Casino magnate's estate auction hits an automotive jackpot

Listen! Do you like cars? of course you do! It doesn’t matter what area you are in, it The auction is for the estate of John Harrah.-Yes, that Harrah. From Porsches to heavy-duty pickup trucks and high-quality tools, there’s something here for those who like to spin a wheel (or a wrench) for fun.

The collection isn’t as vast as some of the museum pieces we’ve seen auctioned off in the past, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in variety. this item Probably one of my favorites, and it’s not even actually a car. This is a replica Porsche 356 ride-on toy designed for children. Pow-Pow-Power Wheels, eat to your heart’s content.

The cars themselves range from showroom-stock to heavily modified road and track cars. It comes with a very clean E46 coupe (visually designed as an homage to the E46 CSL) as well as almost all the tools you’ll need to build another coupe.

We’re talking about lifts (both) Two- And four posts), A Snap-on Tire Mounting RigAnd enough equipment cabinets to support your own hardware business, and all the manufacturing equipment to start your own production. need your own cnc rig? Yep, they’ve got that too. There are also fume hoods, drill presses and all the portable equipment you could possibly want.

It’s also quite clear that Harrah loved jeeps. There are four in the auction – three Wranglers and a Gladiator – and three of them look like they came from one of Mopar Performance Parts’ SEMA haulers. The closest to stock appears to be the 2023 model finished in Earl Grey. It’s the Rubicon’s 20th anniversary with the 392, which is probably why it’s been left untouched.

If you’re looking for something to serve as more of a blank canvas, there’s 2024 Rubicon 392 in the mix. There’s no threat to your future Barrett-Jackson chances if you start hacking sheet metal on it. After all, Jeep has made it clear that the V8 is no longer a limited-edition feature.

Everything shown here (along with the rest of the collection) will go live on August 5th and the auction will end on the 15th. There’s no reserve for anything, so here’s your chance to buy some high-quality shop equipment (or your next off-road rig) for cheap. happy hunting!
