GAA Classic Cars is preparing for its next marquee sale, running July 23 through 25 inside its eight-acre, climate-controlled facility known as “The Palace.” Rather than pitching a temporary tent like traveling auction outfits, GAA hosts its sales in the same permanent Greensboro venue year-round, letting consignors park their vehicles weeks ahead of the block while giving bidders a slick, digital-first way to participate. The recurring event typically moves more than 750 vehicles and upward of $20 million in sales across a single weekend.

Topping the July docket is a pair of numbers-matching 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 S-Code cars, each valued north of $500,000. Built to homologate Ford’s “semi-hemi” big-block V8 for NASCAR, the Boss 429 required Kar Kraft to hand-widen the Mustang’s engine bay to fit the motor. Bidders will choose between examples finished in Wimbledon White and Black Jade.

“Our inventory is growing dynamically every day, and this lineup is frankly spectacular,” said Kristen Harlow, marketing manager for GAA Classic Cars. “Whether you want a museum-grade supercar with delivery miles, a piece of music history, or a wild custom build that will stop traffic anywhere on Earth, this auction delivers the absolute wow factor.”

Also crossing the block:

  • A 2006 Ford GT showing just 18 original miles
  • A 1958 Nash Metropolitan formerly owned by Jimmy Buffett
  • A custom rocket replica mounted on a 1985 International Harvester truck, selling with no reserve
  • A collection of more than 50 Corvettes, including a consecutive run of model years from 1958 to 1967
  • A 1966 Ford GT40 MKII tribute build
  • A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6
  • A quartet of Mopar muscle: a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, 1970 Dodge Charger R/T, and 1971 Dodge Charger R/T

Gates open at 8 a.m. ET each day, with memorabilia crossing the block at 9 a.m. and vehicles following at 9:30 a.m. Bidding is available in person, by phone, and online, and the full auction streams live on YouTube. Fans can also catch exclusive interviews and highlights on the Racer Network’s live broadcast, airing Friday from 1-4 p.m. ET and Saturday from noon-3 p.m. ET.

The auction runs July 23-25 at 301 Norwalk St. in Greensboro, N.C. More information is available at GAAClassicCars.com.
