90 percent sell-through, charity sale highlight GAA auction

GAA Classic Cars wrapped up its 2021 auction calendar with its November sale at Greensboro, North Carolina, where 90 percent of the consignments went to new owners (GAA does not disclose total auction sales).

Notable sales, it did say, included a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 that sold for $195,000, a 1936 Packard Eight 1401 that went for $178,200, and a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk formerly owned by country music star Conway Twitty that brought $52,000 on the block.

A highlight was the sale of a 1956 Ford Victoria to benefit The Road Warrior Foundation and its provision of therapy for military veterans. The sale of the car and additional donations raised $41,000, GAA reported.

The auction was staged in GAA’s newly expanded Automobile Palace and the company already has announced plans for further expansion in 2022 of the space that already spans 5.5 acres.

GAA Classic Cars’ next auction is scheduled for February 24-26, 2022.
