The Mecum Dallas 2014 Auction was held September 3-6 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, resulting in $31,428,039 in total sales and a 66.3% sell-through rate. In only its fourth year, Mecum’s Dallas auction has become one of the largest sales on the Mecum Auctions’ calendar with 1,155 cars offered.
The top seller at the 2014 Mecum Dallas sale went to a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible (Lot S108.1) that hammered at $680,000. One of only two 1969 L88 convertibles finished in Black-on-Black, this race car was ordered new by renowned L88 racer Tony DeLorenzo. Following the L88, two Chevrolet Camaros claimed spots two and three in top sales with the first Camaro delivered to Yenko Chevrolet (Lot S114) bringing $300,000 and a Gold Spinner Award-wining 1969 Yenko (Lot S91.1) achieving a sale price of $285,000.
The top 10 was also dominated by Ford GTs, which have become a market favorite in recent years. Three 2005s and one 2006 made the list all hammering at well over a quarter-million dollars.
