Other than the hemis and the Yenko collection it actually looks like there were a lot of reasonably priced cars there.

A lot of no solds, hard to tell from that list, go to the site itself..

MECUM - Very nice '70 Chevelle SS convertible (L34) went for $144,900 with commissions. Looks like this was the highest price for all Chevelles offered on this particular day.

Rising water lifts most boats....some more than others.

That Chevelle was a very nice restoration, loaded with NOS parts. L34, 4 speed and a/c.

I saw that Fathom Blue Chevelle Convt.in St.Louis years ago.It was at a "VOLO" type carbrokers showroom.I took pix then and it was nice.Up in the air with wheels off etc.
They wanted 100K 5 years ago.
As soon as I saw it on the Mecum menu,I knew which one it was.
$128K it sold +11% more in fees for the $144K final.
Also:
#C49 White/Red LS-6 sold 66,150.00.
#S11 Red/Red LS-6 Convt. sold $73,150.00.

Just catching up on my Hemmings Muscle Machines reading, and they had this about Steven Schultz, the buyer of the Yenko lot, in the Feb '06 issue (I realize some of these details have been posted here before):
