1967 Shelby 427 Cobra Roadster sold for $1,100,000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Mecum Indianapolis 2016 auction was held May 17-21 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, resulting in $48,873,590 in total sales and a 70 percent sell-through rate. Dana Mecum\u2019s 29th annual Original Spring Classic sale saw 1,567 vehicles cross the auction block with 1,094 hammering sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith an increase of more than 20 percent in car sales from last year\u2019s event, this was another undeniably successful auction for Mecum, and a great testament to this year\u2019s continued growth and strong momentum,\u201d said Consignment Director Frank Mecum.\u201cIt\u2019s wild to imagine that this auction started some 29 years ago with a fraction of the cars, and here we stand today, knocking down $50 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2016 edition of Mecum’s Original Spring Classic featured more than a dozen private collection offerings, most of which were dominated by classic muscle cars. Friday, May 20 saw the headlining Joe McMurrey Collection of 17 cars cross the auction block and each and every one hammer sold for a total of $3,412,000. Three of McMurrey\u2019s cars landed in the auction\u2019s top 10 sales with his 1967 Shelby Cobra (Lot F124) commanding the highest hammer price of all five auction days at $1,100,000. His two Shelby GT350 Fastbacks also sold well, with his \u201965 (Lot F125) gaveling at $500,000 and his \u201967 (Lot F127) at $285,000.<\/p>\n

Keeping with the Shelby-themed top sales, the 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster (Lot F163) that crossed the auction block a bit later that day also commanded seven figures with a final bid of $1 million.<\/p>\n
