Re: Mecum Florida
Tom, the turquoise Gibb/Harrell bid to 165 with a reserve north of 200.
Over all I thought the prices were strong with the good cars bringing top dollars and the not so good just sitting there. There appeared to be a lot of pressure on the owners to lower the reserves if the auction company thought they were close, I'm sure at that point they were negotiating lowered selling commissions. The best buy I saw was a 69 HO Z-28 that had been through all the judging at Carlisle and scored 92% sold for $84,000. The car was super nice and very correct. Most all the problems discovered at Carlisle had been corrected. Reserve was $90K but lowered on the block to get the sale.
