Rare Car Auction - America's Car Collection
Ralph Whitworth put together the best collection yet of historic race cars, show cars, hot rods, customs, bikes, trikes, and memorabilia, then sold it all at auctionFive years ago, when the word Winnemucca started showing up in hot rodders' vocabularies, Ralph Whitworth had already achieved his first objective: putting his remote hometown on the map as a tourist destination instead of a faceless fuel stop in desolate northern Nevada. Virtually no one had ever heard of this mystery man, yet everyone was talking about "the guy building a museum in Winnemucca," whose agents were on an unprecedented shopping spree of significant rods, customs, muscle cars, dry lakes racers, show vehicles, and drag cars. In just four years, more than 200 valuable vehicles changed hands, several at prices approaching or exceeding seven figures.inline_mediumwraptextrightThe huge tent erected on the Petersen Museum's upper parking lot was packed with potential bidders, curious spectators, and the most amazing collection of historic cars ever seen in one place. An $80 ticket bought two admissions plus a slick, 280-page, limited-edition Icons of Speed and Style program that's already a valuable collectible. John Mazmanian's famous '61 Corvette earned $247,500 for the seller (plus $24,750 for RM Auctions).31700484/eventcoverage/hrdp_1002_rare_car_auctionhrdp_1002_01+americas_ca r_collection+auction.jpgTrue
