SEVEN82MOTORS’ Anniversary Auction is LIVE

Following their huge June auction, held in conjunction with Cooly Rocks On, SEVEN82MOTORS has announced their August online auction. This one is huge, too, as it marks 20 years in business for SEVEN82MOTORS. From humble beginnings back in 2007, trading in quality classic and muscle cars, SEVEN82MOTORS switched to car auctions in 2021 and hasn’t looked back. They’re now regarded as the premier Australian auction house for premium show cars, restomods and custom builds of all types, as well as restored muscle cars, classics and hot rods. You’ll find all these kinds of vehicles in this very special ‘Anniversary Auction’.

The Anniversary Auction opens for online bidding from 3:00PM AEST on Friday, 31 July and runs through to Sunday, 9 August, with the close of bidding livestreamed at the ‘Sunday Session’ from 2:00PM AEST (close of bidding from 3:00PM).

Check out some of the highlight vehicles for the August auction below, or click HERE to see the full slate of consignments.

Australian

The impressive lineup of Aussie cars in this auction starts with a 1977 Ford XC Fairmont hardtop that was converted to a T-top roof in the 1980s and may be the only Ford of its type in the country. Other Aussie Fords include an XE Fairmont Ghia ESP, a pair of restored and customised XY Falcon utes, a trio of XW GS Fairmonts, and an immaculate P5 LTD sedan. There’s also the amazing ‘BOSS XY’ Falcon restomod that’s rocking a supercharged 5.4lt V8 and rolling on 22s. With a full custom interior, BOSS XY was a Top 20 car at Summernats 38 and has featured in Street Machine magazine.

The August auction is packed with desirable Holdens, too, including HDT and HSV VL Group A SS Commodores, an early (build #4) HDT VC Commodore, an HSV VS GTS-R tribute, HSV VL Walkinshaw and HDT VK Blue Meanie replicas, plus genuine HSV sedans – E-Series GTS and GenF3 GTSR – and an HSV V2 GTO coupe. Other Holdens include a genuine XX7 HJ Sandman panel van, custom HR Special sedan, LX Torana SL/R 5000, restored and customised LH Torana sedan, a wild custom LH Torana G-Pak, one-off VK ‘Black Meanie’ custom Commodore and a supercharged HQ Premier street machine.
