LAST YEARS HARRISBURG SUMMARY RESULTS
Mecum’s momentum started with the highest-grossing collector car auction ever held in Kissimmee, Florida, in January and continued with the recent Harrisburg, Pennsylvania auction, held from July 27-30.
The Harrisburg event saw a staggering $40 million in overall sales, marking a nearly 30% increase over the 2019 Harrisburg record of $31 million. The four-day event was a magnet for car enthusiasts, with massive crowds and an impressive 81% sell-through rate, resulting in 863 vehicles sold.
The auction was topped by a 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series (Lot S168.1), which fetched a hefty $473,000. It was closely followed by a 1985 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S (Lot S130.1) at $467,500. A 14-mile 1977 Pontiac Trans Am SE (Lot S132.1) also made waves, securing the third-highest sale price at $440,000.
This “Miami Vice Special” 1985 White Lamborghini Countach LP5000S brought $467,500 in Mecum’s Last Auction
Corvettes dominated the top 10 sellers list, claiming six spots. The highest-selling Corvette was a 1953 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster (Lot S105.1), which sold for $407,000. Other notable Corvettes included two convertibles from 1967 and 1958 (Lot S155 and S103.1), two 2019 ZR1 coupes (Lot S200 and F122.1), and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe (Lot S57).
Rounding out the top 10 was a 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible (Lot S163.1), which sold for $236,500.
As you can see, the past auction results underscore Mecum Auctions’ continued success and the growing interest in collector cars. This year’s Harrisburg Auction 2023 should be just as impressive.
