Southern California is often heaven for vintage cars, no harsh weather to break them down and long straight roads for driving. On June 14, RM Auctions will present one of the great Southern California collections, the one belonging to the late Joe MacPherson. MacPherson was a passionate car enthusiast who spent his life devoted to buying, selling and restoring collectible automobiles which he kept at 'Joe's Garage' - a private automotive museum and banquet facility in Tustin, California. The auction will feature 50 historic motor cars for sale, in addition to selected memorabilia and a 25 outstanding motorcycles.

Highlights of the collection include the record-holding 1954 Chrisman Ford Bonneville Coupe, built by the famous Chrisman brothers; a 1957 McCluskey Sprint Car "Tamale Wagon", which won over 120 races and four California Racing Association championships; a 1966 Gurney Eagle Indy Car, which is considered amongst the most beautiful and inspiring of all Gurney Eagles ever built; and a multiple race-winning 1992 Chevrolet Lumina formerly owned by the legendary Dale Earnhardt. The big ticket of the auction is one of the most important Miller racing cars in existence, the supercharged 1923 Miller 122. Badged number 2, this example was driven by such racing greats as Eddie Hearne, Ira Vail, Earl Cooper and Bill Albertson. Following its retirement from racing and a full restoration, this car was awarded 'Best in Class' at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It is estimated to sell fro $900,000 to $1.2 million.

The American Concours Foundation, a not-for-profit auction community, has put four classic automobiles up for sale on eBay with the benefits going to various concours-related charities. All four cars are now on eBay. They are a 1955 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, a 1954 Jaguar XK 120 Drop Head Coupe, a 1933 Lincoln KA V-12 Model 513A Convertible Roadster, and a 1967 Jaguar E Type Vintage Roadster OTS. The cars are all in concours-ready shape and the auctions end today through March 13.

It's Barrett Jackson time again. The January auction in Scottsdale, Arizona always brings out exciting vehicles, often vintage or celeb-owned cars but our siblings at Autoblog report that one of Ford's 75th Anniversary Deuce convertibles will be auctioned off January 16 or 17, with the proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The snazzy car was constructed by Hot Rods and Horsepower and has a 32-valve 348 V8, custom leather interior with 75th Anniversary logos in one of HR&HP's replica all-metal '32 Ford Dearborn Deuce bodies. The car has a retail value of $250,000.

Other hot cars at the auction include CNN's Warrior One, a 1993 Hummer used by embedded journalists, a 1930 Dusenberg J, and the "Last" Corvette, a 1967 Coupe which was the last C-2 series Corvette ever built.

The results are in from this year's Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. As usual the results are astounding. The 1967 Shelby owned by rock star Sammy Hagar sold for $270,000. The Shelby was far from the most expensive lot item. A 1950 General Motors Futurliner Parade of Progress Tour Bus brought in over $4 million. The auction wraps up today and the list of prices by lot can be found here.
