Jim was enterprising and would ship cars to customers not just across the US, but around the world, selling both new and classic cars. While Jim would ship classic cars to collectors all over the world, he always kept the most interesting cars for himself, amassing a collection that includes rare classics like the 1970 Plymouth Superbird and the 1963 Chrysler Pacesetter Conv. Indy Pace Car, 1970 Plymouth GTX, and many more.

54 cars will be auctioned off on July 18th, 2020, at the Dealership in Milbank, South Dakota. The auction will be one of the first on-site events in the U.S. since the COVID-19 outbreak.
