Update: All of the cars on this list were successfully sold during the July GAA Classic Car Auction. The prices have been added to the original story.

While many people speculated that the collector car market would take a hit, it seems like the opposite is happening, with enthusiasts investing in cars at a higher rate than expected. Here are some of the best No Reserve cars that will cross the auction block this week.
