State Line Auto Auction to Hold Antique & Classic Sale
State Line Auto Auction in Waverly, NY will conduct its annual May “Antique and Classic Sale” with very special vehicles to be auctioned as part of the Wayne Miller Collection.
Auction President Jeff Barber was a good friend of Wayne Miller for four decades. “Wayne and I kind of grew up together in the used car business, as we met in 1983 when I joined my father at State Line.” Unfortunately, Wayne passed away last July. Barber continues: “Wayne’s family has entrusted the disposition of his vehicles to our family’s auction. They will form the nucleus of our specialty auction on May 17th which takes place immediately at the conclusion of our regular dealer auction. We expect over 900 units at our regular auction and over 200 antiques and classics.”
Through the years, Miller and his family owned and operated Miller Automotive and Miller Automotive Transport in Dushore, PA., and Miller Chevrolet in Troy, PA. Wayne was a lifelong racecar owner, with much success in his long career. Wayne’s oldest son, LW Miller, is married to Kelley Earnhardt Miller, the daughter of the late Dale Earnhardt.
Three special vehicles from their family will be offered: A 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS “Intimidator” owned by Kelley Earnhardt Miller……It is the only “Intimidator” edition built in 2002 by Chevrolet… truly “one of one”. A 2002 “Dick Harrell Edition” Camaro owned by Kelley’s brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will also be offered…it is one of only 30 “Dick Harrell Camaros” but with custom specifications for Dale Jr. Also to be offered is a 1972 VW “hot rod” that was Kelley Earnhardt’s personal vehicle.
The Wayne Miller estate collection consists of over 25 vehicles. Cars and trucks from the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s from Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Mercury, Plymouth, and Lotus are included. Wayne was known to buy quality vehicles with unique options and characteristics, and the auction on May 17th will offer exactly that.
Barber states: “Wayne and I traveled together to many collections and auctions through the years, and Wayne was well known in the industry. It is an honor to be able to assist his family in finding new owners for these great cars and trucks.”
State Line Auto Auction is a dealer only auto auction which conducts weekly auctions every Friday in Waverly, NY. It is the “birthplace of simulcast”, where the first cars were ever sold live and remotely simultaneously on October 12, 1995. When the GM Heritage Center wished to sell the last Oldsmobile ever built, and the last Olds Cutlass ever built, it chose State Line to sell them in December of 2017. The specialty vehicles to be offered on May 17th will continue the tradition of State Line Auto Auction being “The Best in the Bid-Ness”
