More than 1,400 cars, trucks, motorcycles and other collector-worthy vehicles were offered on the Mecum auction block this past weekend in Dallas at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, and a total of 75% of them hammered sold for an overall total of $46 million. The strong results qualify the event as Mecum’s second highest-grossing Dallas auction to date.
Top sales at the auction included an exceptionally varied assortment of vehicles from foreign to domestic and from vintage to modern. The top 10 sellers were bookended by a pair of Shelbys; a 1965 GT350 Fastback (Lot S117) that sold for more than a half-million dollars came in as the auction leader, and a 1968 GT500 Convertible (Lot F92.1) tied for ninth at $220,000. A pair of Porsches also landed seats among the top-selling auction lots with a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (Lot S122.1) bringing $401,500 and a 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Lot S137) bringing $280,500. A Ford couplet and a trio of Corvettes continued the pattern of pairings, with the selections led by a 2005 Ford GT (Lot S120.1) that sold for $374,000 and a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Convertible (Lot S155.1) that achieved $346,500.
The aforementioned 2018 Porsche and Ford GT were part of the highly anticipated Allen Collection, an assemblage that ultimately saw six of its vehicles hammer sold for a total of $1.19 million. Another private collection highlight was the six-truck Mile High Collection, a group that achieved a perfect sell-through rate with an aggregate sale total of $440,950.
