Carlisle Auctions ends its 2025 season strong as Fall Carlisle records $5.5 million in sales, top consignments, and major charity wins.
The collector car world turned its attention to Pennsylvania at the start of this October as Carlisle Auctions wrapped up its 2025 season with a record-setting Fall Carlisle Collector Car Auction. Held over the weekend at the Carlisle Expo Center, the event welcomed enthusiasts, collectors, and sellers for two days of intense bidding and fuel-driven energy. With more than 450 consignments crossing the block, spanning everything from a 1906 classic to modern muscle, the fall finale was the year’s standout, generating over $5.5 million in total sales and selling more than half of all vehicles offered.
Auctioneers Michael Adcock and Jeffrey Knosp kept the pace electric, guiding bidders through an eclectic mix of American icons, European exotics, and rare collectibles. This year also marked the debut of the “All-Import Hour,” spotlighting a curated lineup of foreign favorites, including the top-selling 1965 Porsche 356, which brought $66,000. In addition to the cars, the event highlighted Carlisle’s dedication to charitable giving. Two major causes, Fund the Firehouse and Harley’s Haven Dog Rescue, took center stage, collectively raising over $26,000. A 2002 Lexus sold for $5,500 to benefit Enola Fire Company #3, while a 1952 GMC 1-Ton Pickup brought in $16,750 for Harley’s Haven, reminding everyone that the auction floor can be about more than horsepower and price tags.
Rounding out the excitement were the auction’s top overall sellers, led by a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette fetching $145,800. A 1963 Corvette followed at $127,500, alongside a 1958 Chevrolet Impala at $98,280 and a 1969 Camaro that sold for $87,480, all prices including applicable fees. “We’re thrilled to end 2025 on such a high note,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations. “Our consignors, bidders, and dedicated staff made this season one to remember.” Carlisle Auctions looks ahead to 2026, beginning with Spring Carlisle, returning April 23–24 to the Carlisle Expo Center.
