Spring Carlisle Auction<\/p>\n

April 26\u201327, 2012<\/p>\n

Auctions America by RM\u2019s Spring Carlisle auction in Carlisle, Pennsylvania saw 267 collector vehicles cross the auction block with a 53% sell-through rate yielding more than $2.5 million in total sales. The large assembled crowd cheered when they heard that Leon Fake was successful in his bid to purchase a 1965 Mustang that he was the original owner of. \u201cI put 85,000 miles on this Mustang and sold it,\u201d said Fake. \u201cI tried to buy it back a few years ago for $30,000, but the owner wouldn\u2019t let it go. It\u2019s a good thing the bidding stopped when it did, because I was at my limit.\u201d His Mustang, which sold at Carlisle for $34,100, was part of the 15-car John E. Craft collection that also included a 1955 Ford Thunderbird (sold for $20,350) and 1968 Cadillac deVille ($16,170) \u2013 all of which were offered at no reserve.<\/p>\n
