Grosse Pointe, Michigan (October 15, 2024) – Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, hosted a successful inaugural Chattanooga Auction October 12, with sales totaling *$ 12,265,520 and **82 percent of all lots sold. Held in partnership with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, the preview and auction at the Chattanooga Convention Center were very well attended and drew bidders from 10 countries and 33 states across the U.S. More than 50 percent of bidders represented first-time Broad Arrow clientele.
Top sellers at the Chattanooga Auction were led by the exceedingly rare “missing link” in the Carrera RS lineup, a 1984 Porsche 911 SC RS Gruppe B “Evolutionsserie” at $ 2,000,000. Though the SC RS did not meet its reserve during the auction, it was sold immediately following the sale. Additional top ten highlights include five other variations of the Porsche 911 model, notably the one-of-one 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S “Factory One-Off” Cabriolet, which brought a final $ 401,000.
Beyond the top sellers, there were several stand-out moments during the Chattanooga Auction, including the sale of two charming single-owner private collections, The Stingray Survivor Collection and The Small Speed Collection. All five highly original C3-generation Corvettes offered from The Stingray Survivor Collection were hotly contested by multiple bidders in the room and on the phone, eliciting extended bidding sessions and all finding new homes at strong prices. The group was led by the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435 Stingray Convertible, which sold for a final $ 112,000 (Estimate: $ 90,000 – $ 110,000). The Small Speed Collection, featuring six cars of small size yet significant racing heritage, also brought strong prices on Saturday afternoon, with back-and-forth bidding on all lots, including the 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce at a final price of $ 81,200 (Estimate: $ 60,000 – $ 70,000).
