1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Mecum Seattle 2014 auction was staged June 13-14 at CenturyLink Field Event Center in Seattle, Washington, resulting in $15,125,097 in total sales. Mecum’s inaugural Seattle sale saw 322 vehicles successfully cross the auction block over the two-day auction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was evident about an hour into the first auction day that the fine people of Seattle were glad we\u2019d come to town,\u201d described Mecum Auctions’ President and Founder Dana Mecum. \u201cThe auction arena at CenturyLink Field Event Center quickly filled to capacity, and we had a great first auction. Our consignment docket exceeded expectations in both quantity and quality, and with the record-setting sale of the Hemi \u2019Cuda Convertible, it instantly put Mecum Seattle on the map. We look forward to returning to the Emerald City next year.”<\/p>\n

The top result at the 2014 Mecum Seattle sale went to the 1971 Plymouth Hemi \u2018Cuda Convertible that hammered sold for $3,500,000, the highest price achieved at auction for any of the storied muscle cars that came out of Detroit in the Golden Age. The \u2019Cuda (Lot S95) is one of just two four-speed examples delivered in the U.S. and the only one still powered by its factory-original engine and drivetrain.<\/p>\n

Shortly following the bidding war (see video below) that ended with the record sale of the Hemi \u2019Cuda, four Calypso Coral Ford Boss Mustangs from the Legacy Collection paraded to the block. Beginning with the 1970 Boss 429, each car from the collection witnessed vivacious bidding activity. Offered by local Washington collector Josh Dykes who had regularly shown this group of Mustangs at local events, it was obvious that bidders had been anxiously awaiting their chance to snag a Legacy Boss for themselves. The 1970 Boss 429 (Lot S118) gaveled at $340,000 and became the auction\u2019s second highest seller. The 1969 and 1970 Boss 302 Fastbacks hammered at $115,000 and $105,000, respectively (Lots S118.1 and S119). To round out the group, Dykes\u2019 2012 Boss 302 Patriot Edition (Lot S119.1) brought $86,000.<\/p>\n
