Re: Mecum auction - Your favorites!
I may be biased, but the Bright Green 69 COPO Camaro from Nickey is still one of my favorites.
That and the B5 Blue 4-speed 440+6 Roadrunner Convertible. And the...and the... Bashton MCACN Managing Member

Re: Mecum auction - Your favorites!
I have always been a fan of the Cobra, so needless to say the Cobra display was number one on my list. Cool to see Colin in the thick of things, including the Coupe.
Others include, Mike Gs Pontiacs and the three #1 '69 Camaros (ZL-1, Yenko and COPO).

Re: Mecum auction - Your favorites!
I was surprised with the lack of interest in the big block Buicks on this weekend anyway. A couple of '70 Stage 1's (couple and convertible) and a '70 GSX. I think the GSX bid to low 60's and the others didn't reach that level.
No big surprise but I thought D. Mecum's Chevelles did well. I see he eventually sold his LS6 Convertible. Looks like the low mile LS6 couple was the only one to go back home with him. How about a '70 Judge for $36,500, seems like one of the better buys.

Re: Mecum auction - Your favorites!
Don's Chevelle did do quite well especially considering what the other LS6's were bringing. Just goes to show what an impecable restoration and sales description can do besides the fact that its rarely seen and appealing color combination did not hurt. Congrats Don though sorry to see it leave the area.

I was told I drove it further than Don, which was from the outside tent to the block! Car had 5.9 miles on the odometer when it sold and it was indeed a sight to see. The workmanship was outstanding, truly like stepping back in time.  And the new owner drove it home to Fort Wayne, (literally)...NOT in a trailer! Bashton MCACN Managing Member
