RM Auctions’ annual ‘Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale’ sale returns March 26th – 28th, 2010 – Eclectic range of over 400 cars on offer, including NASCAR Cup Cars and Detroit muscle
Calling all NASCAR fans! Following the excitement of the NASCAR season opener on the weekend, RM Auctions, the world’s largest collector car auction house, announces the consignment of cars with a NASCAR connection to its annual ‘Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale’ event, March 26th – 28th in Florida.
Taking pole position is a 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS NASCAR, raced by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Challenging for the lead is a 2003 Ford Fusion NASCAR, raced by Mark Martin and David Ragan with many strong finishes, and setting the pace is a low-mileage 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Coupe, one of two built for the 2007 Budweiser Shootout at the Daytona International Speedway. The line-up also includes a custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe, specially built for off-track driving by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
“Regarded as South Florida’s premier collector car event, our Fort Lauderdale auction is shaping up to be an exciting one, offering a diverse selection of over 400 American and European classics, exotic sports cars and Detroit muscle, many without reserve,” says Donnie Gould, RM partner and a 30 year veteran in the collector car hobby.
“As the nation’s most popular spectator sport, public fascination with NASCAR Cup cars is a strong draw to the event,” he adds.
Other highlights of the sale include a one-off 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, custom built by General Motors’ stylist Bill Mitchell for industrialist and Indianapolis racing sponsor Ozzie Olson; and a great range of ’50s and ’60s classics, including a desirable 1957 Ford Thunderbird “E-Code” Convertible, which was displayed at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas from 1988 through 2007.
RM’s ‘Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale’ event will be held at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Centre on March 26th – 28th. For further information, please call +1 954-566-2209 or visit www.rmauctions.com.
