Title: Auction at Auburn Indiana this weekend...
Post by: 69Z28-RS on May 06, 2014, 02:02:44 PM
There's a huge auction of cars in Auburn, IN this weekend (beginning Thursday), which include almsot 450 cars from the John Scotti collection (big Montreal car dealer who has a huge car collection).   All his cars are selling at no reserve, and includes several first gen camaro, big blocks, Z28's, etc..   Here's an example...

How could anyone want a 69 (especially HO 69   ;D) over something as beautiful as this.

Seriously though, there are a few things wrong with the car but if it has docs and/or the correct drivetrain it could bring a decent price.  Pretty car nonetheless.

Scotti probably has a half dozen early Z28, and maybe a dozen early Camaros in that auction.  I only posted this one to give you the link to peruse the others..  I think this green one will be the first of the first gens going thru the auction...  (I like the Rallye Green color).. :)

If you are an AACA member, you can get a free pass into the auction with your membership card.  It is in conjunction with the Auburn special meet.  I plan to go by... that's "by", not buy"....

Turned out to be a good auction. Plenty of #3 and #2 cars for less than $25,000. Camaros went about as expected.
Met solidaxle who was showing his 69 Z at the AACA meet. Nice car! Good restoration!

The 69 Pace Car did not sell.  Looks like they wanted at least $75,000.

And congrats to solidaxle on his First Junior! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-gen014.gif)

At the ACD Museum... when the most important thing about cars was design....
The museum is in the original show room and offices.

The NOMAD  (http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=AS14&ID=r1248&Order=alphabetical&feature=&collection=&grouping=The John Scotti Collection&category=Cars) sold for $44k plus buyer's fee.
I did not see it go across the block, but I did see it... Made my mouth water.  Actually not bad for a nice Nomad.
Prices are now online.

...And can you believe a 68 vert  (http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=AS14&ID=r0235&Order=alphabetical&feature=&collection=&grouping=&category=Cars)for $20k.  It's a 327/210, but that's a good buy for any convertible.

Hey DW, that green 68 Z  (http://www.auctionsamerica.com/events/feature-lots.cfm?SaleCode=AS14&ID=r1225&Order=runorder&feature=&collection=&grouping=The%20John%20Scotti%20Collection&category=Cars) brought $49k.

Dang!   If I'd been there and registered, I'd have thrown some retirement savings at it.. for that price.... :)
