Resto-Mods continue to rock the block! This beautiful 1954 Buick Special Custom Coupe known as “G54″ was among the top sellers of Saturday’s event at $220,000 – a record sale at auction.
The atmosphere in the Mohegan Sun Arena was electric today as one beautiful vehicle after another paraded across the Barrett-Jackson auction block. The enthusiastic crowd was eager to cheer on the feverish bidding action as the final offering of collector cars at the 2019 Northeast event had their turn in the spotlight, resulting in some impressive sales with a number of auction records broken.
Top seller Saturday – and for the entire auction – was this 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, at $280,500.
When the final gavel fell, the star cars emerged. At the top of the list was a stunning, low-mileage 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster, which brought in $280,500. A Serial #1 2019 Yenko Corvette came in at a close second, pulling in $258,500, while an extraordinary Resto-Mod Buick known as “G54” wowed the crowd with a sale price of $220,000 – a new record at auction. An Eleanor Tribute Edition Mustang ($187,000) and a 2017 Dodge Viper GTC ACR ($172,700), as well a 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 and a custom ’71 Plymouth ’Cuda (each selling for $165,000) were also among the top sellers of the day. Noteworthy record sales (landing in the Top 10 as well) included a custom 1969 Ford Bronco that went to its new home for $203,500 and a 1997 Toyota Supra Anniversary Edition that sold for $176,000.
This custom 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon sold for $85,000, 100% of which will benefit veterans through NS2 Serves.
The third and final charity vehicle of the auction came to the auction block today to help NS2 Serves, which helps veterans by providing IT training and employment assistance, at no cost to them. The stunning custom 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon – designed by Tommy Pike Customs in partnership with ARIES and Pennzoil – brought the gavel down on a $85,000 winning bid.
The Automobilia Auction also had a banner Super Saturday, with the last of nearly 500 authentic pieces of the past taking their turn on the block. Top seller of the day – and the auction – was a Chevrolet-Oldsmobile neon sign from the 1950s, going to its new home for $23,000. A pair of visible gas pumps also caught the attraction of bidders, as did two beautifully restored “mini-cars” – a 1956 Corvette with incredible detail and a hand-built “Speed Racer” prototype.
Barrett-Jackson is extremely grateful to all the fans, bidders and consignors – as well as the incredibly hospitable Mohegan Tribe and the entire team at Mohegan Sun – for making the 4th Annual Northeast Auction an event to remember.
