• Low Mileage Rides Anchor First Carlisle Auctions Offering of 2020

• Bid and Buy as 10 Decades of Classic and Collector Cars Cross the Auction Block

CARLISLE, PA – The first quarter of 2020 is offering central Florida residents the chance to own some of the finest classic and collector cars in the world. The fun continues with Carlisle Auctions at the SUN 'n FUN Expo Campus in Lakeland as part of Winter AutoFest (February 21-23). The auction itself spans two days (February 21-22) and will see more than 400+ consignments cross the block, with some having a reserve. In addition, the thrilling event starts at 10:30 a.m. each of the two days. Reserve or not, when cars do sell, they will have done so to the highest bidder. This year's auction will see Carlisle Auctions move 10 decades of excellence in front of a jam-packed gallery of car lovers.

For Carlisle Auctions, starting its season in Florida has been a tradition since 2012. This year is no different and the level of consignments might just be the best ever to grace the grounds in Lakeland. Two of the top consignments have less than 2,000 miles on their respective odometers…total! Don't miss out as a 1978 Corvette, 2005 Ford GT and so much more take center stage.

This gem of a Corvette has just 213 ORIGINAL MILES and is code B2Z, also known as a Silver Anniversary Edition. Its automatic transmission powers a 350 c.i. L82 V8 engine and not only does it go (although with 212 miles, it didn't really go anywhere), it goes in comfort. There's an oyster leather interior, AM/FM radio and even a factory CB. This car has been meticulously taken care of, having been stored in a climate-controlled room and it's even been on display at the National Corvette Museum.

Another low mileage gem is a 2005 Ford GT with 1,531 miles. For sale in its factory red paint with black interior, the odometer shows just over 1,530 miles. The low mileage total combined with its all-original, unmodified body means it also comes with no damage or blemishes to the paint. Best of all, this GT was just one of five ordered in 2005 with the stripe delete option. Other great perks to further its value include original sales documentation, window sticker, owner history and even service history.

While those two and others crossing the block will come with a reserve, many others will be offered without a reserve. There's also a special theme in place for Saturday (February 22), as the 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. time slot is reserved for only Corvettes, including the above-mentioned '78. There will be Corvettes available during other times throughout the event too, but for Corvette die-hards, the Saturday time slot is a must-attend.

'We are looking forward to this being our most successful Winter AutoFest Lakeland Auction to date,' noted Director of Auction Operations, Tony Cline. 'We have been fortunate to consign the best group of vehicles that we have ever offered at the SUN 'n FUN venue.
