Two Ford Sports (Muscle) Cars, Old and New, Tie as Top Sellers at Mecum Auction
In a classic case of vintage vs modern, a pair of performance Fords — a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 fastback and a 2006 Ford GT — tied for highest sellers at Mecum’s Las Vegas auction held last weekend.
Each of the desirable sports cars went for $253,000 (all results include auction fees) in the 2-day event that resulted in a $13 million total with 316 vehicles going to new owners for a 73 percent sell-through rate.
The Shelby is a matching-numbers car powered by a dual-quad 428 Police Interceptor engine, while the GT presented as nearly new, having been driven just 9,581-miles.
