It was not a quiet weekend for Houston’s Reliant Center as Mecum Auctions brought its second annual classic car auction to the Lone Star state. During the three-day auction held April 4-6, 1,034 cars crossed the block, along with nearly 200 pieces of Road Art and memorabilia.

Hammering at $220,000 and garnering the top sale was a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback with its original drivetrain and interior. Bringing a $185,000 sale and grabbing the second seat on the top 10 sales list was an extremely rare production Cadillac, a 1931 V12 Roadster complete with accessory trunk and rumble seat complementing its distinguished vintage flair.
