\"\"<\/a>Mecum Auctions held its 2012 Kissimmee Auction on January 24-29 at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida, resulting in total sales of nearly $60,000,000 and a 73% sell-through rate.<\/p>\n

The Florida auction kicked off Mecum\u2019s 25th year and a staggering 2,158 vehicles crossed the block, the most in company history. The six-day event achieved a 30% increase in attendance over last year. Hammer price sales for the week-long auction totaled $55,397,462, and factoring in Buyer\u2019s premium, total gross sales are reaching close to $60,000,000 as ‘Bid Goes On’ sales continue to rise. Mecum sold 1,548 vehicles with a 73% sell-through rate.<\/p>\n

Mecum Auctions president Dana Mecum said, \u201cKissimmee kicked off the 2012 auction season and Mecum\u2019s 25th year in business, and I can\u2019t think of a better way to begin celebrating our Silver Anniversary than with a record-breaking auction. Company records were smashed in nearly every category including number of vehicles offered, vehicles sold, total sales, attendance, and number of registered bidders.\u201d<\/p>\n

With nearly 300 Corvettes offered during the 2012 Mecum Kissimmee auction, quite a few were in the Top Ten, but the top sale went to the 1963 Shelby Cobra Dragon Snake that hammered sold for $850,000. The Shelby Cobra CSX2093 is reportedly the winningest competition Cobra in history, having won 7 NHRA National events and the 1966 NHRA World Championship.<\/p>\n

Dana Mecum observed, \u201cWe have a heavyweight title bout going on within our own organization for the title of World\u2019s Largest Collector Car Auction. With the great success from this auction, Kissimmee 2012 has captured the crown from Indy 2011 as the World\u2019s Largest. Stay tuned for \u2018Indy in May\u2019 as it works to regain the crown as the World\u2019s Largest.\u201d<\/p>\n
