More than 125 classic and collector vehicles, along with 400 pieces of vintage automobilia, will cross the auction block at the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, next week. Richmond Auctions is calling it the inaugural Fall Spectacular, and the two-day sale runs Oct. 16-17, with each session starting at 10 a.m. Eastern.
The event marks a shift for the auction house, which according to a Richmond Auctions announcement built its reputation around high-end advertising memorabilia, automobilia and petroliana before expanding into collector cars. That expansion followed Richmond's 2025 Tony Townley Collection auction, which generated more than $25 million in sales and hit a 99.8% sell-through rate, per the same announcement. The Townley sale itself was held over two days in Bogart, Georgia, with sales topping $25 million, according to Street Muscle magazine. Richmond Auctions, founded by collectors Jordan Richmond and Mike McCandless, has now surpassed $100 million in gross auction sales in under four years, the announcement notes.
A Ridler Award Winner Headlines the Sale
The marquee vehicle is Dave Kindig's TwelveAir, winner of the 2024 Ridler Award, which is one of four Kindig-built vehicles offered in the sale. The build's timeline carries some discrepancy in the record: the Richmond Auctions announcement states it was built over four and a half years in a dedicated room inside the Kindig-it Design shop, while Hot Rod reports the Corvette took nearly five years to build.
Also crossing the block is a 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition, one of only 30 produced, according to the Richmond Auctions announcement. As WSB-TV reports, co-founder Mike McCandless has called it the rarest modern supercar Ford has ever produced, noting it is one of just 30 built.
A Barely-Driven Boss 429 With a Half-Century Backstory
Among the muscle cars up for sale is a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 owned by Dan Medis, who purchased the car on Aug. 5, 1975. Per autoevolution, the odometer displayed exactly 10,300 miles when Medis bought it, and over the next 51 years he added a mere 3,337 miles. The outlet reports the car retains its numbers-matching engine, transmission and third member, alongside its factory paint.
That kind of originality carries weight in the muscle car market. The autoevolution report notes that most restored Boss 429 examples regularly trade hands for sums between $300,000 and $600,000, with the highest reported public-auction sale reaching $950,000.
Automobilia and a Museum Built for Car Culture
Beyond the vehicles, the Fall Spectacular includes 400 pieces of vintage automobilia and advertising, spanning vintage advertising, petroliana and country-store memorabilia, per WSB-TV's reporting on the auction catalog. McCandless's private collection also contributed four Chrysler Letter Cars to Savoy's 2026 exhibition The Mighty 300, according to the Richmond Auctions announcement.
The Savoy Automobile Museum itself opened in December 2021 on an approximately 37-acre campus, the announcement states, giving the auction a purpose-built backdrop for collectors and curious locals alike. WSB-TV reports that McCandless has said the public may have the only chance to see some of these cars up close before they disappear back into private collections.
