Porsche 718 RSK Highlights 4000-lot Mecum Kissimmee Sale

 VR Staff

Last year, at the close of the most successful World’s Largest Collector Car Auction® in history, Dana Mecum declared that Mecum Kissimmee 2023 would play host to a record-setting 4,000 vehicles. Slated for a January 4-15 return to Osceola Heritage Park, Mecum Kissimmee 2023 has officially reached that goal with the consignment of its 4,000th vehicle: a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback (Lot F158.1).

1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback (Lot F158.1)

From the original auction in 2004 that took place beneath a single tent and reached just $4 million in total sales, the annual Mecum Kissimmee auction has grown to consume all available acres at Osceola Heritage Park and, in 2022, achieved a world-record $217 million in sales to become the first-ever live collector car auction to exceed $200 million. The auction also set a company single-day record of $72 million on Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022.

1966 Shelby 427 Cobra Roadster, CSX3270 (Lot F177)

More than 30 private collections comprising 530-plus vehicles—more than 430 of which will be offered at no reserve—plus 1,200 lots of Road Art are currently consigned to Mecum Kissimmee 2023. Noted consignments from The Rick Grant III Estate Collection include a 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Centerseat (Lot K151.1), 1959 BMW 507 Roadster (Lot K147) and a 1965 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster, CSX2516 (Lot K145), to name a few. The 50-lot collection includes a variety of well-preserved classic sports cars from Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Austin-Healey, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Bugatti and more.

More than 40 motorcycles are currently consigned for Kissimmee, including a group of newly imported European models seldom seen in the U.S. Headlining the diverse selection of vintage and collector motorcycles is a rare and desirable 1926 BMW R42 Twin (Lot F34) and an even rarer 1922 Brough Superior Mark I 90 Bore (Lot S172).
