Classic cars can be found in classic car auctions from companies such as Ford Motor Company and Muscle Car Auctions. Here, one may find historic mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, GTO and others in good condition. The attitude during these car auctions is that although today's automakers have come around recently with some classic style vehicles, they cannot match up to the original models. This is basically the reason that classic car auctions have gained popularity over the years.
The muscle cars of America generally started their rapid growth during the Second World War after introducing Chrysler 300 Letter Series in the mid 50s. The muscle car's popularity continued its growth in the 60s, marking a trend toward the factory's performance, thus reflecting the youth market's importance. Power escalation in the 70s brought about fierce competition and the market for these cars unfortunately fizzled out due to environmental, economic and political forces and the available models are prized collectables at Muscle Car Auctions.
Auction Companies make use of the automotive auction events to aid in Charity fundraising as was the case with Barrett Jackson Auction Company where it raised 4.4 million dollars during the 38th Scottsdale annual auction on 11th to 18th of January 2009. The funds gathered during this auction were engineered by selling fifteen collector vehicles as well as from fund raisers and crowd donations. The biggest catch in the auction of classic vehicles when dealing with the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company is that no commissions are collected on vehicles sold for charity sake. In only three events, seven million dollars was made in 2008 by the same company and some of the incredible vehicles responsible were a wild tribute Superbird and a newly produced 2010 Camaro.
In Scottsdale, Ariz, there is a Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction that is one of the favorite spots for buying antique classic vehicles. The Hurst/ Viper Coup broke the record in 2009 during its 50th anniversary during a Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Blair, Nebraska on January 26th 2009. This classic vehicle sold for 250,000 dollars to break the record. This highly-collectible vehicle was built by the Auto family of Woodhouse in conjunction with the Hurst Performance Vehicle Group. The Serial #01 Hurst/Viper were only built 50 of them features a pistol-grip shifter, massive black Hurst chrome wheels, a Corsa exhaust and a coil-over adjustable suspension. The Golden Anniversary was honored by finishing the vehicle in stunning paint of satin-gold with glossy black stripes. The features of the interior include floor mats customized with a Hurst logo and special charcoal leather with embroidered Hurst logos.
In Atlanta, Georgia, one can find a classic car auction brought about by simply taking a Chevy Tahoe's hood and getting baseball's biggest names to sign it, having numerous players sign it in the major parks of Baseball as well members of the Baseball Hall of Fame. This creates quite a unique baseball memorabilia and the last Chevy Tahoe that was uniquely baseball-themed fetched a 100,000 dollar final bid.
