Imaugural Mecum auction a success with $9.3 million in sales

(February 23, 2017) WALWORTH, Wis. — Sales totals at Mecum Auctions’ inaugural Los Angeles classic- and collector-car auction climbed to more than $9.3 million when the auction company returned to the Golden State last weekend. Despite record-setting rainfall across Southern California, 283 vehicles were sold over the course of the two-day auction, and more than 116 pieces of Road Art left Pomona in the hands of new owners.

American and European sports cars claimed the top-three seller slots at the auction, with a 2006 Ford GT hammering at $305,000 to claim the title of No. 1 highest seller at the Los Angeles auction. Two Ferraris, a 458 Italia and a 430 Scuderia Spider, rounded out the top 3, each bringing in more than $200,000 individually.
