Mecum Auctions will celebrate its Silver anniversary at Dana Mecum’s 25th Original Spring Classic Auction, scheduled for May 15-20, 2012, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year’s sale will see more than 2,100 vehicles will cross the auction block in Indy.
Dana Mecum commented, “This is what I envisioned my auction to be in the beginning, it took 25 years for everyone else to catch up!”
Held over six days, the 2012 Mecum Original Spring Classic Auction will see collector cars, motorcycles and more displayed in nearly 1 million square feet of buildings and tents during the largest collector car auction in the world. Headline offering include a 1967 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro (Lot S134), one of less than 10 known to exist and the only Butternut Yellow example to have survived, the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 (Lot S165) piloted by the legendary Mickey Thompson at Bonneville, a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Convertible (Lot S188) and the last L88 Corvette (Lot S233) to roll down the assembly line.
On Saturday May 19th, 2012, NHRA drag racing legends Don “The Snake” Prudhomme and “TV” Tommy Ivo will watch their history making dragsters take center stage. Prudhomme will offer the record-breaking 1982 Pontiac Trans Am “Pepsi Challenger” (Lot S182) from his private collection, and the 1974 Streamlined Top Fuel Dragster (Lot S200) piloted and more famously crashed by Tommy Ivo will go up for sale shortly afterwards.
