Burns & Co’s September Muscle, Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction is Jam-Packed with Quality
Burns & Co. Auctions have another big three-night auction coming up. The September Muscle, Classic & Collectable Car & Motorcycle Auction will be held on 1, 2 and 3 September, with bidding commencing from 6:00pm each evening.
Online pre-bidding is now open on a wide range of quality cars, motorcycles and memorabilia, from fantastic Aussie muscle to all-time favourites and American classics. The September auction also features iconic European and Asian cars, entry-level club cars and collectable motorcycles.
Burns and Co. are specialists at selling Aussie muscle and classic cars, and the September auction is no different. Holdens up for grabs include a special order (for GM-H exec., Max Wilson) HQ Monaro GTS 350 coupe, as well as HT, HX LE and CV8 Monaros. There’s also a VN SS Group A, HDT VC Commodore and HDT VL Calais LE Turbo, plus VL Walkinshaw and VK Blue Meanie tributes.
A full custom FJ ute with a supercharged V6 is being offered without reserve and has already attracted plenty of pre-bid interest, as have two genuine, hard-to-find Toranas - an LX A9X sedan and LH L34 SL/R5000, which is one only two in factory Sunburst Gold. For Torana hatchback owners, an original ‘Hatch Hutch’ tent is also available.
Other Holdens on offer include EJ, VE (SS Thunder), HZ (Sandman tribute), VF and VE SS-V utes, plus an EH sedan and wagon, HR panel van, mild custom FC Special sedan, HX Premier, VK and VL Commodore wagons, VN SS and VB Commodores, a VS GTS, WH Grange and VQ Statesman.
Other Australian-made cars in the September auction include a Ford BF Futura wagon, a very nice Ford XW GT tribute and sought after Chrysler Valiants in form of a VH Charger R/T, VF Pacer tribute, VC sedan with Regal features, and an S Series sedan. This auction also includes two very rare Aussie Chrysler utes – a 1954 Plymouth Cranbrook and 1957 Chrysler Wayfarer.
It’s not just Aussie cars up for grabs. There are plenty of American and Japanese cars available, too, including three nice Dodges in a 1965 Phoenix, 1951 Kingsway Custom and a 1963 Custom 880, plus a 1934 Plymouth rolling chassis project. There’s also a rare 1951 Studebaker sedan, 1986 Nissan 300ZX, 1965 and 1969 Mustang coupes, a 1978 Chevy C10 Cheyenne 454 pickup, 1981 C3 Corvette coupe, 1939 Ford Tudor hot rod, custom 1950 Mercury Flathead coupe, 1989 Ford Capri, and a couple of desirable Camaros in the form of a 1969 SS coupe and a 2010 ‘Transformers Edition’ coupe.
This auction also includes a 1969 Ford Thunderbird Landau that was loaded with factory options (power windows, power seats, sunroof, air con, 8-Track, etc.) and is believed to have been imported here and converted to RHD for use by senior executives at Ford Australia.
