Sixty-five collector cars and 120 pieces of automobilia from a single collection will be auctioned – all at no reserve – in Waxahachie, Texas, on Saturday as Motostalgia offers the McPherson Collection to the highest bidders.
Motostalgia describes the collection with such words as “eclectic” and “diverse,” noting that it is comprised of British, European and American cars, trucks, classics and sports cars, from pre-war through modern exotics and muscle cars.
The collection is owned by the McPherson brothers, Glen and Dale, who also own and operate Retro Motors, a classic car dealership in Waxahachie that they describe on their website as “a labor of love founded around a shared passion for cars genetically infused by our dad, Orville.”
The auction will take place at the McPhersons’ main vehicle warehouse in Waxahachie, which is south of Dallas. The auction coincides with the NHRA Fall Nationals at the Texas Metroplex motorsports complex, located about a mile away from the auction site.
“The McPherson brothers are passionate about two things: cars and diligent care,” according to a Motostalgia news release. “Their collection was assembled with the main focus of gathering the cars that they loved and finding the best example of each model.
“The result was a diverse collection that showcased their eclectic taste and passion for meticulous care.”
The highlights of the auction read like a smorgasbord of desirable makes and models, which include a 1964 Jaguar E-type roadster, 1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 roadster, 1954 Buick Skylark convertible, 1969 Ford Shelby GT350 fastback, 1935 DeSoto Airflow, 1951 Ford Country Squire woody wagon, 1967 Iso Rivolta IR300 GT, 1992 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, 1937 Ford Deluxe V8, 1958 Facel Vega FVS Series 4, 1999 Lotus Esprit V8, 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, 1993 GMC Typhoon and a 2003 Ferrari 575M Maranello.
Motostalgia says each of the vehicles is in immaculate, turnkey condition.
“Motostalgia is very appreciative of the hard work and impeccable attention to detail that this collection has received,” the news release says. “The McPherson Collection features the widest breadth of collector cars from iconic American muscle to Italian and European classics to a broad sampling of modern and vintage classics.”
The automobilia features neon signs, models, fuel pumps, artworks and advertising pieces.
