GRG Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale

[Old Phart]

The auction is this weekend, Saturday January 1st and Sunday January 2nd, at the Scottsdale Pavilions. Website is www.grgauction.com

Is there anyone you know going? I thought I would be a bidder and check it out. It's also on the Saturday of the weekly car show and across the street behind the 5 and Diner. I called the auction office today and they said they will have around 200 cars consigned.

There is a Cobra and a Ford GT but the 2nd and 3rd pages show now data other than the car pic.

I found this video of the auction cars:

Bill, I would be there but must work Sat and Sun. Didn't even know about this one or I would have planned ahead. I'll run into you at one or more of the auctions this year.

They had a lot of cars but I only saw one sold, a 1912 White. Really stunning and huge brass era car. A lot of nice classic cars from the 30's and early 40's but somewhat before my era of interest. There were a huge number of Mustangs, first style 66-67 and late models. Like 15 of them. None of the other cars beside the White made their reserves while I was there - about 30 were across the block. Some nice C2 Corvettes too, but they are plastic . A 1953 replica Corvette that I thought should have been made of aluminium as it was a kit - fibreglass though . Most of the cars I saw were driver quality but some were very nice. Some of the bids struck me as market prices but it is hard for people who have a lot of money in the cars to face the new realities. The museum will be cool though when they get all the cars in. It is in the old Mervyn's across the street from the McDonald's. Oh and the auction was put on by Leo Gephart...

I was there Saturday for awhile and saw 3 cars sold, and on Sunday saw 9 cars sold. I missed alot of action because I was talking to some friends who were there. I will look on the web site for any other information I missed.

BTW, the GRG Auction New Years Eve Party was great. Many people I know are excited about the museum opening. In fact, I might show one of my cars there this year.
