My favorites.

Dumb question - is there a list where you can see what cars sold for what? Love to see what that SLR Mclaren sold for.

And thank you for the photos! They are phenomenal.

Yes there is. Mecum.com and pick the auction you want to look at. I think there is a auction results page. You do have to sign up on their web site to see what the cars sold for or bid up to but it is free to do so.

Great pics. How much did the blue LX notch go for? The market is going insane on clean foxbodies.

Really great photos there. It was fun browsing through them. One of my favorites is the black Falcon Sprint. Thanks for posting all the photos.

Nice pictures. My dad owned the 68.5 Super Cobra Jet Mustang that was raced by Bill Ireland. That was a really good car.... He sold it in the 90's with 418 original miles.

I went with a friend to the Mecum auction when it came through Houston a few years ago. Glad I went. It was like a giant car show full of bad ass rides.

Weather turned foul so we drove up instead of riding up. No biggie.

I was amazed at how many cars they had for sale, probably 3x more than what I saw at Barrett Jackson last year in W. Palm Beach. Loads & loads of pristine American Muscle. You almost became dulled by how many good looking vintage Corvettes, Camaro, & Stangs there were.

IMHO, the quality of the cars f/s at Mecum was well above the BJ show. Altho I enjoyed the BJ auction, they had some real, high mileage beaters that were just cleaned up nicely. When you got up close, you could easily see it. But BJ had a wider variety of cars f/s, not just focused on American Muscle.

BJ also had lots more vendors selling stuff, better t-shirt shops and variety of food offerings. I think it was more family oriented, kind of like an event whereas Mecum was an auction- it was almost all business. At Mecum, vendors were non-existent, food selection was good, but limited and very pricey. And they were strict on their seating policy. If you weren't a vendor, you didn't get anywhere near the stage or up close to bidders or the cars. You better have seen them outside.

Overall tho, not a bad way to spend 3-4 hours. We enjoyed ourselves & I'd go back again & recommend it for car guys.
