Yes there were some huge p/u trucks there and also some brand new Broncos with huge wheels/tires from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cars that didn't catch our eye back in the day really stand out now, compared to most new cars that for the most part look the same.

Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Great pics of some great looking cars, thanks for posting these. I would love to experience a couple of days at a Mecum Auction, if I had a bucket list that would definitely be on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safire6 Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 This is just the second time I've been at Mecum in the last 5-6 years. I was there for just 6-7 hours but you need at least two days if you want to see most everything. Here's some more pics.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say which was my favorite, there were so many! But lately I really like Ford Torinos. Especially that orange one with the 429 shown in my previous post. But I really like Mopars also, especially Challengers and Daytonas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYLIBUD Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Yea i liked the yellow King Cobra Torino.Just watched the 18 one lot Corvette pace cars sell for $1.25 million dollars.What would someone do with all those?I guess the guy who bought them must have one large garage.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
