the hood. Clean undercoated chassis with some paint drips off the bottom of the frame from excess paint. Doors are not flush. A body-on restoration that\u2019s a pretty car and inherently cool as a piece of Chrysler\u2019s muscle luxury history, but no show car. \u2013 Hammered not sold at Auburn Fall in 2012 with a bid of $59,000, then at Mecum Schaumberg in 2013 at a high bid of $45,000, at Auctions America Fort Lauderdale in 2014 at a high bid of $39,000 then finally sold at Auburn Spring 2014 for $49,500. It\u2019s a neat car despite having bounced around a lot and should be fun to drive but will blush with embarrassment if it\u2019s driven onto a show field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lot # 707 1957 Dodge MW300 1 Ton Power Wagon Dump Truck 4\u00d74; S\/N 83953121; Red, Black\/Tan vinyl; Truck restoration, 2- condition; Hammered Sold at $35,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $38,500. No Reserve. \u2013 230\/113hp six, 3-speed, dump body, winch, tilting windshield, tow hitch, 4\u00d74. \u2013 Average quality respray. New tires. Tidy used engine bay. Good restored interior with scratched up original plates on the dash. Clean chassis. A sound truck restoration and a nifty vintage hauler. \u2013 \u2018Hauling\u2019 has mixed connotations with this Power Wagon. While it will pull almost anything it probably tops out at 50mph, and is beating itself to death at that speed. On the other hand, this is half the price of a new pickup.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
