(April 15, 2015) The Mecum Houston 2015 auction held this past weekend was a success with 645 vehicles sold of the total 934 offered for a pronounced 70-percent sell-through rate and $25,285,163 in total sales.

With the top 10 sales in Houston populated by a healthy mix of pre-war classics, muscle cars from the Golden Era, as well as representations from several other prominent categories, the cars speak for themselves: the market is thriving and Mecum has them all. With the near-1,000-car lineup, Mecum’s annual Houston auction continues to keep the pulse of the collector-car market and serves as an excellent representation of today’s healthy supply and demand among even the widest array of enthusiasts.

Top sales included a half-million-dollar modified Duesenberg and a $480,000 Plymouth Hemi Superbird.



In addition to those, a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition with just 13 miles on the odometer hammered at $475,000 and a 1906 Packard S Touring, one of just three known to exist, brought $300,000. Two 1969 Boss 429 Fastbacks also gaveled in the top 10 selling for $262,500 and $200,000, respectively, and a highly optioned 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster with just 20,790 miles came in at a strong $225,000.
