OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would generously pay above-market prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in September, all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

When it came time to revamp its bread-and-butter 3-Series lineup for the 1999 model year, the German automaker focused on refinement and quality. The new E46-generation 3-Series range — available in sedan, wagon, convertible, and coupe configurations in the U.S. — was a massive leap forward thanks to its far more luxurious interior. And yet these cars remained just as fun to drive as the outgoing model thanks to a low curb weight and rev-happy six-cylinder engines.
