The annual New England Auto Auction benefiting the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Maine posted sales of more than $4 million with 178 vehicles sold at a 72 percent sell-through rate.
Five vehicles brought $100,000 or more and the average sales price was nearly $24,000, the museum said.
“The shining star… was a 1957 Dual-Ghia, one of less than 120 ever produced and among less than 40 known to exist today,” the museum reported. The one at the auction sold for $275,000, the highest price paid at the recent auction.
A numbers-matching 1970 Plymouth Superbird driven only 54,000 miles since new sold for $187,000.
“The results speak for themselves,” said auction director Tony Stinson.
