(October 16, 2023)  Mecum’s success with its annual Spring Classic collector car auction held each May in Indianapolis inspired the company to introduce a fall-season iteration to further meet customer demand and fan enthusiasm. This first Indy Fall Special auction achieved a total of $19.5 million in total overall sales as 567 vehicles hammered sold in just three days, Oct. 5-7.

Top sales at the auction were led by a 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback that sold for $275,000, followed by other American all-stars like a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Convertible that brought $214,500, a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Custom that sold for $176,000 and a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am that achieved $162,25
