2014 Mecum Spring Auction: 5 Classics Worth Drooling Over

By Jeff Perez 2 hours ago



Monday marked the opening of the 27th annual Original Spring Classic auction, held by Mecum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. This yearly event is home to some of the world’s most pristine and prestigious supercars and muscle cars alike.

This year, the event is sure to draw some crowds, and some cash. Everything from Mustangs to Camaros to exotics, the Spring Classic will have it all. In order to kick off one of our favorite events, we thought we’d take a look at some of our favorites. Click the links to see more.
1964 Ford Nazy Crate Thunderbolt



In 1964, Ford brought a new contender into the now-blooming F/X wars — the Ford Fairline Thunderbolt. The high-powered V8 was enough to keep lesser muscle cars at bay, and was limited to only 100 units.
It was later purchased by Tom Caldera and raced by his partner Nate Cohen, to which it gained the name and paint scheme “Nazy Crate,” and garnered fame on numerous publications like Cars Magazine in 1974, and Hemmings in 2008.
Estimated price for this wonderful race machine sits between $275,000 to $325,000.
1973 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia



Originally introduced in 1955, the Karmann Ghia will go down in history as one of the most beautiful classics ever built. Its swooping lines and characteristic hood line are now iconic and part of classic car lore.
With nearly half a million built and sold in Germany alone, it wasn’t exactly scarce. But as time has passed, more and more Karmann Ghia’s have gone missing, making the value of each go up tremendously. There’s no estimated price on this example, but we don’t expect anything less than a high five-figure number when it leaves the door.
1982 Chevrolet Camaro Le Mans Racer



Another racer is headed to the auction block, but this time it’s an American of the French variety.
In 1982, the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans featured a duo of race-bed Camaros sporting numbers 80 and 81. Owned by NASCAR racer Billy Hagan, successful SCCA and IMSA racer Gene Felton was behind the wheel of the number 80 car, while Hagan himself piloted the number 81 to a 2nd in the GTO class and 17th overall.
Hagan, Gene Felton and Terry Labonte even took home an 8th place finish overall at the 1984 12 Hours of Sebring race in Florida. No. 81 is expected to fetch between $175,000 to $250,000.
1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28



Straying away from the racing theme into road cars, this pristine 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 will be taking to the auction block with only 970 original miles.
The car features a standard 305 cubic inch V8, an automatic transmission — and a huge selling point – it’s a one owner vehicle. No estimated price was given.
2005 Ford GT



And last, but certainly not our least favorite, is this 2008 Ford GT.
Originally introduced in 2002 and built for 2005 and 2006, the Ford GT was a homage to the long-lost Ford GT40 racer of the 60s. The 5.4-liter V8 pushes out 550 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
Like the Z/28, this GT is a one-owner vehicle with only 376 original miles driven. Price is estimated between $245,000 to $275,000.
Mecum’s 27th annual spring auction lasts until the 18th.

 

Pretty neat selection of cars, the 91 Z28 would be a nice one to get a hold of. A friend of mine's mother bought one brand new, drove it for 7 years and it only had 22k on it, I tried to buy it from her but she traded it in on a new suv, sad day that was, it was beautiful red with red interior and she babied it.

I would also love to get my hands on the 08 gt

 

My fiance is going on Friday. He might drive a car across the block - he did last year at Indy. The guy he details for has tons of cars and he sell's a couple of them a year and brings them to the Indy auction.

 

Thanks `Ken 4 your post & I also like the Z28, but wish it had a 350 ci & a 4spd....I'm sure it will still go 4 big $'s...
==============================================
Thanks `Amy, will you also be going to the auction ? I would love to go to one (I'd really love 2 `go >if I had the $'s 2 bid & buy)
Space's grandfather goes to them when he's not busy & so does the owner of our company...Maybe they will take me someday or when I hit a big lotto

 

Nope - I have to work so I'm not going. I'm taking off 2 days next week for my MCA show in Springfield IL.

 

Nice Camaro there. I would be curious how much something like that will get. I wouldn't expect it to be too high though...those 3rd gens don't have a lot of value yet.
