Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

[William B.]

Did anyone see this car sell, it is lot S132, and when looking at sale results, it lists no information??

That's very odd, I suspect maybe they pulled it out at the last minute?

I was there and I saw it go through the block. It was hammered sold for 2.6 million.

Sure did:

Gotta wonder why Mecum's site shows it as the only car without info?

Just appeared on NBC Sunday (tape delay) hammered at 2.3M + commission.

Re: Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

Appeared to be a phone bidder too, Dana's son was handling the call. I am still wondering why no info on their site. Could the bidder have backed out?

Re: Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

I think there is some kind of hold up on the sale, phone bidders credit line, possibly? Bet we see something on Monday, after bank transactions are set up.

I think that it was a delay/confuse for the Sunday TV flip - remember NBC has to gauge whether or not their "ratings" are good. Which one of you guys was on the phone?

That stupid delayed hockey game cut my Sunday Mecum coverage to like 30 minutes, they need to improve the coverage.

Maybe I am the one that's been drinkin BUT I saw it sold for ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED. 1956 racer #1 white with blue strips. Phil 8063

Re: Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

Phil, I was there. The "Asking" was 2.4 when the hammer fell, so 2.3 is the correct number.

The 1965 Cobra was hammered at 1.6 right after the '56(un-listed in results but we saw it go off). Maybe that's what you were thinkin' of?

p.s. A friend has a video clip with sound when the #1 came up into the staging area. It'll be available later today.

Re: Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

If you mean 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX3016, lot S154, it is shown in the results, at a high bid of $1.7 million, unsold.

Just looked on Mecum's web site, listed Hemi Cuda for $560k at the high seller. As always, money talks and BS walks

Re: Mecum, real McCoy corvette, Lot S132

I think the whole thing fell through. Too bad for the seller, but he will have another chance before long I bet. I just wonder if a real bidder will get back up north of $2 mil.
