The auction line-up also reflects the owner's enthusiasm for GTOs - a lifelong passion that can be traced back to his childhood growing up in Detroit and a superb 1965 Tiger Gold Pontiac GTO driven by his parents during his youth. On offer at the June sale are some 20 pristine examples, headlined by an unmistakable 1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge", restored by marque specialist Scott Tiemann of Supercar Specialties.
Other notable highlights include: a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, one of just 498 examples produced that year, and two 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28s.
RM’s upcoming San Diego sale continues the company’s strong presence in California which has included a string of highly successful private collection sales in recent years.
"Over the last several years we have worked actively in serving and representing Southern California collectors at auction," adds Kelleher. "Our upcoming Classic Muscle & Modern Performance event not only builds on RM's reputation as the specialists for the auction of private and estate collections, but also as the preeminent and preferred auction house serving California in all areas of the collector car market. No other auction company serves Southern California’s car collector community as extensively and regularly as RM Auctions does."
In addition to the San Diego sale in June, RM Auctions will host its annual Sports & Classics of Monterey event in California, August 13 – 14, 2010. Now in its 25th year, RM’s Monterey event was the first and original auction held during the now famous Monterey Classic Car Week.
Full details on RM’s upcoming Classic Muscle & Modern Performance event, including feature cars, will be posted online at www.rmauctions.com.
