It’s going to be hard to find another auction catalogue as jam-packed with Aussie Muscle as this one!
The headliner is a genuine, iconic 1977 Holden LX Torana SL/R 5000 A9X sedan, finished in the classic colour of Flamenco Red. A rare icon, one of only 405 A9Xs ever built, this is a serious Aussie Muscle and Motorsport legend, with not many survivors being a matching numbers example like this one!
Joining it is a remarkable 1988 HSV VL SS Group A ‘Walkinshaw Commodore,’ Build No.37. A true homologation legend that is now highly sought after in the Australian car market, this Walkinshaw is a highly original, matching numbers example that comes with the books and authenticity certificate to verify!
While Holden vehicles are plentiful, there is also a grand selection of Fords to choose from, including an iconic 1978 XC Falcon Cobra! Offered unreserved, this easily recognisable muscle legend, Build No.89, is a true matching numbers survivor that will suit the avid Ford fanatic.
Also going under the hammer are a wonderful pair of 1970s Ford XB Falcon GT 351 V8 hardtops which are sure to get the interest of bidders. With one finished in Yellow Blaze and the other in Apollo Blue, the choice is yours as to which one you’d like more!
Featuring alongside these local legends is a tremendous selection of modern and classic Aussie heroes, including a 1967 Ford XR Falcon GT, HSV GenF GTS sedan, XY Falcon GT-HO tribute in Onyx Black, 1972 HQ Statesman Deville V8, two Sandman panel vans, HG and HQ Kingswoods, plus an LX Torana SS hatch with A9X-inspired additions!
There’s much more to see in terms of both Aussie & American muscle on Night 1!
Torana enthusiasts will be stoked with the inclusion of a very desirable 1970 LC GTR and a 1972 LJ with a 355 stroker V8, which continue to remain so popular today!
Modern Australian performance is equally well represented with the inclusion of a highly desirable 2015 HSV GTSR R8 Maloo with the Walkinshaw 440 upgrade, and a 2017 HSV GTSR W1 sedan finished in Light My Fire.
Historically significant cars, such as a 2016 Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint further strengthens the Night 1 catalogue. This example, presenting as new and with only 40kms on the clock, is marked as Build No.500 of 500 - the last example made by Ford Australia!
Joining these Aussie icons in going under the hammer on Night 1 are 2007 and 2011 Shelby GT500 Mustangs, plus one of the limited-edition Tickford ‘Trans Am’ Mustang GTs.
Night 2 introduces an exciting collection of American and international classics. Highlights include a desirable 1966 Chevrolet C2 Corvette Stingray convertible, 1965 and 1967 Ford Mustang fastbacks, a 2001 Mustang Cobra, 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, 1972 Ford Ranchero,1956 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine, 1934 Oldsmobile F34 saloon, a pair of ’60s Ford Thunderbirds, a pair of Ford Model As (coupe and roadster), and a stunning 1972 Lincoln Mark IV coupe.
If you love everything about European motoring, you’ll be pleased to see offerings that include a 1968 Aston Martin DBS Vantage, 1989 Aston Martin Virage, 1993 Jaguar XJS, 1950 MG TD and a 1955 Morris Minor sedan. A Bay Window VW Kombi, outstanding 1961 Triumph TR3A and a delightful pair of 1930s Austin 7s round out the highlights for Night 2.
While the cars are popular in these auctions, the motorcycles are desirable as well, and this catalogue features some top-quality bikes!
The star motorcycle in this auction is a very rare 1922 Henderson Deluxe. Fitted with a 1300cc four-cylinder engine capable of 100mph, the Deluxe was as reliable as it was fast. This example underwent a quality restoration many years ago and is in running condition, which is amazing for a 104-year-old motorcycle!
Joining the Henderson is a 1937 Indian Chief, 1929 Indian Scout, a desirable 1971 Honda CB750 K1, 2000 Honda Valkyrie cruiser, 1965 Honda C72 Dream, 1926 Douglas, 1970 Triumph Tiger and a very cool 1984 Yamaha ‘Tri Zinger’ kids’ trike.
Automobilia collectors are also catered for in the July auction, with pedal cars, framed prints and photos, signed memorabilia, number plates and garage collectables.
Night 3 offers a slightly different flavour, rounding out the auction with affordable classics, projects and enthusiast vehicles. Highlights include a 1993 Toyota Coaster 15-seater bus, 2015 VW Touareg SUV, 2010 Holden VE Commodore, 2006 HSV Clubsport tribute, 1994 Mercedes E220 sedan, Jaguar XJ6 and X-Type saloons, a Holden HZ ute and LX Torana project, 1960 Midget Speedway car, and a Hot Rod-style golf buggy!
The diversity of Night 3 ensures there is something for everyone, whether chasing a future restoration project, affordable classic or unique collector’s item.
