Scottsdale Rocks the Auto Auction Scene

Every January, auto enthusiasts are welcomed with a host of auto auctions in Scottsdale. This year proves to be no different with five world-renowned auto auctions scheduled for a single week in Scottsdale and the surrounding area. Because of the close proximity of the auctions, event-goers can easily attend more than one, thereby taking in the unique experience of each auction.

Whether you plan your year around these fabulous events or (like me) are just looking to get in on the action for a week, auto auctions are abundant in Scottsdale and start as early as January 18.

One of Seventeen 1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible 440/6 Offered at Russo and Steele’s 10th Anniversary Scottsdale Auction

Russo and Steele Collector Automobile Auctions, one of the nation’s premier collector car auctions, specializing in European sports cars, American muscle cars, hot rods and customs will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this January 20-24, 2010. It held its first auction event in January 2001 with only 45 automobiles; today it offers over 600 of the finest automobiles in Scottsdale over a five day span.

This 1971 Plymouth Cuda 2003 underwent a nut & bolt, rotisserie restoration to factory specs and retains all of its rare, correct parts. The original, matching numbers motor, transmission and Dana rear-end were professionally built to factory specs. Since its creation, this automobile has always been totally rust-free and, to this day, still has all of its original body panels, floor, trunk, doors and sheet metal. In fact, it still wears its original convertible top and rear glass!

This 1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible is one of only seventeen 440-6pak Cuda convertibles built in 1971 and the only one finished in Tawny gold. It is also the highest optioned Six Pack Cuda Convertible known to exist and one of only two that came from the factory with the highly desirable shaker hood and bill-board stripes! Aside from the history and provenance on this car, it is further distinguished by the preserved original paperwork that fully documents how this automobile was delivered from the factory. A part of this original documentation is the original build sheet, the original window sticker, original fender tags and the original invoice from the dealership that sold the car new! To further add value to this particular automobile, consider that it has gone through a complete bumper-to-bumper inspection by Mopar expert Galen Govier. Mr. Govier authenticated it as a complete, matching numbers, fully documented, ’71 Six Pack Cuda Convertible and a genuine 1 of a kind car! With its superior quality restoration and bullet proof documentation, this is truly one of the most significant Mopars ever produced and certainly one of the most coveted collector cars in the world!

The tenth anniversary celebration will be held at Russo and Steele’s traditional auction site located at the intersection of the North loop 101 freeway and North Scottsdale Road. In honor of this momentous occasion, Russo and Steele is inviting everyone out whether you are a bidder, consignor or fellow enthusiasts for what is going to be the biggest celebration in Scottsdale this January 20-24, 2010.
