Went to the Mecum Auction in Dallas last week with my son. 1500 cars! Lots of cool Mopars. Prices were high. The orange Superbird went for $320K. The Daytona went for $440k. Incredible prices!
Anything an average schmuck could afford?
I’m a pretty average schmuck & there wasn’t much I thought was reasonable. We went on the last two days so we missed the cheaper stuff on the first two days. Not much Mopar at these auctions.
I get in for free but never go.I never go to the California one.Im not allowed thereThis the first auction I have been to in Dallas. I have been to several in Kansas City.
In Kansas City, there are a lot more spectators than bidders. It was just the opposite in Dallas. There were a lot of bidders & few spectators. Bidders get the tables & close seats. However anyone can stand up front near the entrance and exits to the stage. Many bidders sit in the same stands as the spectators.
Bidder pass is $200. If you want to sit right up front & get free drinks, it costs $500.
Spectator pass is $20 a day. I think it is about the most fun you can have for $20. We walk around and look at cars until we get tired, then watch the auction. I am going to buy or sell something there one day…….
