Mecum Auctions

[The Demon]

I don’t think I’ve seen this here but I could be mistaken. Who here watches the Mecum auctions. The shit on there is ridiculous and man I wish I had the money to just sit there and blow. No pun intended.

On one hand I think it’s kinda interesting to see what kinds of cars are up for auction.

On the other, I blame these types of auctions / spectacles for ridiculous classic car values. I really don’t know if that’s true, but it feels like it could be.

I agree 100%. But some of these classics which what I mean by that is not the guys who take cars and make them into something they’re not are just amazing. I’m looking at a 1968 Corvette right now. It’s a 390 hp 427.

Yeah, because now everyone thinks the rusted out rolling chassis that's been rotting in their yard for years is a potential 6-figure car that just needs "a little work".

Exactly. And worse yet, people pay it.

The cars that sell on the first day of the auction. Seam to be great values. You can get a nearly restored car for 10-15k. It won’t be a split window Vette. But for someone looking to get into the hobbie. Great first collector cars.
