Mecum Debrief

Id venture a guess that 40% sales rate at Mecum means more cars actually changed hands than at some of the 100% sales rate auctions where 75% of the cars sold never went anywhere but back in the sellers trailer. I still say mecum is by far the #1 outfit for muscle cars and the like. Thanks for the post i was wondering what the final results were.

This morning at the coffee shop I parked next to a GTO Judge convertible. I don't know much about GTO's but this looked to be about a 1971. It was an automatic and bright orange. Looked like an older restoration - good paint with a few bubbles and chips. There was a 455 decal on each side of the rear wing. Could this have been a $250-$350k car like the 2 from this auction?

"S97 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 Convertible 2 build sheets, dual snorkel, M-22, rotisserie restoration, diamond certified $350,000 sold"

I don't know how nice the LS6 was now but it was at Russo@Steele Monterey a few yars ago and it had a very poor resto back then. Lots of poor floor patch work back then. A real car that basically needed another resto.

Was that the Fathom blue,no cowl no gauges car that Volo sold in the early 90s?? Was in Florida for a long while.

I beleive the car had just received another restoration, possesed its original drivetrain and had good documentation. It had just been "Diamond Certified" but I'm not aware of its score. The lack of options is whats thought to have hampered the bids. A "buyers auction" it must be..says Yoda!
