Spring Collector Car Auction Week
It’s a huge week in the classic and collector car world as several major auction companies are holding significant sales through the weekend. Lots of variety will be available and should offer something for every taste. From the second annual Porsche-only sale by Broad Arrow to an online-only sale from RM Sotheby’s, this is the week to buy for the real collector car enthusiasts.
Broad Arrow will hold their second annual Porsche Air|Water auction on Saturday, April 26 in Costa Mesa, CA. More than 50 collector Porsches will cross the auction block along with an assortment of Porsche memorabilia. Highlights at the Broad Arrow Porsche Air|Water sale include a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT with extremely low mileage and a 1989 RUF CTR Yellowbird that looks set to challenge the record price set by Gooding and Company earlier this year.
The 2025 Enthusiast Auction by Worldwide Auctioneers will offer a choice selection of classic and collector cars intended for the collectors who want to really drive their classics April 25 and 26 in Auburn, IN. We had the pleasure of speaking with John Kruse recently and everything he told us about the auction and the mindset behind Worldwide Auctioneers left us even more excited for this sale than we expected.
