Walworth, Wis --

Mecum Auctions, the world’s largest collector car auction company, closed out the year by setting an all-time sales record at its long-running Kansas City auction, Dec. 2-4. The three-day event saw 85% of all 709 vehicles hammer sold as overall sales totals reached $19.2 million, far exceeding the previous Kansas City auction high of $13 million.

Top-selling vehicles in Kansas City were led by a three-way tie with a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (Lot S117), a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (Lot S151) and a 2021 Ford F150 Shelby Pickup (Lot S198) each demanding a $148,500 sale price.
