Mecum auction selling a black muscle car

Mecum will hold an “American Muscle Car” auction for eight days beginning May 12 and ending May 20 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, hammering out over 3,000 highly collectible cars and road art from 16 separate car collectors.

Another rare muscle car classic up for auction is a multi-color 1970 Plymouth Cuda 440 Rapid with a powerful 440/385 HP V-8 and automatic transmission.

The car is one of the four original Plymouth Cuda cars that traveled on the Rapid Transit System Caravan roadshow back in the 1970s. With a black interior and only 967 original miles, Mecum estimates the car will sell for between $500,000 and $750,000.

1970 Plymouth Superbird and 1969 Chevrolet Corvette

Two more classic muscle cars coming to the Mecum Indy Auction are a 1970 Plymouth Superbird in original condition, and a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88/ZL1 Greenwood Race Car called the “Stars and Stripes”

 

Two more muscle cars that stand out are a 1970 Plymouth Superbird and a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88/ZL1 Greenwood Race Car. The first muscle car is a hyper-rare 1970 TorRed Superbird in original condition with only 22,035 miles. Under the hood is a 440/390 HP V-8 powerhouse engine with an automatic transmission (matching serial numbers). Mecum predicts that the Superbird may fetch up to $380,000 at auction.

The second car is a red, white, and blue 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88/ZL1, which broke numerous records in the 1970s. While being driven by Greenwood and Smothers, this all-American painted Corvette won the GT Class at the 1972 Watkins Glen Six Hour Race and set a new GT Speed Record at the Mulsanne Straight back in 1973. The 427/750 HP V-8 engine of the Corvette drives a 4-Speed Manual transmission.

Overall, a majority of the 3,000 classic cars to come under the hammer in the Mecum Indy Auction 2023 will be made up of Corvettes, Chevelle’s, Mustangs, Pontiac Trans Ams, GTOs, Chevrolet Camaros, Shelby Cobras, Plymouth Roadrunners, and Cudas. Other marques will include a good number of new and old Ferraris, Mercedes, and Cadillacs – just to name a few. (View All Cars)
