Working Together with GRACE
RM Auctions places a high priority on its commitment to community service, and the recent Sports & Classics of Monterey auction, was no exception. RM partnered with Ken Thompson, founder of the Thompson Group at Classic Chevrolet, and Tom Durant, owner of Classic Chevrolet; to auction off a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, resulting in $120,000 in proceeds going to GRACE. GRACE is a non-profit relief agency that provides food, clothing and other support services to low-income families and individuals suffering from recent emergency. For more information about the important work of GRACE, please visit www.gracegrapevine.org.
Ask the Expert An ongoing series with the knowledgeable and experienced staff at RM
How do I go about getting my car into an auction? What steps are necessary to get my car considered for auction?
Jonathan Hooker, RM Car Specialist:
We ask interested clients to forward good photographs of the car clearly showing all angles, as well as the interior, engine bay and undercarriage (if possible). This will help us establish the condition of the car. Also include a written description of the car that includes the history, previous owners, restoration work (how long ago, by whom), awards, etc. - essentially any information that can assist in establishing the provenance of the car. If you intend to offer the automobile with a reserve (meaning, the bidding must reach that amount before it sells), we ask that you include the suggested reserve value with the information you provide us. Once we have all of this information, we can determine if the car is an appropriate entry to one of our auctions and can then assign it to a sale.
