Once more this year, classic car fans will have a chance to obtain some of the finest collectibles at Auburn's (Ind.) Automobilia auction, June 1-3.
This edition features the biggest private collection of small-scale models: more than 600 muscle cars, classics and exotics vehicles and hot rods there to buy.
"Automobilia is great fun for collectors whether their budgets are big or small," said Auctions America by RM’s President Donnie Gould. "Some enthusiasts buy scale-model cars because they can’t afford the full-size versions; others buy them to put on a desk while the full-size version sits in the garage. Not everyone can afford a million-dollar 427 Cobra, but a well-made scale model might go for a few hundred dollars."
Available items include a fine example of Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder, 1:8 scale; expected to go for between $10,000 and $15,000. Still about 10 millions dollars less the 1:1 version. But the highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the Sapo Modelltechnik 1913 Mercer 35J Raceabout – a 3000-parts masterpiece expected to sell for between $18,000 and $25,000.
