In the 1980s through the late 1990s\, his showroom was a mecca for all manner of postwar Italian autos\, especially Alfas\, Maseratis and historically significant Ferraris. Forristall raced in Vintage both in the U.S. and in Europe\, including in the very first “re-running” of the Pan-American Road Race. \nSteve Forristall Car Collection up for auction at the Mecum Auto auction on April 8-10 2021 \nIn Forristall’s last Vintage race before retiring from the track once again\, he won five out of six flat-out race stages in the big-bore class in the Carrera Road Race. He raced a 1965 Alfa TZ 2 and was on the ramp at Pebble Beach with the car two years in a row. \nForristall’s love of racing extended beyond just the cars\, and he accumulated countless memorabilia items related to the sport throughout his years of life. The entire Road Art assemblage is now slated to cross the Mecum auction block this April at the Mecum Houston Auction taking place April 8-10 at the NRG Center in Houston Texas. \nThe collection features many signed pieces\, including original Buddy Bars and literature items signed by Carroll Shelby\, as well as more than 150 desirable vintage racing posters\, banners\, original racing wheels\, trophies and awards\, a Shelby Racing jacket\, Ferrari salesman samples\, Alfa-brand items and the highlight of the group\, an original “Mallard-Offenhsauser” nose cone from the 1969 Jim Hurtubise Indy 500 “Mallard” Racecar\, and much more. \nSome auction cars include the 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette\,1999 Shelby Series 1 Convertible\, 1966 Ford MustangFastback\,1959 Ford Thunderbird Convertible\, 1957 Chevrolet 210 Wagon\, 1936 Ford Deluxe Phaeton\, 1968 Pontiac GTO\, 2015 Ford Mustang GT 50th Anniversary\, 2004 Cadillac XLR Convertible and 1923 Ford T Bucket \n\nAuction Highlights\n\nDate: April 8-10\, 2021\nVenue: NRG Center Houston\nAddress: 1 NRG Park\, Houston\, TX 77054\nFeatured Car Collection: Steve Forristall Car Collection\nCar Type in action: +1\,000 American muscle cars\, classics\, Corvettes\, exotics\, trucks\, Hot Rods\, Resto Mods and more.\nAdmission: $30 ($20 in advance online)\nPreview: Gates open daily at 8 a.m.\nAuction: Vehicle auction begins daily at 10 a.m.\nTV Schedule on NBC Sports Network: to be announced.\nWebsite: www.mecum.com\nMecum Facebook\nMecum Instagram\nPhone: at 262-275-5050\nHotels Nearby: Hotels\n\n\nAUCTION SCHEDULE\nSELLER’S CHECK-IN\nTuesday and Wednesday\, April 6-7 from 8 AM until 6 PM. \nVehicle Drop-off and Check-in:\nPlease enter through Gate 12 from Stadium Drive.
