Worldwide Auctioneers Brings Celebrity Cars to Auburn

Worldwide Auctioneers is counting down to its largest ever Labor Day weekend event at the end of August. 400 cars are slated for the 54th Annual Auburn Auction and Show — a three-day sale that will include a selection of vehicles with star quality and celebrity provenance.

These cars are part of a curated offering of outstanding sports and supercars, pioneering race cars, exceptional pre-war automobiles, state-of-the-art Cybertrucks, select muscle cars and custom bikes. The auction kicks on Thursday, August 29 and runs through Saturday, August 31, and is open to the general public.

Enthusiasts can look forward to some iconic cars, trucks and bikes with famous associations.

The Grateful Dead’s personal equipment truck is slated to cross the block — the 1949 Studebaker M5 formerly owned by the ‘Acid King’ Owsley Stanley himself, the band’s original sound man. Used as the group’s equipment hauler in the 1960s and often seen parked outside the Dead’s studio in Novato, California, ‘The Dred’ became a legend in its own right, mentioned by name in Rolling Stone magazine.

The 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster used in the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio will cross the block as well. It’s one of just 132 VT Diablo Roadsters built for U.S. market between 1995 and 1999.

Even more far out there and offered with a mere 166 delivery miles is a 2024 Tesla Cyberbeast Truck. Equipped with the most desirable Cyberbeast package and delivering a mind boggling 2.6-second 0 to 60, it is one of the most futuristic and technologically advanced vehicles ever produced. It will cross the block along with its electric vehicle antithesis, a wonderful pioneering 107-year-old 1917 Rauch & Lang JX7 Electric, an early pioneer of ‘green energy’ and the electric car market.

The sale also showcases modern sportscars, supercars and hypercars, including one of the fastest production Ferraris ever produced, an ultra-exclusive 2024 Ferrari SF90 Spider Assetto Fiorano, offered without reserve from the Lone Star Estate Collection, with a staggering $252,000 in factory options.
