Top 10 Muscle Cars From Mecum Harrisburg: Big Bids Fetch Over $1.4M!
Mecum Auctions' Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, summer event is always a strong one for traditional muscle cars, and with over 1,300 lots offered for bid during this year’s July 24–27 event, it was one to watch. We had taken interest in a few of these lots prior to the auction and we’ll start by reporting that the colonnade-style A-body 1973 Pontiac GTO we featured sold for $30,800 (against a Hagerty valuation of $27,800) and the pristine 1986 Ford Mustang we longed for sold for $31,900. By contrast, the 1957 Studebaker Gold Hawk Custom Roadster street rod we gushed over failed to meet reserve with a high bid of $40,000. We’ve always liked cars off the beaten path, but when it comes to those that will demand the biggest bucks, it is the star-powered classics from the 1960s that drive the bids high. In line with this, the top 10 muscle cars that successfully met the hammer included three 1969 Camaros (you probably didn’t see that coming), two Pontiac GTOs, two Plymouths, a Dodge, one Merc, and a Shelby Mustang. Beginning with number 10, let’s dig in!
