Magnificent and serene Kansas City, Mo., turns into a car collector’s paradise twice a year when Mecum Auctions comes to town. Last weekend, April 25-27, the Kansas City Convention Center was transformed into that dream location with 735 cars spread across the gleaming floor of beautiful Bartle Hall. With 446 cars selling over the three-day period for a 61 percent sell-through rate, the enduring auction brought a strong $9.6 million total.
The top sale at the Kansas City auction was a Historic Mount Vernon, N.Y., Ahrens-Fox BT piston pumper fire truck (Lot S201), which hammered at $125,000. The fully restored truck may be the finest example remaining of the small group of nine that were manufactured. The second top spot on the top ten list was nabbed by a bold, Tropical Turquoise 1958 Chevrolet Impala Convertible that was the subject of a frame-off restoration and features a continental kit with a 348 CI Turbo-Thrust V-8 power plant. The car, which crossed the block as Lot S116, sold for a healthy $112,500.

As the original, largest and best muscle car auction in the world, Dana Mecum’s 26th Original Spring Classic has established itself as the premier venue for all things muscle and consequently the perfect place for the U.S. Postal Service to highlight its five new limited edition stamps featuring iconic muscle cars. The stamps will be featured on display and be available for purchase throughout the entirety of the Indianapolis auction this May 14-19 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Surrounded by the tens of thousands of muscle car enthusiasts that attend the auction each year, the Postal Service will celebrate the raw power of the American performance vehicle at the Spring Classic event with two stations where the stamp collections will be featured. Available in everything from uncut press sheets for framing to envelopes with affixed prints, the highly collectible stamps feature the 1966 Pontiac GTO, the 1967 Shelby GT500, the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, the 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda and the 1970 Chevelle SS. Not surprisingly, Mecum’s Indy auction lineup is already flush with several representative examples of each of these five iconic muscle machines.
“The Muscle Cars stamps celebrate an exciting era in American automotive history,” said Greater Indiana District Manager Bernice Grant. “Typically equipped with big, powerful engines, these high-performance vehicles first roared onto our roads in the 1960s.”
The Muscle Cars Forever stamps are the third issuance in the America on the Move stamp series. The artwork was created by Tom Fritz of Newbury Park, Calif., under the art direction of Carl T. Herrman of North Las Vegas, Nev. The Muscle Cars stamps are being issued as Forever stamps in self-adhesive sheets of 20 (four of each design).
The U.S. Postal Service’s stamp stations will be open each day of the six-day auction. Customers may view the America on the Move: Muscle Cars Forever stamps as well as many of this year’s other stamps on Facebook at facebook.com/USPSStamps, on Twitter @USPSstamps or on the website “Beyond the Perf” at beyondtheperf.com/2013-preview – the Postal Service’s online site for information on upcoming stamp subjects, first-day-of-issue events and other philatelic news.
Thirty-two hours of Mecum’s Indianapolis auction will be broadcast live on Discovery’s Velocity Network with the entire auction streaming live on Mecum’s website at www.mecum.com. The Indy auction is open to buyers, sellers and spectators. Gates open at 8 a.m. each day and general admission can be purchased at the door for $20 per person; children 12 and younger will be admitted at no cost.

Mecum’s third annual Spring Gone Farmin’ vintage tractor auction held April 5-6 at the Mississippi Valley Fair Center in Davenport, Iowa, proved to be one for the books with more than 470 lots of tractors and vintage farm signs and relics crossing the block – some dating back to the early 1900s. The auction brought something for everyone and in-turn achieved an astonishing 94 percent sell-through rate and total sales reached $1.2 million.
The relaxed atmosphere of the event coupled with the excitement of the auction drew a crowd of bidders and onlookers that included everyone from dedicated collectors to families enjoying an afternoon infused with America’s rich agricultural history.
The top sale of the two-day auction was a 1959 John Deere 430s All Fuel (Lot S48) bringing in a generous $51,000. Discovered in Chihuahua, Mexico, the fully-restored tractor is one of only 18 built, most of which were exported out of the country. The second highest sale at $36,000 went to a one-of-a-kind 1920 Samson Cane M tractor (Lot S55) that has been the feature of magazines and television shows as what is thought to be the first high crop tractor ever manufactured.
The complete top 10 sales list includes (all sales reflect hammer prices):
1. 1959 John Deere 430s All Fuel (Lot S48) at $51,000
2. 1920 Samson Cane M (Lot S55) at $36,000

The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™ Attracts Nearly 55,000 Attendees Despite Weather Concerns, Reports Strong Sales Signifying that Collector Car Market is on Steady Incline
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS:
- More than $21 million in gross sales – An increase over 2012 sales
- Nearly 55,000 car fans in attendance
- More than $1.8 million raised for charity
Scottsdale, Ariz. – (April 9, 2013) – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions™, announced today that it generated more than $21 million in gross sales of rare, high-end collectible vehicles, exotics, customs, classics, hot rods and resto-mods, during its 11th Annual Palm Beach auction, held April 4-6, 2013 at the South Florida Fairgrounds.
Despite severe thunderstorms, more than 55,000 car fans were in attendance to witness the comprehensive lineup of cars at the renowned auction and lifestyle experience. It was clear from the cheers of the standing-room only crowd and the final sales prices that the collector car market is continuing at a steady incline and that Barrett-Jackson retains its stronghold within the hobby.
In fact, certain market segment sales were on-par with those from pre-recession 2007. Specifically, American muscle car sales were strong overall, as exampled by Lot #713 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS6 2-Door Coupe selling for $148,500, Lot #713.1 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 2-Door Coupe selling for $165,000 and Lot #739 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Custom 2 Door Coupe, which was built by Hendrick Motorsports for country superstar Brad Paisley. Several late European Sports Cars also crossed the block and did exceptionally well. In an effort to attract new collectors to the hobby, Barrett-Jackson also offered by design, an introductory auction on Thursday, for those who still wanted to get a piece of the action with a quality lineup of cars.
Top five individual sales at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction included:
- Lot #3004 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible – $1,000,000
- Lot #3006 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch Super Crew Pickup – $350,000
- Lot #762 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible – $330,000
- Lot #772 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible – $275,000
- Lot #767 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 Convertible – $258,500
Unique sales included the first production 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible (Lot #3004), which sold for $1 Million to Rick Hendrick, the NASCAR team owner who also took home the first production coupe at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January. Proceeds of the sale benefitted the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.
“We kicked off the year strong in Scottsdale and are thrilled that our 11th year at Palm Beach has kept that momentum going,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman and CEO, Barrett-Jackson. “We were able to offer a unique lineup of rare, high-end automobiles that helped to bring out an enthusiastic crowd and we are proud to see that the collector car hobby is going strong. We’re very pleased with the event’s overall results.”
Adding to the excitement was the attendance of several celebrities and VIPs, many of who sold personal vehicles at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach. Pop sensation Rob Van Winkle, formerly known as “Vanilla Ice”, was seen enjoying himself inside the auction tent, alongside actor James Marsden, Charles Walsh, Partner in the Chicago Bulls and White Sox sports teams. Ford Motor Company’s Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields, American Le Mans Series driver Ron Fellows and NHRA Top Fuel Champion Joe Amato also enjoyed watching cars cross the auction block. In addition to selling a car, Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Reggie Wayne was seen actively bidding with his family standing by his side.
In addition, former General Motors’ Vice President and current Chief Executive Officer of Hendrick Automotive Group Jim Perkins enjoyed watching the event, as did Wayne Huizenga Jr., businessman and former owner of the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, Florida Panthers and the current owner of Rybovich Super Yacht Marina and Refit. Huizenga shared an emotional moment with his wife Fonda on stage, as the couple sold Lot #768 1968 Shelby GT500 E Continuation Fastback for $148,500, which was a cherished anniversary gift Fonda had given to her husband years earlier.
Barrett-Jackson also helped raise more than $1.8 million for local and national charitable organizations. Six charitable vehicles were sold during the auction, including the 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch Super Crew Pickup (Lot #3006) once owned by former President George W. Bush. The truck sold for $350,000, with proceeds benefitting the National Guard Youth Foundation.
“We’re grateful for the opportunity to help raise money for these wonderful charitable organizations and we are so proud of the contributions by our sponsors, fans, bidders, consignors and other supporters,” said Barrett-Jackson President, Steve Davis. “We’re now looking ahead to our next auction, the inaugural Hot August Nights Auction Presented by Barrett-Jackson and we couldn’t be more excited.”
SPEED and FOX Sports Networks broadcasted more than 18 hours of live, high-definition TV coverage of the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction.
