Sunset – Carlisle spotlights nearly 100 years of automotive history

Sarasota, FL – As October quickly speeds forward, Carlisle Auctions and the team at the Sunset Automotive Group are rapidly planning a NEW two-day classic and collector car auction hosted at the 6061 Sawyer Loop, Rd. facility in Sarasota, Florida. Over 400 consignments are planned to cross the block in Florida.

Carlisle Auctions will offer up 400+ classics with some of them crossing the block at no reserve, while others are high-end restorations. Low mileage, single owner cars will be part of the lots as well. Highlights of note include a 1949 Chevrolet Suburban restomod, a rare color combo 1957 Corvette, a single family owned 1967 Mercury Cougar Dan Gurney, a single owner 1970 Ford F250, a 1972 Buick GS Stage 1 and a 2010 Aston Martin Rapide with under 10,000 miles on it.

A partnership with Corsa 7 Motorsports from Sarasota will bring a pair of high-end exotics to be on display. Anyone hoping to see first-hand a race prepared 2014 Lamborghini Super Trofeo EVO as well as a Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003CS; one of just 5 in existence, can do so with their admission to the auction. Each car carries an impressive performance pedigree, having won races domestically as well as internationally.
