Hemmings to offer online auctions, starting with Mustang versus Camaro

There was a time, not too terribly long ago, when the only way to bid on a special interest auto online was to hold your breath and dive into the deep end of one or two major auction sites and hope you got what you think you paid for.

The classic car auction world has changed more in the last few years than in the previous 50 and we’ve finally found a way to put the green Hemmings stamp of approval on what we think is the best online version of it for both buyer and seller: the HemmingsPRO auction.

HemmingsPRO auctions offer everything you love about the convenience of online bidding, but with the safety, familiarity and due-diligence of your neighborhood auction house. We’ve partnered with Speed Digital to help make our auctions run smoothly, and we’re looking for your feedback as we continue in this new venture.

We’re kicking off our first auction with two all-time favorites: Camaros and Mustangs. What better way to launch this than with the classic rivalry that defined the Muscle Car era? We’ve assembled this collection with help from trusted classic car dealers you’ve seen in the pages of Hemmings Motor News for years. And there’s something for everyone: From carefully restored cars to modified muscle cars ready for street and strip, from first-gen Mustangs to late-model Camaros, we’ve worked with Speed Digital to curate this auction with a wide spectrum of vehicles to fit all our readers’ wants and desires. And rest-assured, every bid you make and auction you win is backed by a rock-solid vetting and fulfillment process.

Bidding in the first HemmingsPRO auction will close beginning at 8 p.m. EST this Friday, May 26. So take a look around, pick up your virtual paddle, and have fun. This is another great way to get the most out of the classic car hobby. Welcome to the HemmingsPRO auction!
