Mecum Auctions is preparing to return to the Fairplex in Pomona, California, February 16-17 for its Los Angeles 2018 auction, which will feature approximately 600 American muscle cars, classics, Corvettes, exotics, Hot Rods, Resto Mods and more.
Heading the docket will be a pair of investment-grade, ultra-high-performance sports cars, a 2018 Bugatti Chiron is one of just 70 produced for 2018, and one of only 500 to be produced during the model’s planned seven-year run that began in 2016. A 2015 McLaren 650S Spider — an Elite Pearl White car accentuated by an array of performance and cosmetic upgrades — will join the Bugatti as a main-attraction offering.
Also in the lineup will be the Donald O. Preston Collection of 10 vehicles to be offered entirely at no reserve. Within the collection are three versions of Chevrolet’s ‘50s classic, the Bel Air, in convertible, hardtop and Beauvillle Wagon form, as well as a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am and a 1956 Oldsmobile 88. Other auction consignments include a 4-speed 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (above, Theo-Graphics photo courtesy of Mecum Auctions) and a Roman Red-on-red 1962 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Hardtop restored first in 1991 and again in 2001. Never shown, the rare Super Sport features its original dual-quad 409/409 HP engine with an Isky camshaft, as well as its original T-10 aluminum 4-speed transmission and a Positraction rear end with 3.36:1 gears.
