Auto Auction Bring$ In Buck$

We told you recently about the big auto auc­tion planned for Auburn ear­lier this month. Well, now the results are in, and they are quite impres­sive.

Auc­tions Amer­ica offered more than 770 vehi­cles, and more than 87 per­cent of them were sold at the auc­tion, for a total of $19.1 Mil­lion.

Auc­tions Amer­ica says that’s a 70 per­cent increase over 2013 fig­ures, and the company’s fall auc­tion which is planned for later this year and also will be held in Auburn, is tra­di­tion­ally even larger.

More than half the cars sold came from the 400-plus car John Scotti Col­lec­tion, offered to bid­ders at no reserve.

Sev­eral of the top-dollar lots were from the col­lec­tion, includ­ing the $213,400 Chrysler Cus­tom Impe­r­ial Air­flow and $104,500 for a 1991 Lam­borgh­ini Diablo.
