Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction

As the Saturday edition of the Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction 2022 progressed into the early afternoon, a 1964 Corvette Resto Mod Convertible became the highest priced classic collectible sold this weekend. The Lyndale Blue ’64 Corvette Custom with tube frame, Detroit Speed power steering and Vintage Air met reserve at $82,000. Then it proceeded to sell for $85,000 at the hammer. It was the most heavily bid upon collectible of the auction on Saturday, and was the high point of the day as Carlisle Auctions wrapped up their two-day auction sale in Lakeland, Florida. Earlier, a 2021 Lincoln Navigator became the high sale among late model offerings when it went for $97,000. The Lakeland Winter collector Car Auction was held at the Sun N Fun Expo, February 25-26, 2022.

We talked with the Carlisle Auction crew and found out they had a record number of consignments here for sale. And the crowd was amazing. There was a full house of bidders in the Sun N Fun Expo hangar on Friday. The excitement was high for this first Florida auction sale for 2022.

Cars-On-Line was on hand to take the temperature of the collector car market and see what this Lakeland sale will tell us about collector car values for 2022. The expectation is that prices on classic and collectible cars will be escalating this year. You can watch the Saturday sale with us at the Lakeland Auction live stream on You Tube.

With much of the U.S. frozen in snow and cold, the one place that has escaped the chill is Florida. That’s fortunate for us as we approached the second day of the Lakeland Winter Auction at the Sun N Fun Expo Campus in Lakeland, Florida.

On Friday, prices were inline with market prices. Here is what we watched sell here on Friday.

1961 Buick Electra 225 Convertible sold on Friday for $32,000
1934 Ford Hot Rod Pickup sold for $23,000
1950 BSA M20 Military Motorcycle
1969 Lotus Europa S sold for $14,000
1994 Chevrolet S10 Trick Truck sold for $47,500
1946 Chevy Custom Pickup bid up to $20,000

Bidding was active all day. The big action came in the middle of the afternoon as a staccato of top cars crossed the auction block. One thing we took away from the sale is that classic first generation Ford Mustang coupes are going up in value. For years the 1965 and 66 Mustang hardtops have languished in the $10,000 to $12,000 price range. But this weekend we saw several selling from between $20,000 and $27,000. Of course, Mustang convertibles and fastbacks have always carried a higher value. But it looks as though the coupes (hardtops) are catching up.

Every February a trio of airplane hangars come to life as the Lakeland Winter Auction invades the Sun N Fun Expo Campus. The event, a two-day classic and collector car auction powered by Carlisle Auctions, hosts 350+ pieces of automotive history along with buyers, sellers and a hard-working staff. The Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction is a means to connect buyers and sellers with an investment that truly accelerates in value. More so, the auction is a means to start or add to an existing collection. Some rides are head turners but are ultimately daily drivers. Others are top of the line, best of show type consignments. In between, there are a few that the owner can simply have fun with along the way.
