Ford GT Tops Mecum LA Auction

Mecum’s Los Angeles 2018 collector-car auction, held this past weekend at the L.A. County Fairplex in Pomona, California, achieved $9 million in overall sales, with the top 10 highest sellers heavily populated by modern supercars and a handful of classic beauties.

A 2006 Ford GT in white with blue racing stripes topped all sales at $327,250, followed by a menacing matte-black 2016 Lamborghini Huracan boasting a Vorsteiner Novara Kit that brought $236,500. One of just 36 built with the dual-quad 354 Hemi engine, a rare and largely unheard of 1958 Facel Vega FV4 Typhoon came in as the auction’s third-highest seller at $214,500. Other top sellers included two Ferrari California Spyders, a 1959 Porsche 356, an Aston Martin Vanquish and a 1968 Shelby GT350 Fastback.

On the Road Art side, the actual neon sign that hung over the Harley-Davidson visitor/employee entrance at the Milwaukee factory was offered for sale, and strong bidding lifted the final sale price to a healthy $88,500.
