Celebrating 25 incredible years, State Line Auto Auction rang in a milestone for one of our most exciting sales yet. A quarter century of service, growth, and community support made this sale one of the most memorable in our history.
To mark the occasion, we welcomed NASCAR legend Geoff Bodine as our special guest. Known for his success on the track and his impact on the racing world, Bodine’s appearance brought extra excitement to the day. Dealers and guests enjoyed the opportunity to meet him, capture photos, and share in the celebration with a true motorsports icon.
The festivities didn’t stop there. We drew the winner for the 2006 H3 Hummer giveaway, hosted our largest Chicken Bar-B-Que to date, and enjoyed live entertainment that kept the energy high throughout the event. From start to finish, the 25th Anniversary Sale was a true celebration of State Line’s legacy and the many relationships built over the years.

A Legacy of Innovation and Community
Founded in 1981 by Harry and Zora Barber, State Line Auto Auction has grown from its early days with just two lanes into a cornerstone of the dealer community. A big part of that journey was making history in 1995 as the first auto auction to sell vehicles via Simulcast, helping to shape the future of auto auctions.
Of course, our story is just as much about people as it is about progress. Our dedicated team and the strong relationships built with dealers and the local community have been at the heart of our success. Each anniversary is not only a chance to celebrate another year in business, but also a reminder of the lasting connections that continue to drive us forward.
