What happened at the auction?
The Auburn appeared as lot R0064 in RM Sotheby’s Hershey 2026 sale. The official listing now marks it sold, but that status does not reveal the hammer price or the buyer’s total. Carscoops reported the $850,000–$950,000 estimate on October 7, 2026; it is an estimate, not a confirmed sale result. Carscoops’ report and RM Sotheby’s lot listing provide the respective figures and status.

Why this Auburn is notable
Early-production identity
RM Sotheby’s calls the car the first Auburn 851 Supercharged Speedster produced. The catalog records serial number 851 32050 E, engine GH 3341, body U47-200, supercharger number 1001 and early frame number 1050. It says the first 851 cars used unused 1932–1933 speedster bodies updated to Gordon Buehrig’s design.
The catalog attributes details about the earliest cars to speedster historian and restorer John Ehresman: the first 16 had more enclosed, pontoon-style front fenders, and only the first four had exhaust pipes emerging through hood louvers. This car has both features. Those details support the catalog’s production-order claim, but the claim should be understood as RM Sotheby’s documented attribution, not an independently established factory record.

Design and mechanical specification
RM Sotheby’s credits Buehrig with the design, whose features include a bold grille, chrome side exhaust pipes, a vee-shaped windshield, pontoon fenders and a tapered boattail rear. Auburn positioned the high-performance Speedster as an effort to revive the company’s fortunes during the Great Depression.
RM Sotheby’s describes a Schwitzer-Cummins-supercharged engine producing 150 horsepower and a Columbia dual-ratio rear axle with selectable high and low ratios. Carscoops identifies the engine as a 4.6-liter Lycoming straight-eight and the transmission as a three-speed manual. These are specifications attributed to those sources, rather than independent measurements.

The model year and title do not match
The lot heading identifies the car as a 1935 Auburn 851, and RM Sotheby’s discusses it as an early 1935 model. But the catalog addendum says it is titled as a 1934. The model designation and title year are therefore distinct details; the listing does not make them interchangeable.

A dashboard plaque bearing Ab Jenkins’s engraved signature says the car had “been driven 100.1 miles per hour before shipment.” RM Sotheby’s calls that assertion “a fanciful claim, though one based in fact, as Jenkins did top the century mark in a stock speedster at Bonneville.” The general claim that Jenkins exceeded 100 mph in a stock Speedster does not establish that this particular car underwent that test before delivery. The official catalog supplies the qualification.

Ownership, accident and restoration history
RM Sotheby’s says the car was believed to have spent its early years in New York and Rhode Island before reaching Massachusetts. After an accident, Martin S. Papazian rescued it in the early 1950s, reportedly buying it from David R. Revolti for $200. In 1956, Papazian gave it to Paul Walker in exchange for work on Papazian’s Cordster. Walker kept the car for 30 years and installed a replacement frame during an amateur restoration.
After Walker’s restoration, the car was loaned to the Sturbridge Auto Museum. John Ehresman acquired it in 1986 and had it certified by the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club at that year’s National Reunion. The certification chief recorded features indicating that it had been built as the first 1935 851 model speedster.

RM Sotheby’s says invoices document more than $15,000 in work during 2025–2026 on steering, braking, fueling and suspension systems, along with detailing and refinishing. That is a reported invoice total for the specified work, not a measure of the car’s overall restoration value or an independent assessment of its present condition.
