NEW SALES RECORD

The Mecum Florida Summer Special 2024 is revving up to be a high-octane spectacle with approximately 1,500 automotive gems on display.

While it may not be as massive as January’s Kissimmee extravaganza, this “Summer Special” still packs all the heart-pounding, gavel-banging excitement that Mecum Auctions are famous for.

Let’s take a quick pit stop to reminisce about last year’s record-breaking event.

Mecum’s 2023 Kissimmee auction was a 12-day automotive frenzy that saw a jaw-dropping 4,000 cars cross the block, raking in a staggering $234 million!

The 2023 auction showcased some truly head-turning sales that had car collectors drooling.

2023 top sellers were 1992 Ferrari F40 zoomed off the block for an eye-watering $3.135 million, followed closely by a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that purred its way to $2.97 million. Rounding out the top three was a stunning late 1950s BMW 507 Roadster that cruised to a cool $1.76 million.

This year, Mecum has again carefully curated an all-star lineup of classic cars that run the gamut of both marques and styles. From amped-up hot rods to American Detroit steel to cutting-edge exotic supercars, there is something for everyone.

And of course, no Mecum auction would be complete without a thundering parade of Classic American Muscle cars, ready to flex their horsepower on the auction block.

Whether you’re a die-hard collector or just love the thrill of high-performance machines, this year’s event promises to deliver an unforgettable automotive experience.

“So, Get ready for four days of automotive heaven!”
