-

Mecum Auctions opened its very busy month of October, posting more than $22 million in sales and an 86 percent sell-through rate at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where 508 of the 590 vehicles on the docket were hammered sold.

From Las Vegas, the Mecum crew heads to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for an auction October 15-16 in conjunction with the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, and from there it heads to Chicago for a sale October 21-23.

The top sale in Las Vegas was a 2006 Ford GT that sold for $374,000 (price includes buyer’s fee). 

A pair of licensed Eleanor Tribute Edition Ford Mustangs took second and third places in the auction’s top-10 results, with a 1968 model going for $374,000 and a 1967 edition for $275,000.

American cars dominated the top-10, with the only import making that list being a 2000 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible that brought $151,250.
