On Oct. 16-17, Richmond Auctions will bring its inaugural Fall Spectacular to the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, with more than 125 classic and collector vehicles and 400 pieces of vintage automobilia, according to a press release. Led by Dave Kindig’s TwelveAir, winner of the 2024 Ridler Award, and a 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition, the two-day auction spans generations of automotive history, from pre-war automobiles and American muscle to racing machinery, modern performance vehicles and award-winning customs.
Beyond the cars, the Fall Spectacular will feature an extensive collection of vintage advertising, automobilia, petroliana and country-store memorabilia, bringing together the vehicles, artifacts and stories that helped shape America’s automotive culture.
Kindig’s Ridler-Winning TwelveAir Crosses the Block
TwelveAir is one of four Kindig-built vehicles offered in the sale. Kindig, the renowned custom-car builder and star of “Bitchin’ Rides,” built TwelveAir over four and a half years in a dedicated room inside the Kindig-it Design shop to keep the project under wraps. TwelveAir won the Ridler Award at the 2024 Detroit Autorama, and its journey to the award was chronicled in the eight-episode series “Bitchin’ Rides: Road to the Ridler.”
Rare Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition
The 2021 Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition is one of only 30 produced. Ford selected each of the original 30 buyers rather than offering the limited model through a traditional public sales process, making its appearance at auction a notable opportunity for collectors, auction organizers said.
The Savoy Automobile Museum brings Richmond Auctions’ collector marketplace to a venue dedicated to automotive history and culture. Richmond Auctions’ co-owner Mike McCandless personally contributed four Chrysler Letter Cars from his private collection to Savoy’s 2026 “The Mighty 300” exhibition.
From Petroliana to Collector Cars
Founded by collectors Jordan Richmond and McCandless, Richmond Auctions built its reputation around high-end advertising memorabilia, automobilia and petroliana before expanding into collector cars. A lifelong collector with roots in American performance cars and Mopar history, McCandless brings firsthand perspective on the connection between the vehicles collectors pursue and the racing, brands and culture behind them, noted the release.
“I grew up around drag racing because of my dad, Herb, so the cars came first for me,” said McCandless. “I used to dismiss the old signs. Then I started learning the stories behind the dealerships and brands, and I saw how much history they add to the cars. Bringing both together at Savoy is personal for me, and it’s a glimpse of where we want to take Richmond Auctions.”
Richmond Auctions’ expansion into collector cars gained momentum with its first major automobile sale, the 2025 Tony Townley Collection auction, which generated more than $25 million in sales, achieved a 99.8% sell-through rate and attracted registered bidders from around the world. The Fall Spectacular hopes to build on that momentum, bringing Richmond Auctions’ automotive and memorabilia categories together in one sale designed for established collectors and enthusiasts alike.
How to Bid
The auction begins at 10 a.m. ET on Friday and Saturday at the Savoy Automobile Museum, located at 3 Savoy Lane in Cartersville, Georgia. Bidders can participate in person, online, by phone or through the Richmond Auctions app.
