The Mecum Denver 2015 auction was staged June 26-27 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, resulting in $12,003,418 in total sales and a 66% sell-through rate. A total of 396 cars sold at Mecum Auctions’ inaugural Denver-area auction.
“We were excited to bring the Mecum Auction action to the Denver area, and the reception from nearly 14,000 enthusiasts in the Rocky Mountain Region and beyond was overwhelmingly positive,” said Dana Mecum, president and founder of Mecum Auctions. “This auction was an excellent inaugural event with strong sales and consignments coming from 27 states. We look forward to finalizing details on our return to the Denver area in 2016.”
The top result at the Mecum Denver 2015 sale went to a first-year Lamborghini Aventador (Lot S105.1) with 8,459 miles on the clock that hammered for a high bid of $285,000. Demanding a $200,000 sale price was a fully-customized 1962 Western Pacific 40-foot Airstream trailer (Lot S109). The mid-century modern-styled trailer was restored by Timeless Travel Trailers and is believed to be only one of five of its kind left in public possession. Other top sales included a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am Ram IV (Lot S114) that brought $180,000 and a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster (Lot S93) that changed hands for $165,000.
