Eager bidders in attendance, a massive catalogue with high interest and overall a huge success as we wrap up another unreal auction!
The July edition of the Muscle, Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction wrapped up this week over three massively successful nights! With over 100 incredible lots on display between our two headquarters in Bayswater Victoria and Beresfield NSW, there was much in the way of anticipation for this jam packed catalogue and it showed with lots of bidding action!
Night one featured a hefty catalogue, filled to the brim with Australian muscle and classic vehicles that proved to be very popular with floor bidders, with a number of those floor bidders taking out lots on the night. Night two also saw many classic American, European and Japanese cars and motorcycles go under the hammer and while there were many winning online bidders, there were also a neat handful of floor bidders coming away with some classic wheels. The third and final night put the exclamation point on this very successful auction, with every lot being UNRESERVED on the final day, the clearance rate for night three alone reached a staggering 100%!
Just like the Holden vs Ford days in previous decades, it was a Holden and a Ford taking the top 2 spots as our best sellers in this auction. The highly desirable 1977 Holden LX SS Torana V8 Manual Hatchback that ended up being the top seller, with it reaching a final bid on Monday night of $170,345! A stunning 1974 Ford XB GT 351 V8 Automatic Coupe was the next best seller across all three nights, the Aussie muscle icon garnering an eye catching $162,926. While these cars were heavy hitters on the night, an incredibly rare and desirable UNRESERVED 1982 Ford XE Fairmont Ghia ESP 351 Manual Sedan collected a lot of interest all the way up until the swing of the hammer on auction night, where it achieved a fantastic $112,372!
Cars and bikes outside of Australia were also catching the eyes of a lot of our bidders, with a very cool 2016 Ford Custom Build Hot Rod being the top seller for Tuesday night, with the final price for this mean machine reaching $90,337. Motorcycles were the talk of the night too with many selling well. It was the UNRESERVED 1985 Ducati MHR Mille 1000cc however that sold at the most impressive price amongst the bikes however, with the rare Italian sports bike selling for $50,737.
The final night on Wednesday wrapped up with bang too! In a first here at Burns & Co, we had an fully functioning classic plane! With tremendous interest online and through inspections, the Isaacs Fury 1 Hawker ended up being the top selling lot of Night 3, selling at a final price of $32,911!
