I think a couple of those examples show how much higher auction prices are compared to the normal market, think bidding wars.
Somehow, some way, Mecum managed to move some 4000 cars across the auction block in just 13 days.
While we were there to capture the action and offer an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of a Mecum auction, we had a chance to pick a few favorites.
Here they are, in no particular order:
The sixth of just 200 built and finished in a rare combo of Bianco over a Nero interior, the Ferrari also retains its numbers-matching engine and gearbox. Unsold at $1,100,000.
One of just 701 examples produced, this Porsche 911 shows just 28,680 miles and retains its original engine and gearbox. Sold for $175,000.
A later production Series II example, this 507 underwent an extensive restoration by Germany-based BMW specialist Brummer of Munich. Unsold at $1,400,000.
Previously part of the Lingenfelter collection, this Cobra R is one of just 300 examples produced for the 2000 model year and shows only 2774 miles since new. Sold at $121,000.
1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/LM Competizione Speciale
Speculated to be the first $100 million Ferrari, this example is one of just three Berlinetta Competizione models produced and features known ownership since new. Unsold.
Showing just 1133 kilometers from new (approximately 703 miles) this XJ220 won best in class at the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance and is accompanied by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, original books and more. Unsold at $600,000.
