I went to the Auctions America auction in Auburn IN on Labor Day Weekend with my dad. Her are a few photos from there.

This 66 Corvette convertible was sold new at Mount Motor Sales in Carlyle IL with an M21 and 3.70 gears. It won Bloomington Gold and was an NCRS Top Flight car. It sold for $143K.




This 62 Bel Air was a radio delete car with a date code correct QB block. There was no mention of if being a documented original 409/409 car so all I know for sure is that it was an original V8 Bel Air sport coupe. It was bid to $78K.



This 66 Chevy II SS had 65K miles and was unrestored with an older repaint. It was advertised as having the original engine and rearend and was certified as an original L79 car by Jerry M. It was bid to $70K.



This 66 Chevy II SS had 17K miles. It was advertised as having it's original engine and POP and was certified as an original L79 car by Jerry M. It sold for $82.5K.




This 66 Chevy II SS was a freshly restored car with very few miles on it since it was restored. It was advertised as having it's original sheet metal and engine and was certified as an original L79 car by Jerry M. It was bid to $100K.




This 69 Chevelle SS was advertised as a recent barn find that had just undergone a complete frame off restoration. According to the build sheet it was shipped to Roller Chevrolet in Monterey CA. The consignor said it had it's original engine and M21 transmission. He was going on and on about how correct the car was, but that black thermostat housing really stood out. It was also certified by Jerry M. as an original Monaco Orange L78 car. It was bid to $72.5K.




This 70 Superbird was an unrestored car with 1 repaint and was owned by it's original owner until earlier this year. It did have a replacement block that was backed by it's original TorqueFlite. It was bid to $100K.



This 70 Hemi Challenger R/T was a 4 speed car with a STP 4.10 rear that was sold new at Al-Jo Dodge in Emmaus PA. It was documented with a build sheet and was certified by G.G. According to the fender tag the Shaker hood isn't original to the car. Speaking of the fender tag, any ideas as to what happened to it? This car was bid to $150K.




This 29 Duesenberg Model J Convertible was the number one seller at $1.4M. This is chassis # 2168 and engine # J-147 and began life with a LeBaron Phaeton Sweep Panel body and was purchased new by H. Leslie Atlass whose family owned the Mallory Battery Company in Lincoln IL. In 1930 P.K. Wrigley convinced Atlass to swap bodies with his Murphy Convertible Coupe which is body # 821. It's powered by a 420 ci straight eight producing 265 horsepower.



This 37 Delahaye 135 Cabriolet was the number two bid car at $575K. It's powered by a triple carburetor six cylinder with a 4 speed.

The Essenhaus in Middlebury IN had their final cruise in of the year this past Thursday and there were over 1,300 cars in attendance. Here are a couple of cars I took photos of.

I've posted photos of this 64 GTO before. It's Alamo Beige with a Saddle interior and is an original tri-power car.



This 70 Superbird is a V code Six Pack car with a TorqueFlite that was purchased new by the owners father at D.L. Miller in Mishawaka IN. It was in storage for 30 years and has just over 30K miles on it. It is an original drivetrain car that was recently restored.



This 68 Chevelle SS is an original Tripoli Turquoise car.



Bryant Goldstone's 2015 Drag Week runner up 73 Javelin was on hand. He averaged a 6.95 @ 208 for the week with a best pass of 6.78 @ 210 at Indianapolis Raceway Park on the second day. He made a six second pass on 4 of the 5 days. This car always attracts a crowd.



I'm not a big fan of exotics, but this brand new Lamborghini Huracan was also attracting quite a crowd. It has a V10 producing 610 horse power that is backed by a 7 speed transmission. I believe it is AWD as well.
