Ram Air IV GTO Collection headlines Mecum Kissimmee 2023



(September 12, 2022) WALWORTH, Wis. — With a projected 4,000 vehicle consignments to be offered at the annual live auction event at Osceola Heritage Park in Florida, Mecum Kissimmee 2023 will once again raise the standard for the world’s largest collector car auction featuring a broad selection of American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, exotics, trucks, Hot Rods, customs and more to cross the auction block Jan. 4-15 with live coverage on MotorTrendTV and MotorTrend+.

The 2023 auction lineup is building momentum right out of the gates with The Chuck Cocoma Judge & GTO Ram Air IV Collection joining the roster to kick things off with serious muscle power.

The collection is led by an exceedingly rare Orbit Orange 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge Ram Air IV Convertible and includes a total of six Pontiac GTO Judge Ram Air IVs from the 1969 and 1970 model years among the nine lots that make up the rare muscle-car collection. Also present are a pair of 1970 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IVs and a 1969 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV.

The Ram Air IV option was only offered in 1969 and 1970 and today stands as one of the rarest variations of what is often referred to as the very first muscle car: Pontiac’s venerable GTO.

“Nobody has ever had nine Ram Air IVs in one place at one time and owned all nine,” collector Chuck Cocoma stated. “The most I’ve seen with another collection was two. They’re rare cars.”

Last year’s Mecum Kissimmee auction achieved a record $217 million in sales to become the first-ever live collector car auction to exceed $200 million.
