SPRING COLLECTOR CAR AUCTION by Chip Pearce Collector Car Auctions/BidWinCruise
Online bidding ends Saturday, May 2nd @ 7:00pm central time.
We are accepting no more than 50 cars in this consignment auction. It is a curated consignment event so we are no allowing any duplicates of the same year/make/model car. Example: If someone consigns a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, we will not accept anymore similar cars in the same auction. Contact Chip Pearce if you are interested in consigning your vehicle to this auction. We are accepting quality vintage and collectible automobiles, trucks, boats and motorcycles in this auction. We will have an OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, May 2nd, 10am until 3pm. Come out and join us for Hot dogs, cold drinks and an ice cream from our Chip's Hot Rod Garage ice cream parlor located at the Pearce Auction Center, 720 Fulton Springs Road, Alabaster, Alabama . The auction will end that evening starting at 7:00pm central time.
A few cars already consigned include:
The "Chip Pearce" Collection! If you are a collector you will understand. At some point, we all decide it's time to sell our personal collection and let someone else enjoy them for the next season. I've owned 5 to 10 collector vehicles at a time most of my life. Recently I sold a few of my rides, gifted a few to my children and I have now decided it's time to sell the rest. Between grandchildren, travel and health issues, it just makes sense to let them go. I'll pick up something new to enjoy a little later down the road. Heck, I really get to enjoy all of my clients cars while I am selling them at auction anyway! Take a look at my rides up for auction.
The "Chip Pearce" Bread Sled - A one off, total custom built Grumman Olson Kurbmaster Street Rod built by owner, Chip Pearce. This isa 8 year long custom build that you may have seen at many car show events. Over $80,000 invested! It features an LS3 with matching automatic transmission from a late model Camaro, a custom built S-10 Chassis with RideTech Air ride (slams to the ground), 22" Boze Wheels, custom bomber seats with steel custom mounts, aluminum radiator, tilt steering wheel and billet steering wheel, all brand new glass and rubber and much much more. All of the signs have been removed from the Sled and the aluminum body has been polished. It has a current 2026 Alabama registration.
1953 Chevrolet 5 Window (Gulf) Tribute Truck! Custom build, Street Rod. LS, Automatic, New computer and electronic fuel injection system, modified chassis with new front end and rear end, TCI Leather Custom interior, AC,PS, PB, Custom wheels/tires, Wilwood Brakes, custom paint and more. Over $65,000 in the build. Current 2026 Alabama registration.
The "Cindy Lyn". Spectacular 1961 Catalina Dorsette. A "Resto-Mod" vintage boat you can actually show and enjoy. We took an original boat that had been in the same family since 1961 (She lived on the Great Lakes) and we removed the old engine and installed a brand new Honda 60HP, 4 stroke with new controls. We also purchased a brand new galvanized steel trailer for her to travel on. It's simply fantastic and steals the show at ever car show we take her to. We used her just a few times in Gulf Shores, Alabama before we brought her back to Birmingham to our barn. It has probably less than 6 hours on the engine since the restoration. People with multi million dollar boats give us the thumbs up when she cruises by. It's been to several gulf coast car shows and steals the show. A significant amount of money was invested in the restoration and it shows. Over $15,000 in the new engine and boat trailer alone! She has a current 2026 Alabama registration.
One of the nicest 1951 Mercury 2 Door Sedans you will find! We purchased her from an Estate in Nevada where she lived her whole life. The owner passed away and we had it shipped to Alabama. The body is exceptional with very few flaws. The dry desert conditions were good to her! She has a nice running flathead V8 and automatic transmission. We installed a new electric fuel pump and rebuilt the carb. The stainless, glass, chrome, paint and interior are all very nice and presentable. The only customization to the car is the pin striping and it looks great. A real jewel and highly sought after Mercury!
