Fall means Mecum Auctions is headed back to Dallas. Mecum Dallas returns to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center next week from Sept. 8-11. Mecum says it expects an estimated 1,000 American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, trucks, exotics, customs, Resto Mods and more to cross the auction block.
Mecums' annual Dallas auction dates back to 2011. The auction house calls the Texas market a "consistently strong and welcoming one year after year." For 2021, Mecum says the lineup boasts a heavy concentration of classic American muscle.
Highlights
Highlights this year include a 3,645-mile 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro with its original Daytona Yellow paint, sheet metal and interior that’s been owned by the same family for 45 years. There is also a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback showing KK No. 2274 and sporting a 429/375 HP V-8 engine and 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission.

A 1966 RCR Ford GT40 Replica is one of six built by RCR for use in the award-winning film “Ford v Ferrari.” Powered by a 5.7L V-8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission, the vehicle was nicknamed the “Dan Gurney Car” since it was the No. 3 car used in the Le Mans race scenes.
