CARLISLE, PA – Car season is approaching fast and Carlisle Events is ready to roar back to life as Spring Carlisle returns to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds April 22–26, with its partner event, the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction, taking center stage April 23–24 at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center. Together, the events offer enthusiasts the opportunity to buy, sell, and celebrate decades of automotive excellence — from pre-war classics to modern muscle and everything in between.

Powered by Carlisle Auctions FREE UNLESS SOLD guarantee, 400+ consignments are anticipated for the two-day auction, showcasing vehicles that span generations and price points. Whether you’re seeking a meticulously restored showpiece, a weekend cruiser, or your next investment focused collectible, the Spring auction provides an accessible and exciting option for all that and then some! 

One returning highlight is the All-Truck Hour, scheduled for approximately 3:30 PM on Thursday, April 23. This specialty hour celebrates trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs of all eras and returns by popular demand to the auction schedule.  From vintage pickups to lifted late-model haulers, the All-Truck Hour brings a focused energy to the block and offers buyers a dedicated window to secure their next four-wheeled workhorse or show-ready rig.

Beyond the vehicles themselves, the 2026 Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction proudly shines a spotlight on charitable initiatives that reflect the heart of the automotive community.

SUN Technical Institute of New Berlin, Pennsylvania, returns to the auction in a unique and hands-on way. Students have custom-built wheelbarrow go-karts that will cross the block, with 100% of the sale benefiting their educational programs. In addition, SUN Tech students have prepared and refurbished a 1951 Dodge for auction. That Dodge, originally donated by the AACA Museum, Inc. – America’s Transportation Museum, will see 100% of its sale dollars benefit Carlisle Auctions’ Fund the Firehouse program and the New Berlin Fire Company.

Speaking of Fund the Firehouse, Carlisle Auctions announced that the Ickesburg Fire Company in neighboring Perry County has received the donation of a 2008 GMC Envoy. When it crosses the auction block in April, 100% of its sale proceeds will directly benefit them. These charity consignments represent more than just vehicles — they represent opportunity, education, and community support.

The Spring 2026 Collector Car Auction begins at 10 AM daily, with preview hours starting at 8 AM on April 22 and continuing through the conclusion of the event. Advanced and online bidding opens April 20, and every registered bidder is eligible to bring a guest to the auction and attend Spring Carlisle as well.  Finally, there are THREE great ways to bid; in person, on the phone, or online. 

Spectator admission is $13 at the door, discounted if purchased online.  Consignments are being added daily, and complete details are available at CarlisleAuctions.com. For auction information or to consign, call 717-960-6400.  Get involved today and don’t miss your chance to own your first — or next — classic with Carlisle Auctions this April.

The post Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction returns April 23–24 to the Carlisle PA Expo Center appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

Carlisle, PA – For two amazing days in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, buyers and sellers alike converged for the annual Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction. Held October 2-3 at the Carlisle Expo Center, the event was the last of three on the 2025 Carlisle Auctions schedule and, as the season finale, turned out to be the best-performing auction of the year.

With nearly 450 consignments crossing the block, options ranged from as early as 1906 to modern day and included muscle cars, daily drivers, memorabilia, charity consignments, and more. Backed by award-winning auctioneers Michael Adcock and Jeffrey Knosp, there was never a dull moment in the room, especially during the two charity windows, the all-new All-Import Hour, and when the top-selling car crossed the block.

Let’s start with helping those in need. There were two great causes that stood front and center: Fund the Firehouse and Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue. The Fund the Firehouse program netted $10,100.  A 2002 Lexus sold for $5,500 and benefited Enola (PA) Fire Company #3, while the remainder of the dollars came by way of memorabilia and will support Landisburg (PA) Volunteer Fire Company and Carlisle (PA) Fire & Rescue.  Further, Harley’s Haven will be given $16,750 by way of a 1952 GMC 1-Ton Pickup.

While those charity consignments crossed the block on Friday, October 3, just 24 hours earlier, Carlisle Auctions rolled out its new themed hour laced with nothing but imports. Performing extremely well for the gallery of bidders, the hour offered many beautiful examples from “across the pond,” including the block’s top seller, a 1965 Porsche 356 that sold for $66,000.

Finally, while that Porsche may not have made the top four overall sellers, a diverse mix of cars did, including:

1. #505.1 — 1958 Chevrolet Corvette — $145,800
2. #212.1 — 1963 Chevrolet Corvette — $127,500
3. #132 — 1958 Chevrolet Impala — $98,280
4. #496.1 — 1969 Camaro — $87,480
   All prices include applicable fees

“We are pleased to end the season on such a high note,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations. “The 2025 Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction featured a variety of beautiful consignments and registered over $5.5 million in total sales,” continued Cline. “We would like to give a huge thank you to our consignors and bidders who make this all possible, as well as our team who work tirelessly to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thanks for a great 2025, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the spring!”

Speaking of spring, the next Carlisle Auctions offering is planned as part of Spring Carlisle driven by Hemmings.com. The spring event is April 22-26 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, with the auction taking place April 23-24 at the Carlisle Expo Center. Call 717-960-6400 today to learn more or to consign for Spring 2026!

The post 400+ Classics to go under the hammer at Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction Oct. 2-3 appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

Crossing the block during the auction will be a 1952 GMC 1-Ton Pickup, with 100% of the hammer price going directly to Harley’s Haven. This nonprofit initiative helps connect veterans with rescue dogs in need of forever homes, while covering adoption fees and providing vital resources to ensure a successful match. It’s anticipated that this ’52 GMC will be the first consignment to cross the block on Friday, October 3 at approximately 10:30 AM. 

Founded in honor of his father and grandfather—both military veterans with a passion for dogs—Jon Beagle, along with co-founder Laura Montai, created Pups for Vets as a way to serve veterans while giving dogs a second chance. Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in the Philadelphia region, provides the pups and fosters until they’re matched with their new families.

“This cause is deeply personal to me,” said Beagle. “My father served in Vietnam and my grandfather in World War II. They were my heroes, and their love of dogs was my inspiration. With support from Carlisle Auctions and the sale of this incredible GMC, we can continue changing lives—for both veterans and the dogs they adopt.”

Carlisle Auctions is waving all buyer and seller fees for this consignment, ensuring that every dollar raised from the sale of the truck goes directly to Harley’s Haven and Pups for Vets.

“Charity consignments like this showcase the true heart of the collector car hobby,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations at Carlisle Auctions.  “We are happy to be working with Jon again to help a wonderful cause.  Every bid makes a difference.”

The post Carlisle Auctions and Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue to collaborate at the Fall Carlisle Auction appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

CARLISLE, PA – At the 2025 Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction Carlisle Auctions sold 50% of all available lots, tallying over $5 million in sales (including fees). Along the way, over $31,000 was raised for charity, and a 1963 Corvette became one of the top-three all-time sales for Carlisle Auctions.

For two days (April 24–25, 2025) 400+ lots were confirmed, including enough trucks to fill two themed hours (one each day). In addition, over 100 years of automotive history was on full display — starting with a pair of cars from 1916 and ending with a minibike from 2025. In between, there was literally something for everyone, and just about everyone at the event was able to find what they needed.

Beyond all the action on the block, the auction benefitted charity too. 2025 saw the debut of Fund the Firehouse, along with the Pedal Car Project. Each served two distinct purposes. For Fund the Firehouse, half a dozen donations came in from the Carlisle community, with 100% of the money raised going directly back to Carlisle Fire & Rescue to support their operational costs, including training and equipment. Following their consignments, and combined with donations from auction attendees, $17,500 was raised.

For the Pedal Car Project, SUN Area Technical Institute from New Berlin, PA saw their students’ hard work pay off, netting $13,900 for their automotive technology curriculum. The dollars came by way of pedal cars built, customized, and designed by student groups at the school. Not only did their builds fetch top dollar, but the students also experienced a VIP journey that spanned nearly seven months — from having their builds featured on YouTube, to being displayed at the AACA Museum, Inc. in Hershey, PA, and finally showcased and sold at the auction in Carlisle.

Carlisle Auctions hopes to continue its partnership with SUN Tech, while also working to grow, enhance, and expand the Fund the Firehouse program to include more donations, more first responder organizations, and more auction time dedicated to generating dollars for those who answer the call during times of need.

The top five (5) selling cars totaled nearly $600,180 with Thursday’s top seller being the ’65 Corvette and Friday’s highlight being the ’63 Corvette — now one of the top three all-time sellers for Carlisle Auctions. The top five (5) are as follows:

Top Five Sales:

1. 1963 Corvette – $257,500

2. 1969 Dodge Charger – $89,960

3. 1969 Camaro – $88,560

4. 1965 Corvette – $87,480

5. 1968 Ford Mustang GT – $76,680

“The 2025 Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction was a great way to start our PA-based auction schedule,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations. “The new start time of 10 AM was a real winner for all involved and it’s something we plan to continue moving forward,” added Cline. “Our team looks forward to our upcoming Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction, Thursday and Friday, October 2–3 at the Carlisle PA Expo Center. Call us at 717-960-6400 or visit CarlisleAuctions.com to learn more.”

The post The Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction tops $5 million in sales appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

Let’s start with the 1960 Corvette. 10,261 C1’s were built for the ’60 model year and this car carries VIN sequence #0002. That’s right, it’s the second 1960 to roll off the assembly line. Beyond that, it’s considered a pilot car and includes GM’s experimental aluminum heads with Rochester Fuel Injection as well as a 283 V8 with lightweight heads, which were never commercially produced for Corvette. This Corvette was born in St. Louis in September of 1959 and after component testing, GM sold it to Rochester Products Engineer Bill Anderson. Fast forward to 1970 and a 16-year-old kid named Dana Kuhl picked up for $900 as a birthday present. From there, it changed ownership a few times, but along the way, has retained many of its original elements, including the original frame with chassis number present.

If that gem isn’t enough, how about an original numbers matching 1963 Split Window Corvette Stingray? One of only 10,594 C2’s built for delivery in 1963, it’s powered by a 327 cubic inch RF Code Fuel Injected C8, plus it’s been verified that all major engine accessories are also original. This car has been with its current owner for 37 years and includes a copy of the original window sticker, plus a resume of prestigious awards, including a pair of first-place honors at Corvettes at Carlisle (1987 and 1990), NCRS Top-Flight award (1990 and 1991), and was Silver Certified in 2024 by the National Corvette Certification Board.

Beyond those Corvettes, there are a few more stars of the show. Carlisle Auctions has confirmed an eye catching, fully restored 1969 Camaro RS/SS and a 2023 Dodge Challenge Hellcat Convertible. The Camaro has a variety of new elements, including its sheet metal, tinted glass, and more. This helps give this Hugger Orange muscle car a sophisticated look on any Showfield, or while driving around town. As the Hellcat Convertible goes, this is a widebody jailbreak, with a Plum Crazy Purple exterior. As one of only 530 convertibles sanctioned through Dodge by Droptop Customs in Florida, its new owner can feel right at home in the Laguna Leather seats, while muscling around town showing off the sounds of a 6.5 liter/717 horsepower V8 engine.

In addition to these showcase vehicles, Carlisle Auctions has expanded its popular all-Truck Hour. What was one hour on one day of the auction is now two days and one hour each. That means double the truck-themed fun with an anticipated launch time of 3 PM each day. Speaking of time, Carlisle Auctions is so excited to kick-off its season, that the auction now starts at 10 AM each day. This is two hours earlier than previous years, giving Carlisle guests who jump between Spring Carlisle and the auction more time to enjoy both events, while helping keep die-hard bidders in place throughout the duration of the auction.

and every registered bidder is eligible to not only bring a guest to the auction but to attend Spring Carlisle as well. Preview hours for the auction start at 8 AM April 23 and continue through the conclusion of the auction. Complete details are available at CarlisleAuctions.com. Consignments are being added daily to the Carlisle Auctions web page. Spectator admission is $13 at the door, cheaper if purchased online, and offers admission to both Spring Carlisle and the Spring auction. For auction details, call 717-960-6400.

The post Muscle, elegance and more at the 2025 Spring Carlisle Auction appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

CARLISLE, PA – One of the best parts of a Carlisle Auctions event is that, at least once per offering, a sale takes place to benefit charity. For those attending the Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction, Saturday, February 8, will once again highlight the generosity of the collector car community.

The auction spans two days, February 7-8, at the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus in Lakeland, but the charity portion of the event takes place just after 10:30 AM on the 8th. At that time, Carlisle Auctions will yield the floor to Steve Muschlitz and Wheels from the Heart. Steve has secured a quartet of lots that will run consecutively, with 100% of the sales and any additional donations benefiting Wheels from the Heart. These lots include a pair of 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500s, a 1946 Ford Sedan, and a 2007 Cadillac DTS.

Wheels from the Heart is a Delray Beach, Florida-based organization with a mission to provide reliable vehicles to single mothers with children, helping them drive toward a better life. While the name is a play on words, the impact is real. Owning a dependable car improves nearly every aspect of life, from grocery shopping and commuting to work to attending social activities, school drop-offs, and more. Since being nominated in 2016 for the Men with Caring Hearts Award, Steve and his team have donated nearly 200 cars in the past 10 years to moms in need.

“I’m excited to once again work with Carlisle Auctions at their upcoming event in Lakeland,” said Muschlitz. “They put on a great event, and their bidder and buyer base has always been generous when we offer a lot for charity. Of course, these sales wouldn’t be possible without the gracious donations from their previous owners. Together, we can all change the lives of those in need.”

Images and details of each charity consignment are available at CarlisleAuctions.com. Each car will be sold at no reserve, meaning they will sell. Better yet, they’ll be available for preview by hopeful bidders starting Friday, February 7, near the main auction arena. Muschlitz will also be at the venue to further promote the mission of Wheels from the Heart. Donations will be accepted throughout the auction.

Learn more about these consignments, along with the many other vehicles spanning automotive history, that are coming to Lakeland. Carlisle Auctions offers three great ways to bid: in person, by phone, or online. Complete event details are available online or by calling Carlisle Auctions at 717-960-6400.

The post Charity sales to anchor Saturday morning time slot at Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

CARLISLE, PA – After more than a one-year hiatus from the automotive scene in Central Florida, Carlisle Auctions is announced its return to Lakeland and the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus in 2025. Based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the Carlisle Auctions team brings its brand of classic and collector car excitement back to Polk County on February 7-8, with two days of fast-paced auction fun and over 400 planned consignments.

The auction starts at 10:30 AM each day and features about 200 consignments per day, including past, present, and future collector cars. There’s a heavy emphasis on muscle cars, but the event also includes exotics, imports, motorcycles, street rods, rat rods, and trucks. In fact, on February 7 at approximately 1:30 PM, Carlisle Auctions will reintroduce its popular All-Truck Hour to the Lakeland gallery of buyers and sellers. For a full 60 minutes, nothing but trucks (or truck-like vehicles) will cross the block. This may also include vans and SUVs.

ALL NEW for February 2025, Carlisle Auctions is adding an All-Jeep Hour. The Jeep showcase is planned for Saturday, February 8 at 12 PM. This is a great compliment to not only the auction but to Jeep culture where there’s no shortage of Jeep-themed events. Consigning to sell or registering to bid for the All-Truck or All-Jeep hours follow standard auction procedures.

Beyond the thrill of the auction, Carlisle Auctions is partnering with Steve Muschlitz and Wheels from the Heart to sell a vehicle for a charitable cause. Wheels from the Heart is a Jensen Beach, Florida-based organization whose mission is to give the gift of a reliable vehicle to single moms with children, helping them drive to a better life. Owning a dependable means of transportation makes nearly every aspect of life better, including getting groceries, commuting to work, participating in social activities, and managing school drop-offs and pickups.

Since being nominated in 2016 for the Men with Caring Hearts Award, Steve and his team have donated hundreds of cars to moms in need. The specific vehicles to be auctioned are yet to be determined, but once identified, 100% of the proceeds raised during their auction time will be donated to Wheels from the Heart.

Bring the family to enjoy the auction and everything the facility has to offer. The SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus is not only an active airport, with a variety of planes coming and going throughout the auction, but it also features planes on display, ample on-ground camping options, and a museum perfect for all ages.

Carlisle Auctions is actively registering bidders for the February auction and is also accepting quality consignments. Additionally, Carlisle Auctions offers three great ways to bid: in person, over the phone, or online. Not buying or selling but still looking for some auction excitement? Spectator admission is just $10, with ample free parking available near the heart of the action.

Carlisle, PA – 2024 has been an amazing year in Carlisle.

The Fall Auction, held October 3-4 at the Carlisle Expo Center, wrapped up auction season with a bang, selling 50% of all available lots and grossing $3.3 million in sales.

Best of all, the demand for all things truck during the All-Truck Hour has resulted in the expansion of the theme for Carlisle-based auctions in 2025. Now, each day of an auction will include an hour dedicated to nothing but trucks.

“Thank you to all of the consignors and bidders for making this auction at Fall Carlisle successful,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations. “We continue to move forward in both quality and quantity and look forward to carrying this momentum into 2025, including our return to Lakeland, Florida, for the Lakeland Winter Collector Car Auction, February 7-8, at the SUN ‘n FUN Expo Campus.”

Carlisle, PA – Fall Carlisle was the event that started it all for the Miller families, and since 1974, has also been the event that’s concluded the automotive events schedule at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. From October 2-6, 2024, nearly 100,000 guests will converge to buy, sell, and trade all things automotive. In addition, less than two blocks east of the fairgrounds at the Carlisle Expo Center, Carlisle Auctions will host its two-day classic and collector car auction from October 3-4. All of this serves as the backdrop to the historic conclusion of the Carlisle Events 50th Anniversary season.

Combining a car auction and automotive flea market event is what makes an event like Fall Carlisle so much for buyers and sellers alike. There are 8,100 vending spaces packed with thousands of vendors and millions of auto parts for sale, over 650 cars for sale within the car corral, unique finds, deals at every turn, and a sense of community that can only best be enjoyed at the event. Further, when you take those 650 classic and daily driver-type cars for sale by owner in the car corral and factor in the 400+ planned consignments at the auction, that means well over 1,000 rides spanning all eras of production have the chance to find new homes before the conclusion of the event.

Gates open for Fall Carlisle at 7 AM each day, while the auction starts at 12 PM during its two-day run. Spectator admission is $13 at the door, cheaper if purchased online, and is good for both events. Conversely, anyone who registers to bid at the auction, or consigns to sell also gets reciprocating admission; plus the ability to bring a friend. In short, there are a variety of top-notch ways to be part of the fall event.

If it’s not at Carlisle, it’s possible it does not exist. The thrill of the hunt is strong with this event and the passion of each shopper is on full display. Those same passions come to life during the auction, as the fast-paced nature of a live auction is enough to make anyone say “Here, take my money.” The auction has such a mix of vehicles, that it’s very easy to find a white-glove, best-of-show vehicle for a great price point as it is to find a classic that can serve as a daily driver. These are investments that truly accelerate. Powered by the FREE UNLESS SOLD guarantee and the popular All Truck Hour on October 3, there’s a little something new and fresh for everyone.

Speaking of something new and fresh, just announced for Fall Carlisle 2024, the Carlisle Corner located in Building T. Throughout the year, Carlisle Events has been celebrating its 50th Anniversary season, complete with special signage, apparel, and a timeline wall in Building T. As this milestone season concludes, the timeline will remain, but the celebration will be enhanced with at least two collector cars on display by way of Carlisle Events co-owners Bill Miller, Jr. and Lance Miller, even more artifacts and collectibles from Carlisle’s past on display, and a table set up to sell overstock Carlisle branded merchandise.
