Rare Muscle Cars Up for Auction
We hope you don't get tired of us talking about muscle car auctions, but that's what you, our readers, have told us you like.
On Dec. 10, an estate auction is being held in Newington, New Hampshire, and run by Paul McNinnis Inc. There is something for everyone, including Harleys with very few miles on them, a couple of Superbirds, yes, a couple, and one of the rarest GTOs, if not the rarest ever built—a 1971 Judge convertible. Pontiac records show only 17 of these made that year. Most people have never seen one, let alone have an opportunity to buy one.
If that isn't enough, there is an Orbit Orange 1970 Judge convertible and a 1965 GTO convertible up for sale. There also are three extremely low-mileage Corvettes on the block: A 1988 35th anniversary job with 660 miles, a 1993 40th anniversary model with 2,585 miles and lastly a mighty 1991 ZR-1 with only 2,280 miles.
For you Mopar guys, the Superbirds are Hemi Orange and Sublime Green. The orange car features a Six-Pack-equipped 440 engine and the green one is a single four-barrel 440. Now that's our idea of Christmas shopping. Happy bidding.
