Mecum Pics
 
I just got home and I can honestly say that was the Best Dana Mecum Auction ever...what a great venue. Hope it stays in Indy, lasts and grows. Very well organized. Congrats Mecum.

Everyone is going to put in there 2 cents about the Christenholz Collections....and here is mine.

I think we all agree that we are in the midst of a poor and struggling economy....in one that most of us can only dream about owning such a stunning and beautiful collection.

I had the privledge to visit Dave`s collection a few years ago. Dave and his wife are great people....and this was in my opinion one of the Best Collections in the World. Dave, enjoy the fond memories and your newest endevours of your famous collection that will remain world famous.

$4.9 million plus $701K for the sign collection...Dave and Mecum https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Now here are some pics of the show.

Great L78 Chevelle Rag Top. It is the only one I know of with 4.10 gears https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

I don't think many people ordered an L-78 Chevelle with a 4:10 rearend in 1970,regardless of bodystyle & that includes Elcaminos.Maybe it only being available for the first 90 days of production had something to do with it..
The majority of them seem to have been built with a 3:55,either open or closed.
So far I've only been able to find 3 real L-78/4:10 convertibles and 8 real L-78/4:10 hardtops,as compared to 211 L-78's of both bodystyles,including Elcamino that all received a 3:55 ratio that year.
The three 4:10 convertibles are manual trans.,and only two of the 4:10 hardtops are auto. trans.

O.K. I may be a little partial here.....but the best deal of the auction was this mostly original L78 1969 Chevelle. Did not have the original engine. I can only hope that the new owner keeps this car as is. Sold for $44K
