Mecum Auctions, host of The World's Largest Collector Car Auction®, will return to State Farm Stadium this March 5-9 for its sixth annual auction in Glendale, Arizona, with an estimated 2,000 classic and collector vehicles and approximately 200 pieces of Road Art® and memorabilia items to be offered.
One of the first 300 Corvettes ever built back in the model's debut year of 1953 will join 26 other examples of 'America's Sports Car' as part of The Utah Corvette Collection, and all are consigned at no reserve. The car is number 129 of the 300 produced and is presented in the correct Polo White with Sportsman Red interior with power supplied by the 235/150 HP Blue Flame Six engine and Powerglide transmission. Other noted units from the collection include a matching-numbers 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06/N03 that is one of 63 Z06/N03 Tankers produced in 1963 and an award-winning 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Big Tank Fuelie that is one of just 41 built and the only known one wearing Tuxedo Black.
A pair of Ferraris presented in majestic Rosso Corsa are also among the headlining lots consigned to the Glendale auction. The first of the pair is a 2003 Ferrari Enzo that is one of 111 imported to the U.S. and one of 400 produced in total; it's Ferrari Classiche certified and will be offered with an accompanying Classiche Red Book. The second is a 1992 Ferrari F40 that is one of only 60 U.S.-spec cars produced in '92 and one of 213 total U.S.-spec cars produced for the F40 run; it wears chassis number 91097 and boasts a matching-numbers engine and gearbox.
For the custom enthusiasts is a two-time SEMA winner and Goodguys Street Machine of the Year winner: a 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GPT Special that was custom built by Rad Rides by Troy for land speed racer George Poteet. It was unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Autorama and later featured in the Universal feature film 'Furious 7' with star Vin Diesel.
A 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R M Spec Nür was imported from Japan to the U.S. in April 2023 and is one of 24 Skyline GT-R M-Spec Nür models with black paint. It was produced during the final evolution of the fifth-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 with a special edition Nür twin-turbocharged 2.6L RB26DETT Inline 6-cylinder engine based on the N1 racing engine, and it also boasts a 6-speed manual transmission and original paint.
