400+ Classics Spanning Automotive History Available for Two Days ONLY in Lakeland

Feb. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- Look, another classic car auction is on TV.  Why is that the case?  The answer is simple, car auctions are exhilarating.  They allow enthusiasts of varying economic backgrounds to dream big and allow some of those same enthusiasts to own a piece of history.  For two days this month, February 26 and 27, Carlisle Auctions of Pennsylvania will be in Lakeland not only auctioning off cars, but connecting a would-be owner with their first or next classic.  Why sit on a couch and watch auctions on TV when Lakeland comes to life with classic car excitement in less than three weeks?

The auction itself runs as part of Winter Florida AutoFest.  This annual rite of passage for local, regional and snowbird car lovers takes place February 25-28.  The event as a whole welcomes Tom Wopat, Luke Duke from TV’s Dukes of Hazzard, a pair of classic car shows, a swap meet, the Air & Coach Concours, great food, family fun and more.  Within that is the star attraction, two days of fast paced auction action.  The auction welcomes a wide array of classics, mostly cars, but does include trucks, motorcycles and some other unique items.   Each item crosses the block and as long as the reserve cost (if any) has been met, it will sell to the highest bidder…simple as that!  It’s what happens in between that makes events like these a must-attend.  Call it the fastest three minutes you’ll ever experience.

Consignment spots sold out in days and of the 400+ that are part of the event, over 100 will be showcased indoors, signifying the best of the best.  These high-end cars will not only cross the block, but will serve as a backdrop for the event overall.  Since outdoor recreation is such a big deal in the region, the Carlisle Auction also will run some boats, and possibly an airplane or two.

So…what exactly is available to bid on?  With so many options, one sheet can’t hold all the details, but there are a few worth calling out and registering to bid on.  First, any street rod lover will want to check out a 1934 Chevrolet Master 5 Window Coupe.  This car has gone through an amazing restoration process, has less than 1,000 miles on it since its restoration and comes with all applicable paperwork, giving much more value to its new owner.  In addition, go back more than 45 years for a 1970 Ford Falcon 429 SCJ.  This car is a real survivor, having less than 6,000 original miles on it and just one owner to its name.  Finally, when buying your ultimate toy, one needs an awesome hauler to take it home.  What better consignment could there be than a 1998 Kenworth T600.  Packed with every available Kenworth option during its time, the hauler includes 1080 DLP/HD video projection, a Blu Ray player and drop down motorized screen with 5.1 THX surround speakers and LCD TV, a digital fireplace that doubles as a pass through to the cab, Creston touch screen system automation, Lutron electric light dimming system, motorized window shades and more.  Equip it with a car ramp and it can haul your classic too!
