While final tallies continue through Mecum’s “Bid Goes On” program, the auction house confirmed multiple seven-figure results. A 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S in striking Verde Miura/Pistachio led the pack at $1.98 million. Two Mercedes-Benz 300SLs followed closely: a 1957 Gullwing at $1.65 million and a 1959 Roadster at $1.485 million.
American classics also commanded attention. A 1932 Duesenberg Model J Sweep Panel Dual Cowl Phaeton with LaGrande-style coachwork sold for $1.32 million, matched by a 1969 Dodge Hemi Daytona once piloted by NASCAR Hall of Famer Bobby Allison. Meanwhile, a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight crossed the million-dollar threshold at $1.045 million.
Motorcycles added their own highlights, led by a 1910 Harley-Davidson 6-A Single at $115,500. Mecum also set a world record for Kawasaki with the $82,500 sale of a 1974 Z1A 900.
Beyond the sales, Mecum drew attention with its display of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO known as “Bianco Speciale,” the only example finished in white. The car previewed its headline role in Mecum’s 2026 Kissimmee auction, anticipated as one of the most significant consignments in years.
The week concluded with a personal triumph for Mecum’s leadership. At the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Dana and Patti Mecum’s 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Zweisitzer earned First in Class and a Best in Show nomination.
The $45 million result reinforces Mecum’s standing as a key player during Monterey Car Week, underscoring strong demand across collector markets.
