GAA Classic Cars closed out its July auction weekend at The Palace in Greensboro with an impressive 81% sell-through rate, reaffirming why the collector car community keeps returning to this North Carolina powerhouse. Over three days, bidders in the room, on the phone, and online chased down everything from blue-chip muscle to modern supercars, proving once again that the collector vehicle and automotive memorabilia market remains as strong as ever.
Topping the charts was a jaw-dropping 2006 Ford GT, finished with all four factory options and showing a mere 18 original miles on the odometer. The modern-day supercar tribute to the GT40 crossed the block for $712,800, making it the highest-selling vehicle of the entire event. It’s the kind of result that keeps serious collectors watching GAA Classic Cars‘ calendar closely, since low-mile, well-optioned examples like this rarely come up for sale anywhere else.
Right behind it was a Black Jade 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, one of the most legendary muscle cars ever built. A phone bidder claimed the car for $632,500, sending this icon on a long haul from Greensboro to its new home in Montana’s Big Sky Country. Strong muscle car money like this is becoming the norm rather than the exception at GAA Classic Cars, and it’s a big reason so many owners choose to consign here rather than elsewhere.
The GAA Classic Cars community showed up for more than just cars this July, raising $40,000 for the Greensboro Symphony to support local music and arts education. Special thanks go to Laura Ashley Live Art for creating a one-of-a-kind live artwork that helped make the fundraiser such a success. The auction’s dedicated charity vehicle sale added another $65,000 for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, with Reliable Carriers generously donating transportation for the charity Corvette to its new owner.
GAA Classic Cars isn’t slowing down after a weekend like this. The team is already gearing up for its next collector vehicle auction, returning to The Palace November 5-7 with an anticipated lineup of roughly 750 collector vehicles. Whether you plan to bid in person, by phone, or online, it’s shaping up to be one of the largest and most anticipated sales on the fall calendar, and another chance to see why so many collectors keep coming back.
GAA Classic Cars hosts some of the nation’s premier collector vehicle auctions out of its Greensboro facility, giving buyers, sellers, and enthusiasts a first-class experience backed by live events, national television coverage on the RACER Network, and a genuine commitment to automotive history. Results like this July’s are a big part of why the market for classic muscle and modern exotics keeps climbing, a trend we’ve also been tracking closely in our recent coverage of the record-setting Barrett-Jackson Columbus sale.
