If you caught our coverage on Thursday, you already know that Mecum’s Monterey 2025 auction brought some serious heat with six cars selling for over a million dollars, led by a Verde Miura that commanded $1.98 million. Since then, Mecum has now finalized more post-block deals, pushing the total to $45 million in overall sales across 500 classic vehicles, which also included 100 vintage motorcycles.
Mecum also reported record attendance at its Monterey sale on the Peninsula this year, which is no small feat, given the week's packed schedule of competing auctions, whose results we have also compiled as part of our extensive coverage.
There was plenty to see: alongside the aforementioned Verde Miura, Mercedes’ finest made their mark with a 1957 300SL Gullwing at $1.65 million and a 1959 300SL Roadster at $1.485 million. Stateside icons also broke the million-dollar barrier, including a 1932 Duesenberg Model J Dual Cowl Phaeton with LaGrande-style coachwork and Bobby Allison’s 1969 Dodge Daytona NASCAR, each going for $1.32 million.
A trend that we saw across most auction houses at Monterey, modern collectibles also broke into the top 10 sales at Mecum this year, with a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition with Gulf livery and only 377 miles, hitting $891,000. Ferrari’s hybrid flagship, the 2025 SF90 Spider, crossed the block for $715,000. Even track-bred specials like the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition and the 2024 Porsche 911 S/T brought in over $675,000, showing strong demand across eras and rounding up the top 10.
Now, not every big Ferrari sale happened under the spotlight. Mecum closed three notable deals through its Bid Goes On department: 1971 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider, 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Touring Barchetta, and 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4. As previously mentioned, two-wheels were also part of the action as a 1910 Harley-Davidson 6-A Single brought $115,500, and a 1974 Kawasaki Z1A 900 set a world record for the brand at $82,500. While Mecum has long sold motorcycles, these results confirm bidders are now also increasingly chasing vintage bikes alongside blue-chip cars.
Mecum also used Monterey to tease what might become the company’s biggest sale yet: the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO “Bianco Speciale” (chassis 3729GT), which we touched upon in the weeks leading up to Car Week. This is the only 250 GTO ever built in white. It was not on the docket but was on display to promote Mecum’s 2026 Kissimmee auction and a reminder that Mecum is positioning itself as a serious player far beyond American muscle.
Beyond the auctions, at Pebble Beach, on Sunday, Dana and Patti Mecum’s 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Zweisitzer won 1st in Class and even earned a Best in Show nomination. That recognition underscores Mecum’s place in the collector community, not just as an auction house but as a family with skin in the game.
Mecum now turns its attention to Larry’s Legacy Auction in Chicago, where the entire Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum more than 275 vehicles, plus thousands of pieces of Road Art, will cross the block in September.
