Wrap Up Automotive Auction Season with Carlisle Auctions in Lakeland, Florida Nov. 10-11

The Carlisle Auctions team, based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, has successfully executed three amazing classic and collector car auctions in 2023. To date, more than 1,200 cars have been offered, with over $14 million in total sales.  With one to go, the Carlisle Auctions team invites car lovers from around the southeast and all across Florida to join them in Lakeland, Florida in November.  The Lakeland Fall Collector Car Auction ushers in 300+ lots spanning all eras of automotive production for the two-day event, November 10-11 at the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus and it’s super easy to not only see the action but to be part of it too.

Each day starting at 10:30 AM, one piece of automotive history after another parades across the auction block and just like the “as seen on TV auction events,” the energy in the room is palpable.  There’s a certain buzz that befalls the gallery when a crew of world champion auctioneers fires up their unmistakable cadence, combined with a floor of “ring men” working the crowd to help draw top dollar for what can only best be described as rolling pieces of art.  From antiques to muscle cars, cool custom vans to trucks, and pretty much everything in between the Lakeland Fall Collector Car Auction has it all.

Speaking of trucks, Carlisle Auctions is proud to announce the return of its popular all-Truck Hour (ATH) on Friday, November 10Beginning at approximately 12:30 PM on the 10th, nothing but some of the finest trucks central Florida has ever seen will cross the block for one full hour.  This is a new time slot, but offers the same great level of excitement.  As part of the ATH, not only do trucks sell at top-dollar, but so will Jeeps, and SUVs too.  A convertible or some Detroit muscle may look great on Florida’s highways, but nothing tackles a trail or country road like a truck, and the ATH is THE time to find a great deal on an amazing investment.

Trucks won’t be the only stars of the event, as a pair of Super Cars are confirmed consignments.  These lots come to the Lakeland Fall and should no doubt garner top dollar, while making a great collection piece for the winning bid.  The 2015 Superlite SLC is a kit car that was manufactured by Race Car Replicas and Jerry Jackson between December 2013 and May 2015.  Over 2,600 hours of hard work went into crafting this gem, including the inclusion of an aluminum space frame chassis with fiber glass/carbon fiber body, Chevrolet LS7 C8 all-aluminum dry sump engine, 505 BHP/7.0 liter - 427 cubic inch, and Grazziano trans-axle (Lambo Aventador/Audi R8).

In addition, the auction welcomes a 2010 Ultima GTR.  This one is again a kit, but was built by Hinkley Leicester in the UK by Ultima Sports LTD.  It too has a fiber glass body and is powered by a 490 BHP 6.2 liter, 377 cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 racing engine.

While bidding and buying are quite simple with a wealth if information available at the all-new CarlisleAuctions.com, so is attending as a spectator.  Spectator admission is just $10 (payable at the door) and offers FREE parking too.  Once through the door, everyone can enjoy a bevy of investments that truly accelerate.  Carlisle Auctions offers THREE great ways to bid on desired lots; in person, on the phone, or online!  Best of all, once registered as a bidder, online bidding can commence within one week of the start of the auction AND you can bring a guest with you, too.
