McCormick sold more than $5.6 million in collector cars at its 65th Palm Springs Auction earlier this month, the company said in a release.
The actual sales number was $5,602,968. The auction reported a 64 percent sell-through rate.
A numbers-matching 1964 Porsche 356 SC with just 77,000 miles on the odometer and complete with its factory sunroof and six-volt electrical system led the sale. The car fetched $97,125 (prices reported include buyer’s fee).
That was followed by a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette roadster that had undergone a show-quality restoration and came with hard and soft tops. The car –- equipped with a 283cid engine rated at 245 horsepower and a 4-speed manual transmission –- sold for $70,875.
A 1953 Buick Roadmaster convertible was the third-high sale, fetching $65,100. The car has only been driven 6,000 miles since a body-off restoration was completed in 2001.
