I cover the Mecum Collector Car Auctions for a couple different national outlets, and they recently held a "Summer Special" in Orlando:
With an original MSRP of $5,027, this 1969 Shelby GT500 Convertible sold for a cool $160,000:
Bidding on this 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet went to $260,000, but that failed to meet the reserve:
One of my favorites, this 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback sold for $220,000:
The bidding got up to $220,000 on this 2016 Dodge Viper ACR, but that wasn't enough to get it done:
This 1969 Dodge Custom Charger was featured in the movie "Fast & Furious 7". It sold for $93,500:
This 2017 Lamborghini Aventador LP 740-4 S was the auction's top seller at $440,000:
Anyway, that's just a smattering of what was on hand. I don't enjoy the summer auctions as much as the January one. That one is a week and a half long and has well over 3,500 cars, some of which sell into the millions of dollars. We rent an apartment down in Kissimmee and turn it into a mini vacation. This auction had just over 1,000 cars and, while I stayed at a hotel for one night, I could've pulled it off in a single day...
