Mecum Glendale 2024 Collector Car Auction Exceeds $54 Million in Sales

942 Vehicles Sold Throughout Five-Day Arizona Auction Event

Mecum Auctions' most recent event at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, March 5-9, saw overall sales totals eclipse $54 million as 942 classic and collector vehicles hammered sold throughout the five-day auction event. Headlined by the $1.815 million sale of a highly awarded L88 Corvette (Lot S143), top sales results at the auction included a variety of American-built favorites from Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge and Cadillac.

Ford dominated top sales, grabbing seats two through five, with a 2021 Ford GT Studio Collection Series (Lot S162) leading the pack. As one of only 20 built and showing a scant 754 miles on its odometer, the Serial No. 3 car achieved a $946,000 sale. A 2005 Ford GT (Lot S83) and a 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GPT Special (Lot S123) followed, selling for $440,000 each, and a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback (Lot S154) rounded out the group, bringing $363,000.

Star-studded sales were also a main part of the Arizona excitement, with a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado (Lot F182) once owned by the King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis Presley causing a buzz among bidders and resulting in an astonishing $253,000 sale after an energetic round of bidding. Another strong sale with ties to American history royalty was the presidential limousine that served then-First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The 1964 Imperial Crown Ghia (Lot S149) is one of just 10 produced, and with a well-documented background including photos of the car as a presidential chauffeur, it ultimately sold for an impressive $181,500.
