October Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction – Three Big Nights

Burns & Co returns this October with another major three-night Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction, commencing Monday 5th October and running through to Wednesday 7th October 2026.

NIGHT 1 – Monday 5th October 2026 – 6.00pm AEDT

NIGHT 2 – Tuesday 6th October 2026 – 6.00pm AEDT

NIGHT 3 – Wednesday 7th October 2026 – 6.00pm AEDT

The October catalogue brings together another impressive selection of Australian muscle and collector cars, American V8s, European classics, motorcycles, motoring memorabilia and enthusiast vehicles across three big nights.

Australian Muscle Takes Centre Stage

October is a particularly strong offering for Australian muscle enthusiasts, led by an impressive selection of Holden Monaros, Toranas and performance Commodores.

Among the headline vehicles is a 1968 Holden HK Monaro GTS 327 Type 2 V8 Manual, one of only 283 Type 2 HK 327 Monaros built. Finished in Warwick Yellow, it has been held by its current owner since June 1984 and comes with extensive supporting paperwork and provenance.

Joining it is a genuine 1970 Holden LC GTR XU-1 Torana, finished in Rally Red and retaining all original identification tags, along with a 1970 Holden HT Monaro GTS 350 with an extraordinary two-owner history and painstaking restoration.

Another standout is a genuine 1977 Holden LX Torana SS Hatch, factory ordered with the 308 V8 and four-speed manual, while the Commodore era is represented by an ex-Victoria Police 1985 VK Commodore SL V8 and a remarkably low-kilometre 2017 VF Motorsport Edition Build No. 0577/1200, showing just 4,937km and being offered UNRESERVED.

Ford enthusiasts haven’t been forgotten either, with a 1975 Ford XB Falcon Coupe John Goss Special joining the Night 1 line-up. A genuine two-owner example, it has undergone a no-expense-spared restoration and is currently powered by an enhanced XY GT-spec 351 Cleveland V8, with its fully rebuilt original matching-numbers 302 V8 block supplied with the vehicle.

Adding even more depth to the Holden line-up are a 1969 Holden HT Monaro GTS 308 V8 Manual Coupe and 1974 Holden HQ Monaro GTS 308 V8 Manual, with both being offered UNRESERVED.

American Muscle, European Classics & Something Different

October delivers plenty of variety, headed by a genuine 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 WS23L Coupe. Representing the inaugural year of Dodge’s R/T designation, the Coronet combines genuine factory R/T pedigree with a rebuilt 440ci big-block V8 and extensive refurbishment.

For European classic enthusiasts, a particularly interesting offering is a 1975 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster, held by the same owner from 1975 until 2026. Purchased new from Mackintosh Motors in Frankston, it remains largely original and comes with its original owner’s manual, service book and purchase receipt.

Also joining the mix is 2002 Bullet SS Build No. 1 – an Australian hand-built V8 manual roadster originally retained as the personal car of the company’s founder. Powered by a Lexus 1UZ-FE 4.0-litre V8, the car has previously been magazine featured, including by Just Cars.

An Austin Healey, Bentley T2, Cadillac Eldorado, BMW Z3, Ford FPV GT-P and Mercedes-Benz 420SEL are among the other classic and prestige vehicles adding further variety to the catalogue.

Three Nights, Plenty to Explore

Motorcycles and memorabilia also form part of the October offering, with entries including a 1942 Harley-Davidson, 1972 Bultaco Matador 250, Honda Mini Trail and Yamaha 100.

Night 3 rounds out the auction with a diverse selection spanning a Jaguar XJ-SC V12 and Mercedes-Benz SLK320 Limited Edition through to a 1970 Chevrolet C60 V8 truck, 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ47, 1987 Chevrolet Suburban 454 V8, 1988 Chevrolet 3500HD Silverado, Land Rover Series 1, 1989 Isuzu Rodeo camper/motorhome and more.

With pre-bidding now open across all three nights, buyers can explore the full October catalogues and place their bids ahead of the live auctions commencing from 6.00pm AEDT each night.

The much-anticipated Walter Jobson Collection has concluded at Burns & Co Auctions, bringing to a close an extraordinary four-part auction showcasing a lifetime dedicated to collecting.

At 94 years of age, Walter began collecting more than six decades ago, sharing the passion with his late wife as together they amassed an extensive collection of petrol and oil memorabilia, automotive collectables, advertising signs, petrol pumps, oil bottles, tins, toys, telephones and much more.

Offered genuinely and unreserved across four nights, the collection attracted strong interest from collectors around Australia, with the total result exceeding $1 million including Buyer’s Premium.

Part 3 produced another major result when an Original Golden Fleece Light Box with Acrylic Ram sold for $32,037.50 inc. BP.

More than an auction

Collections like Walter’s aren’t assembled overnight.

They represent decades of searching, buying, preserving and enjoying pieces that tell a story – and when the time eventually comes to sell, bringing a collection of this significance to market requires more than simply listing the items for auction.

From cataloguing and presentation through to photography, promotion, bidder engagement and four nights of competitive bidding, the Walter Jobson Collection demonstrates what can be achieved when a significant collection is presented to the market properly.

PROCESS – PRESENTATION – PROFESSIONALISM – PLANNING – PROMOTION = PRICE

Burns & Co Auctions would like to sincerely thank Walter for entrusting us with the sale of his remarkable collection, along with the bidders and buyers from across Australia and beyond who participated throughout the four-night event.

If you have a significant collection – whether automotive memorabilia, petrol and oil, collectables, motorcycles, vehicles or something a little different – our team would love to hear from you.

“Auctioning Is Just So Much Easier Than Trying to Sell It Ourselves.”

When Andy and his wife Donna were tasked with finalising the estate of Donna’s late stepfather, among the items left behind were two very different pieces of motoring history.

A 1962 Volkswagen Kombi Ambulance, complete with a log book showing its former service with St John Ambulance in Upwey, Victoria, and a charming 1920s Chevrolet 2 Door Sedan.

Both vehicles had formed part of Carl’s private collection and were entrusted to Burns & Co to be offered UNRESERVED in our August/September Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction.

For Andy and Donna, choosing auction rather than trying to sell the vehicles privately made the process considerably easier.

“Auctioning is just so much easier than trying to sell it ourselves, and I think we’re getting a much better result doing it as well. I’m sure of it.”

And when the hammer fell, the family couldn’t have been happier with the overall outcome.

“We’re just so pleased with the results.”

“The VW went for way higher than what we expected. The Chevrolet went for a little less than what we expected, but overall we’re just over the moon.”

But there is a particularly meaningful story behind where the proceeds are ultimately headed.

Donna’s stepfather had left instructions that the proceeds from his estate be divided between four organisations important to him, including St John Ambulance, the CFA, Puffing Billy and Scouts.

It makes the sale of the Kombi particularly fitting, given its own history serving with St John Ambulance in Victoria.

For Andy, it wasn’t only the auction result that impressed. He also spoke highly of the service he and Donna received throughout the process, particularly from Burns & Co’s Anton Cooper.

“Anton came out to the property to check out the vehicles and some of the collectables, and he’s just been more than helpful. The whole process has been very easy.”

The same applied when it came time to retrieve the vehicles from the property.

“Even the guy that came out to pick up the vehicles was just super helpful. He just couldn’t do enough.”

And the family’s experience with Burns & Co isn’t necessarily finished yet.

Andy and Donna are continuing to work through a number of collectables from the estate and are planning to speak with our memorabilia team about potentially offering further items at auction.

We’re pleased to have been able to make one part of the process a little easier for Andy and Donna, while helping them honour Donna’s late stepfather’s  wishes and achieve an overall result they were “over the moon” with.

Thank you to Andy and Donna for entrusting Burns & Co with these two special vehicles.

Thinking of selling?

Whether you’re selling one vehicle, an entire collection or helping to finalise an estate, we’d love to have a conversation.

We’re Hiring | Memorabilia Team Member

Burns & Co Auctions are market leaders in the field of both in-house and on-property auctions for Classic and Collectable Cars and Motorcycles, along with Memorabilia and Collectables.

Originating in Mildura, Northwest Victoria in 2015, the business has rapidly grown to now be recognised and respected as a national brand and a leader in its chosen fields.

In 2019, the business commenced its relocation into Bayswater, Victoria, with further expansion occurring in 2025 through the opening of our NSW operation in Beresfield, near Newcastle.

The Burns & Co business consists primarily of three teams – Automotive, Memorabilia & Collectables, and Administration & Marketing – and we’re now looking for a new team member to join our Memorabilia & Collectables team.

Could This Be You?

This position will complement and assist our existing team, and the successful applicant will ideally bring with them a passion for history and our past, a passion for early advertising and marketing, a passion for collecting and an eye for attention to detail.

Or maybe you’ve had the desire to become a leading auctioneer but have never had the opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an industry-leading brand and company and learn the auction business back to front and from the ground up.

The Role Includes:

• Collecting, receipting and preparing items for auction
• Photography and cataloguing lots
• Conducting auctions, either timed online or simulcast
• Deliveries, including door pickups, courier consignments and Australia Post

All our auctions are catalogued and conducted through EasyBids, and full training will be provided in all aspects of the position.

Last year, Burns & Co conducted around 120 auctions with a turnover of approximately $40 million, so it’s a busy place with no two days the same!

A Unique Opportunity With Plenty of Upside

This is a full-time position based in Bayswater, Victoria, suited to someone who is well presented, punctual and looking for a unique opportunity with plenty of upside.

There’s opportunity for growth in all aspects of the business, including cataloguing, administration, auctioneering and logistics.

If you’re brimmed full of enthusiasm, physically fit, have a willingness to learn and are a naturally passionate person, we’d love to hear from you.

A current driver’s licence is essential, as is a team-first attitude.

A further plus would be a willingness to undertake the odd road trip, with some interstate travel from time to time, along with the occasional weekend commitment when we conduct on-property auctions.

The opportunity to obtain your HR and forklift licence will also present down the track.

Interested?

Feel free to call Ashley Burns on 0408 618 294 for further information or just an initial chat.

Please submit your application to ashley@burnsandco.com.au and include a covering letter.

Applications close 5.00pm Friday 18th September.

The Last of the Last: Ford Australia’s Final Saleable FGX XR6 Turbo Ute Heads to Auction

When Ford Australia ceased local manufacturing in 2016, it marked the end of one of the most iconic chapters in Australian motoring history.

Now, one of the vehicles that symbolised that historic moment is set to go under the hammer with Burns & Co Auctions.

This 2016 Ford FGX XR6 Turbo Ute is accompanied by a Ford Australia Certificate of Authenticity, recognising it as:

“The final saleable standard specification FGX Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute built by Ford Australia.”

The certificate is signed by Graeme Whickman, then President and CEO of Ford Motor Company Australia and records the vehicle’s production date as 29 July 2016.

Finished in Smoke Metallic with black trim, the ute is powered by Ford’s legendary turbocharged six-cylinder engine and paired with the highly desirable factory six-speed manual transmission. With just 3,340 kilometres showing, it represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire one of the final chapters in Australia’s automotive manufacturing story.

An exclusive farewell to Australian manufacturing

The current vendor, John, purchased the ute directly from Ford in 2016.

John recalls attending what he describes as an invitation-only auction for Ford dealers, held at Avalon Airport following the closure of Ford Australia’s Broadmeadows manufacturing plant.

According to John, only a handful of historically significant vehicles were offered.

“They had about six different vehicles at the auction,” he recalled, “it was a Ford dealer invitation-only auction.”

What John remembers most, however, wasn’t just the vehicles -it was the people.

Ford invited many of the employees who had built the final vehicles to attend the event, creating a fitting farewell to decades of Australian manufacturing.

“They invited the employees who actually built the cars. The engine builders, the body builders and the people who worked on the production line for that final build were all there.”

According to John, Ford made the occasion a celebration, bringing together employees and dealers to recognise the people behind the Blue Oval’s Australian legacy.

“It was quite a significant day for Ford Motor Company. It was the last of the last of the last.”

Preserved for a decade

John understood the significance of the ute from the day he bought it and has treated it as a collector’s vehicle ever since.

He has never personally driven it.

The majority of the kilometres were accumulated while the vehicle remained with Ford, including use by one of Ford’s engineers before it was offered for sale.

John believes the vehicle’s specification makes it even more desirable.

“Instead of just building a ute, they built a turbo manual ute, which is pretty rare. That made it pretty significant in a lot of ways.”

Since acquiring it, the ute has been carefully preserved as part of John’s private collection.

It is offered with its Ford Australia Certificate of Authenticity, original owner’s manual and supporting documentation, with the owner’s manual also recording Ford Motor Company as the original owner.

Passing it on

After ten years of ownership, John’s decision to sell has nothing to do with the vehicle itself.

Having sold the warehouse where his collection was stored, he has begun downsizing.

“Otherwise, I’d keep it,” he said. “I’ve had my enjoyment out of owning it, and now somebody else can enjoy it.”

John hopes the vehicle finds a home with someone who appreciates its place in Australian motoring history.

“It’s a very significant part of Australian motoring history. It’s pretty damn special.”

Coming to auction

The 2016 Ford FGX XR6 Turbo Ute will be offered as one of the headline vehicles in Burns & Co’s August/September Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction, closing across:

Monday 31 August, Tuesday 1 September & Wednesday 2 September 2026.

Whether you’re a lifelong Blue Oval enthusiast or a serious collector of Australian-built performance vehicles, opportunities to own a vehicle of this significance are exceptionally rare.

The Walter Jobson Collection on its way to Melbourne – The Next Chapter Begins

After an incredible week undertaking the major task of retrieving the Walter Jobson Collection from Mullumbimby, NSW, the Burns & Co team is now making its way back to Melbourne.

For 94-year-old Walter Jobson, watching a lifetime’s collection leave his property was always going to be emotional. Yet after spending several days alongside the Burns & Co team, it wasn’t the trucks or the logistics that stood out most to him – it was the care with which every item was handled.

“Things that I would have just chucked in the back of my trailer when I went to Bendigo Swap or went to other swap meets over the years… they just took so much care with things. They packed everything so carefully.”

Walter was particularly impressed watching the team wrap and protect every piece before beginning the 1,700-kilometre journey back to Bayswater.

That care extended to the library lamps – the very first things he and his late wife collected together back in the 1970s, before the collection grew into the extraordinary collection it is today.

Before the trucks departed, Walter made a point of personally thanking every member of the retrieval team.

“I’m impressed with the whole business. I shook the hands of every one of them. What more can I say? It’s just a good organisation, I reckon you’re working for.”

Walter’s daughter Sue was equally complimentary, describing the retrieval as:

“It couldn’t have gone better.”

She added that:

“Ashley did everything that he said he was going to do.”

Walter also reflected on how respectfully the team conducted themselves throughout the retrieval.

Walter explained that his sleep pattern changes from day to day, meaning he never knows whether he’ll wake at 6.00am or 10.00am. Despite the team beginning work early each morning, he was genuinely surprised by how quietly they went about their work.

“I never know what time I’m getting up in the morning… but they were in the house and I didn’t hear a thing. They were so quiet. They went out of their way to help an old guy like me and I quite enjoyed the whole experience.”

With the collection now safely returning to Melbourne, the next chapter begins.

Over the coming weeks, every sign, globe, petrol pump, oil bottle, telephone, motorcycle, toy and piece of automobilia will be individually unpacked, researched, photographed and catalogued before being presented to collectors across Australia.

We’ll be sharing regular behind-the-scenes updates as the cataloguing progresses and revealing some of the remarkable pieces that make up this extraordinary 60-year collection.

Watch the video below of Ashley’s visit with Walter prior to the collection retrieval this week, where together, they walked through the incredible collection of petrol & oil memorabilia, enamel signs, petrol pumps, globes, motorcycles, vintage toys and automobilia, with Walter sharing the stories behind many of his treasured pieces.

Now, Walter has entrusted Burns & Co with the honour of presenting his remarkable lifetime collection to the market.

Watch this space. The journey is only just beginning.

Auction date to be announced soon.

“Everything You Said You Were Going To Do, You Did.”

When Brendan decided it was time to sell his stunning 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake, he didn’t just contact one auction house.

He spoke with several.

One left him feeling, in his words, “very underwhelmed on the telephone.”

Another, based in Queensland, didn’t return his enquiry for two and a half weeks.

“By the time they got back to me, I’d already spoken to Anton and the car was with Burns & Co.”

Instead, Brendan chose Burns & Co – and says he couldn’t be happier with the decision.

His ultra-rare Shelby Super Snake sold for $126,200 including Buyer’s Premium in our July Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction.

For Brendan, it wasn’t just the result that stood out. It was the experience from start to finish.

“Anton and the team, especially Anton because he was my main contact, made everything so seamless.”

“It was professional.”

“Everything you said you were going to do, you did.”

“They were informative. They kept in contact the whole time and I couldn’t say better things about them.”

Although Brendan wasn’t able to watch the auction unfold live, he was kept informed throughout the evening while out for dinner with friends.

Reflecting on the experience afterwards, he didn’t hesitate when asked if he’d recommend Burns & Co.

“100%. I would.”

In fact, Brendan has already decided where he’ll sell his next cars.

“I’ve actually got a couple of other cars I’ll be looking at selling over the next six to twelve months, and I’ll definitely be using you guys again.”

Thank you, Brendan, for trusting Burns & Co with the sale of your Shelby Super Snake. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to assisting you again in the future.

Selling a cherished classic car is never an easy decision.

For Gary, the choice to part with his genuine two-owner 1974 Holden HQ Kingswood Sedan – a car he’d owned since 1976 – came with plenty of emotion and uncertainty.

The Salamanca Red HQ was offered UNRESERVED in our July Muscle, Classics & Motoring Auction, eventually selling for $46,433 including Buyer’s Premium.

Like many vendors, Gary admits he was nervous about selling without a reserve.

“I actually balked at it at the time Ashley suggested it… I had to make a quick decision and I trusted him.”

That trust was tested in the days leading up auction night.

Watching the early bidding, Gary became concerned that his HQ wasn’t going to reach the figure he hoped for.

He called Burns & Co Director Ashley Burns during the auction.

The advice was simple.

“He said, ‘Stop looking at it… it can change so quickly.'”

Gary took that advice, stopped watching and let the auction do what it does best.

By the end of the night, the market had spoken.

Reflecting on the experience afterwards, Gary couldn’t speak highly enough of the Burns & Co team.

“Wonderful. I couldn’t fault it.”

“Everything you said was right.”

What impressed Gary most wasn’t simply the final price, but the way the team worked throughout the process.

“The team takes it right to the very limit to get the best result. They’re not just knocking it down when they feel like it – they just get the best out of everything.”

He also praised the professionalism of everyone involved.

“When I came in to look at the cars before the auction, all the boys were fantastic. You couldn’t have a nicer group of people.”

“Very, very professional.”

Perhaps the greatest compliment came when Gary explained he was already recommending Burns & Co to others.

“I’m already telling people about it… If I need you again, I’ll definitely bring my car there. I’ve still got a couple more yet.”

Thank you, Gary, for trusting Burns & Co with the sale of your HQ Kingswood. We genuinely appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping you again when the time comes.
