RM Sotheby's to Sell Beau Boeckmann's 120-Car Collection Across Two 2027 Auctions

RM Sotheby's will disperse The Boeckmann Collection over two sales in 2027, with more than 120 vehicles assembled across decades by Beau Boeckmann, president of Galpin Motors and a lifelong enthusiast and collector. The Arizona Auction anchors the program, stretched to two days so that over 50 cars can cross the block on January 28; bidding on the remaining 60-plus vehicles then closes February 4 in an online sale. The consignment deliberately resists the usual categories of car collecting, mixing hot rods and landmark customs with muscle cars, Hollywood screen vehicles, rare Fords, and brightly colored Porsches alongside Aston Martins, Lotuses and Mercedes-Benzes, plus machines described as resembling escapes from a designer's midnight sketchbook. Several lots carry film and television provenance. RM Sotheby's frames the offering as a portrait of California car culture, stressing its creativity and eccentricity rather than a single collecting lane. The two-part structure pairs a live Arizona auction with a timed online component, spreading the collection across formats and dates.
