January Auction Thread (2025 Edition)
#1
With the last major 2024 U.S. collector car auctions behind us this week, it is time to look ahead to the January auctions.

Each year the January auctions are quite important in setting the market tone for the year. Still, these specific auctions will be important as they will mark the first set of collector car auctions following the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

For 2025 the January auctions will kick off on January 7th with Mecum’s massive Kissimmee sale and end with Barrett-Jackson’s well-known Scottsdale auction which concludes on January 26th.

The only other major auction companies participating in the January Auctions this year are RM & Bonhams, both hosting in the Scottsdale, Arizona area.

Gooding & Co. and Worldwide Auctioneers have opted out of the Scottsdale auctions and Broad Arrow has set their sights on Amelia Island along with Gooding.

Mecum’s Kissimmee sale is headlined by the 1969 Porsche 917K Chassis No. 917-022 which was the Steve McQueen hero car from “Le Mans”. Other highlights include the 1970 Lamborghini Muria P400 S Chassis 3685, the 1966 Ford GT40 MkI Road Car Chassis P/1034, the Le Mans class winning 1976 Porsche 934 chassis 0060022, the Indy 500 winning 1959 Kurtis-Epperly Offenhauser Indy Car Chassis KK500-J119, and the 1965 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra Roadster “Essex Wire” Chassis CSX3009. Ferrari offerings are so far scarce with just Mecum’s 1951 212 Chassis 0185EL & a 1978 512 BB Chassis F102BB24975 being listed.

Barrett-Jackson’s docket has yet to be announced, however, they have said that the auction will feature cars from the David M. Ressler Collection, part of which they sold at their “Scottsdale Fall” auction.

RM’s Arizona auction is highlighted by the 1939 Bugatti Type 57 C Atalante by Gangloff Chassis 57828 which is being offered by the Petersen Automotive Museum and the 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Chassis 198.040.6500100.

Bonhams has yet to announce any vehicles for their Scottsdale auction.

I’ve been thinking about the January auction for a while. If you want to score a good deal, it’s all about doing a little homework. Sometimes, the best bargains come from cars that need work, so don't be afraid to get your hands dirty if you're up for a project. I’ve learned over the years to check sites like https://cardealerking.com/ , where you can get an idea of market prices and maybe spot a few gems before the auction even starts. But honestly, the auction vibe can be super fun! Stay patient, know your limit, and trust your gut when bidding.
