May Auctions see competitive bidding, lots of floor bidders and an 86% Clearance Rate!
The May edition of the Burns & Co Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction wrapped up this week over two massive nights. The first night, on Monday the 19th of May 2025 saw American, European & Japanese Classic & Collectable Cars & Motorcycles going under the hammer, then on the Tuesday evening the Aussie Muscle, Classic & Collectable Cars were up for grabs.
The first time we have held these auctions at nighttime, there were lots of floor bidders on both nights to go along with the always popular online bidding. The top selling lot on the Monday evening (and 4th place overall across both nights) was Lot 13 the ever-stylish 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback 390 V8 Manual which climbed its way up to a final selling price of $81,600. Coming in at second place for Monday night, selling for $63,302 was Lot 31, the gorgeous 1962 Ford Thunderbird V8 Sports Roadster Automatic which had a number of bidders throwing their hats in the ring to take home this beauty.
The Tuesday night saw bidders duking it out to take home Aussie Muscle, Classic & Collectable Cars. The third highest selling lot for the night (Lot 27), the very well maintained 1985 Holden VK Brock HDT Commodore V8 Manual saw plenty of pre-bidding as well as a late flurry on the night to reach $89,568 when the hammer fell. In second place was a real showstopper, this 1961 Holden EK V8 350 Stroker Sedan Automatic had been receiving a lot of attention, even before for bidding opened, so it was no surprise on the night when the price continued to climb finally finishing at $115,395. But the top selling lot across both nights was the Australian Classic, 1973 Holden HQ Monaro GTS 308 Coupe Manual. As is often the case when it comes to Monaro’s, there was a lot of bidders interested in this car, and the final price of $121,714 was testament to that.
The Top Five results across the two nights can be viewed in the below gallery.
Burns & Co would like to offer a huge thank you to our vendors, staff and bidders for making this sale a success, and most importantly for choosing Burns & Co.
