FALL CLASSIC CAR AUCTION OF TORONTO
RICK WALKER - TORONTO ONTARIO CANADA
The Fall Classic Car Auction of Toronto was one of the best in several years. The auction was held October 28th to 30th at the International Centre in Mississauga and the results were encouraging for car enthusiasts. Full results with sales figures are now available online at the CCP Auctions website....www.ccpauctions.com Many use the auction as a benchmark for market prices for classic cars and collectible vehicles. The auction is always well attended and traditionally vehicles that cross the block at the event are sold for prices that reflect current market values.
In some cases buyers may pick up a bargain or a seller may get more than they had hoped for but statistics have shown the CCP Auctions events in Toronto generally produce results that can reliably be used to gauge current market conditions.
Prices were strong across the board with many of the vehicles selling for prices well above the $100-thousand dollar mark, and a high percentage of the vehicles crossing the block did in fact sell.
Some of the highlights included 1970 Mustang Boss 302, with 28,000 original miles which sold for $105,000
