The GAA Classic Cars Auction in February 2025 kicked off the year with a resounding success, achieving a remarkable 78% sell-through rate of the lots offered. Held at the state-of-the-art Automobile Palace in Greensboro, NC, the event drew car enthusiasts and collectors who were eager to bid on a selection of 750 collector vehicles.
One of the highlights of the event was the Bidder's Choice Promotion, where the winning bidder had the opportunity to choose from one of three exceptional 2006 Ford GTs. The choices included a Mark IV Red GT with 837 miles, a Tungsten Silver GT with 828 miles, and a Centennial White GT with just 13 miles. The Mark IV Red GT was the top choice, fetching an impressive $556,200, while the Tungsten Silver GT followed closely at $540,000.
In addition to the excitement of the auction, the event also supported a significant cause. George and Megan Shinn, in collaboration with N.C. Baptists, initiated ServeNC, an ambitious $20 million initiative aimed at rebuilding homes and supporting ministry efforts in regions of North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. The auction played a pivotal role in this initiative, raising $562,420 through bids and donations. This contribution marked a crucial step towards achieving the fundraising goal, though efforts to reach the $20 million target continue.
Among the auction's top sales were several standout vehicles, including a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette that sold for $349,250 and a 1961 Cadillac Biarritz that garnered $231,120. The event also featured a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which sold for $192,500, and a 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170, fetching $170,500.
The excitement of the auction was captured live and broadcast on MAVTV, featuring exclusive interviews and detailed insights into the highlighted vehicles. MAVTV will continue to air reruns of this spectacular event in the coming months, allowing enthusiasts who missed the live event to experience the thrill of the auction.
