Carlisle Auctions and Lakeland Florida have gone hand in hand for nearly 10 years and for two days, November 11-12, 2021, the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus once again came to life with the sights and sounds of classic and collector cars.  In addition to the cars, the people enjoyed the excitement of the Lakeland Fall Collector Car Auction.  In fact, more than 50% of the 400 or so lots sold, tallying just over $3 million in sales.  This final auction of the year caps a stellar season for Carlisle Auctions, who amassed around $19 million in total sales spanning four events and on average, sold about 65% of all lots.

Decades of classic and collector cars were represented in and around the auction arena for days leading up to the auction, with a preview day taking place on November 10.  Once the fun started, it went until sun down each day and included an all-truck hour on November 11 AND a special charity sale of a World War II era Jeep where proceeds benefitted the Rescue 22 Foundation.  Trucks are just as popular in Florida as they are in Pennsylvania and with the holiday season right around the corner, bidders were in the giving mood, helping net over $30,000 for the Jeep and Rescue 22.

Speaking of top sellers, the top 3, plus the Jeep sale for Rescue 22 tallied over $210,000.  The top 3 are as follows:

1. 1965 Ford Mustang Restomod - $64,900
2. 1972 Chevy Chevelle - $61,525
3. 1961 Cadillac Series 62 - $56,710

Along with this trio of top dollar cars, there are many that are STILL FOR SALE.  Still for sale lots span decades as well and with the help of the Carlisle Auctions expert team, are available to you post-sale.  Visit CarlisleAuctions.com to view auction results, still for sale vehicles, and call Carlisle Auctions at 717-960-6400 to make a deal.
