Among featured private collections to be offered in Harrisburg is The American Muscle Car Collection of 28 lots, which includes a broad selection depicting the collection’s namesake, plus outliers like a 1980 Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser (Lot T142) that has just 131 miles on the odometer and is powered by a 4.2L inline 6-cylinder engine with a 4-speed manual transmission and a restored German-built, 21-window 1965 Volkswagen Type II Samba (Lot F200) with a 1600cc/40 HP 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission.

From the still-growing offering of The Klairmont Kollection of Chicago will be at least a dozen consignments to be offered at no reserve, including a 1906 Tourist Model K Touring (Lot F196) that was previously part of the Frankel collection and received a ground-up restoration that was completed in 2012.
