In just a few days, Bradley and I will be heading out for a 1,600-mile road trip. This journey is long overdue. It’s been almost two years since we threw our bags in the back of a car, put the top down and headed out from Portland. Our travel and […]

Keith’s Blog: This Week a Ferrari Got Away!
Last week it was a 1975 Citroën DS23 that I backed off on. It sold for $37,800. This week’s temptation was a 2003 Ferrari 456M GTA. Matt Crandall at the Avant-Garde Collection is constantly getting in the way of my attempts be a thoughtful, patient collector. I asked him to handle […]

Keith’s Blog: No Citroën for Me
When SCMer Greg Long listed a 1975 DS23 Pallas on Bring a Trailer, it caught my attention. In addition to being a very-late model with a 2.3-liter engine, it had a Citromatic 4-speed automatic that you shifted manually. I’ve always had a soft spot for Citroëns. Whenever I see one, […]

Keith’s Blog: The Uber Rollback Program
Three strikes and you’re out. That’s been my philosophy with old cars for some time. Recognizing that a car that comes into the SCM Collection may not have been used regularly, I anticipate a period of unreliability as they are put into service. However, our 1965 Volvo is testing my […]

From the Auction Desk: Charging to Online Auctions
This upcoming weekend, June 27 and 28, was when it was all supposed to go back to quasi-normal. At least that was the hope back in late March and April, when auction companies were canceling sales and moving auction dates on the calendar. Mecum moved their Indy sale to this […]
