This issue highlights ten exceptional collector cars which have crossed the auction block in recent weeks.
1968 AC Cobra 427 S/C MX1
After Shelby ceased producing Cobras, AC continued with the AC 428. The one being highlighted here is chassis MX1. It has an interesting history. According to a former owner, "To clarify some misconceptions, I am the original owner/builder. I purchased AC chassis MX1 in the summer of 1978 after hearing of its existence at the SAACII convention in Hershey, PA. It was a bare rolling chassis.
The aluminum body was purchased from Brian Angliss. The attaching superstructure was purchased from Mike McCluskey, a noted Cobra restorer. The components were assembled by an older Englishman in Sterling Heights Michigan. The side oiler 427 block was built by John Vermersch of Total Performance in Mt. Clemens, MI. I sold the vehicle in 1999 and that owner finished the build. The current owner is the third one. I can answer almost any question requarding MX1."
1983 Bentley Corniche Convertible
Reportedly, only three Corniches were built in 1983. This Bentley Corniche Convertible looks fantastic in Tudor Red with a Buckskin Everflex top. Power is from a 6.75 liter V8. The interior is sumptuous tan leather with plush carpet.
1957 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
Here's a classic Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck in Brewster Green, which was the recipient of a frame-off nut and bolt restoration. There are less than 1,300 miles on the restoration. With over $75k invested, the truck is flawless and consistently wins awards. This 3100 has the original 235.5 6-cylinder with a few minor modifications including an intake manifold by Offenhouser, Fenton headers, two single Rochester carburetors and Wayne valve cover and side. The transmission is a Saginaw 4-spd with 3.38:1 ring and pinion at the rear in the original housing. All gauges, electronics and other systems on the truck are fully-operational.

Reasons Why Online Car Auctions Are Better For Cheap Cars
It's not easy to find a reliable working car at a great price. Most used car dealerships will offer their vehicles at prices that make them quite a profit and this typically results in you paying more than the car itself is actually worth. An option that you may wish to turn to, however, which is not widely considered is that of online car auctions. There are plenty of different websites which are built to help individuals find great working vehicles at lower prices than dealerships may provide.
Finding a car using online vehicle auctions will require you to be discretionary, however. Since you will not be getting the chance to inspect the car in person, you will need to pay attention to important details about the car. The vehicle's specific VIN number can allow you to look up a report on the car which will report its entire history. This can help you determine how many times the car has been dealt with and should give you a better idea about the current condition of the car. The sad part about people selling a car online is that you may have no idea if they are telling the full truth about the vehicle. You will want to have as many tools on your side as possible to assist with a great result from online car auctions.
Automobile auctions whether in person or online will possibly allow you to tour their inventory free of charge. Some other websites will require you to pay this fee upon each bid placed. If the website has a huge selection of cars this charge may be worthwhile. A dream car may be waiting in the wind.
