This year’s auction also offered a number of project vehicles that were in varying degrees of restoration this included everything from a 1974 VW Bug to a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Bruce Peoples, KIKO’s Classic Car Specialist, stated, “Offering project vehicles to those who are looking for winter projects was a nice addition to our auction.”
