Filed in archive American Specials , Auctions , Racers by Philip Powell on June 16, 2008

When Joe MacPherson began his collection of sports, racing, custom cars and vintage motorcycles many years ago, he probably never thought it would eventually be worth in excess of $10,000,000. But that's how much was raised by RM Auctions at Monrovia, California on Saturday. Enthusiasts from all over North America had the opportunity to pay tribute to Joe and purchase a piece of the state's renowned car culture as 50 historic motor cars, 25 vintage motorcycles and a range of selected memorabilia from Joe's Garage went on the block. The entire collection was sold, with the top price of $2,035,000 going for the supercharged
1923 Miller 122 racer seen above. The late Joe MacPherson was a successful auto dealer, a lifelong collector, a sports car racing fan, and a gentleman who was proud to display his collection to the many visitors who passed through the museum's welcoming doors.Permalink: Magnificent Miller Sells for $2,035,000 at "Joe's Garage" Auction
