Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying?
 

I'm pumped about this weekends Mecum Auction and getting ready to head to Indy. Would have liked to see Dave C's sign collection sell, but have to work, at least today.

With the incredible amount of extremely desirable and choice cars being offered, was just wondering who may be planning on attending and what is going across the block that really gets you going.

I know that Charlie will be bringing in his Brinks truck...anyone else planning on expanding their collections?

I will be like a kid in candy store. (donations will be accepted) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I'll be there Saturday and overnight Saturday Night.

Piggy Bank already empty though, Should be a good time.

I just spoke with Chris P. and he told me that the signs were bringing big money. I can't wait to go on Saturday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

701,000.00 for the signs tonight!!!!!!!!!

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

WOW!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Jerry Mac Neish is putting Old Reliable on the block. It goes up on Sat. in prime time. I was told it is on Discovery Net, but I can't find that station on my Dish Network.

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

I headed over today & saturday. The sign collection brought big bucks. I left last night when a large chevrolet neon sign with clock on top went for 50K. That is nuts.Since I do know about all the cars, it is hard for me to get a feel for how prices are going.
Guess today & sat will help me gage the market.Different cars, different conditions, etc. It can be too much to take in at once.

I normally do not play powerball but when cars like this come up for sale, I can't resist playing. If I won I was coming home HEAVY.. with Chevys.

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Whats the old reliable car Jerry is running through?

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

OK, enough with the suspense...

Now, somebody post the photos of the auction for those of us that had to go camping in the rain with the Cubscouts.

Hey, that's not the correct fan shroud sticker. Instead of the alleged Camaro "CAUTION FAN" sticker, shouldnt it have the rare "CAUTION ROCKET" sticker?

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Congrats on buying the special built drag car, even if it is a Ford. Is that Holman or Moody in the back seat? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Neat...another weak moment for Charley.

Ya gonna stuff that engine in the Isetta? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

I just watched it again didn't he buy both of those cars?

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Wow.. Charley They made look like you bought the Rocket car on TV.. That car looked awesome.

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Charley,

When this car was on the block....I heard it saying, O`Charley. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Another great car for your collection. Congrats.

Weak moment? I'll say. That thing is absoluetly gorgeous! Looks like its going 100 mph in the photo. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Nice one Charley. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

I didn't buy the rocket powered 64 Galaxie. Everything about that car was amazing. He had a video playing that was made by Turbonique showing all the stuff they did with those rocket engines and it was funny as heck. Joey Chitwood drove a Z16 ? with one in it and watching it light off as it is going down the strip is hilarious.
My Fairlane is cool because of the Cammer but the fact that it was done back in 66 at Holman Moody to be a street racer is really cool. It even started life as a black hipo 390 4 speed car.

Re: Mecum Auction This weekend; Who's Going/Buying
 

Always liked that body; especially when equipped with a tunnel port. But,...... changing plugs in a 390/427 was an episode. Stuffin a cammer in the space cured that problem though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif What's the exhaust system look like?

Love the plain-Jane look, and I'm a little partial to the color. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
