It was not a quiet weekend for Houston’s Reliant Center as Mecum Auctions brought its second annual classic car auction to the Lone Star state. During the three-day auction held April 4-6, 1,034 cars crossed the block, along with nearly 200 pieces of Road Art and memorabilia. With a sell-through rate of 72 percent, auction sales reached a $25,062,931 total.
Hammering at $220,000 and garnering the top sale was a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback with its original drivetrain and interior. Bringing a $185,000 sale and grabbing the second seat on the top 10 sales list was an extremely rare production Cadillac, a 1931 V12 Roadster complete with accessory trunk and rumble seat complementing its distinguished vintage flair. Other lots rounding out the top 10 sales of the weekend included a 1954 Buick Skylark selling for $140,000, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe selling at $125,000 and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird selling for $107,000.
