#RussoAndSteele

The 997-generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS was originally purchased by actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

CSX 1001, one of only 12 genuine 1965 Shelby Cobra S/C 427s and the only one to sport an aluminum engine, will be going up for auction at Russo and Steele’s Scottsdale event in January.

After last year’s violent weather during the annual Scottsdale classic car auctions; Russo and Steele, which suffered the most extensive damage, is not taking any chances when it puts on its 11th annual event next January.

Ford and super car enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to purchase Steve Saleen’s personal Ford GT when it crosses the auction block at Russo and Steele’s event in Monterey, on Saturday August 14th at 9.30 pm. Although a production run of just over 4000 units mean that any Ford GT is a rare and desirable car, this particular example is even more so.

In 1969; Ford Motor Company and Bud Moore battled Roger Penske and Chevrolet in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans American Sedan championship for supremacy. Now, one of the survivors of that tremendous season is being put up for sale.

This past winter has been an interesting one. The effects of El Nino spared much of the Midwest and parts of the North Eastern United States and Canada, while down south cold temperatures and fierce storms wreaked havoc. At the prominent Arizona classic car auctions in January, high winds and rain did their best to put a damper on things. At Russo Steele, on January, 21st, two huge tents, holding several hundred collectible and special interest vehicles, collapsed, causing one of them to blow across a nearby freeway and the other to land on and damage a number of classic vehicles.
