AUTO AUCTION PRIMER

January in Arizona brings, not only chamber of commerce weather, but car auction season. What makes certain muscle cars from the 1960s and ’70s so valuable? In his book Million Dollar Muscle Cars, author and collector Colin Comer tackles that issue, and includes a buyer’s guide for those whose bank account balances don’t look like phone numbers. Comer gets the story behind some high-end transactions, from both the sellers and the buyers, and goes under the hood of the high-powered auction and collection industry.

Million Dollar Muscle Cars is available through booksellers everywhere for about $34.95 or through motorbooks.com, a comprehensive source for books on all things automotive, at a discounted price of $24.47.
