Mecum Indy Spring Classic To Feature 28 Collections & 2,500 Vehicles

Mecum Auctions is set to take over the Indiana State Fairgrounds for Dana Mecum’s 39th Original Spring Classic, May 8–16, with an estimated 2,500 vehicles slated to cross the block, including 28 private collections. Headlining the Indy auction is The M Group Collection, featuring exceptionally high-end examples of both rare European exotics and iconic American muscle, auction officials stated in a press release. The auction will stream live on ESPN+ Wednesday, May 13, through Saturday, May 16, starting daily at noon Eastern. The entire auction, from start to finish, will be available for viewing via the Live Block Cam on Mecum’s website.

The M Group Collection – 41 Rare Vehicles Selling at No Reserve

The M Group Collection is an assembly of 41 rare, high-performance vehicles, spanning European sports cars, American muscle and modern hypercars. The entire collection will sell at no reserve, with the exception of a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, which is the last Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder built. Other highlights from the collection include a one-of-30 1995 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport, a Sassy Grass Green 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Coupe and a one-of-213 1991 Ferrari F40. The entire collection will cross the block on the final day of Mecum Indy, Saturday, May 16.

Alongside the M Group, other main attractions include a pair of Ferraris—one 2003 Enzo and a 2014 LaFerrari, with both selling at no reserve—and a selection of American muscle in the form of a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 that stands as No. 2 of 69 built, a one-of-59 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger R/T SE, and a trio of original and unrestored 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupes that form The Exemplar Collection. Also heading to Indy is Serial No. 01 of a limited-production run of 25 cars dubbed the “Eleanor: Gone Again” series, a custom-built 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback that was constructed by the same visionary team that created the original movie-screen icon for “Gone in 60 Seconds.”

Rare & Low-Production Models Round Out the Lineup

Another segment of vehicles headed for the Indy auction block is rare and low-production models, such as a one-of-82 1965 Chevrolet Impala Wagon and a one-of-five V-code 4-speed 1971 Plymouth Cuda Convertible. Others include a one-of-three 1970 Shelby GT500 Convertible finished in Grabber Orange and a 2020 Ford GT Carbon Series, which is one of 50 produced.

Along with low-production vehicles, there are plenty of low-mileage examples in the lineup as well, including a 1975 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible showing 110 miles, a 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10 Roadster displaying only 29 miles, and a 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano showing just 1,900 miles on the odometer.

Among the 28 collections heading for Mecum Indy is The Apex Collection, which is stacked with significant Corvettes, Shelbys, Chevelles and more. Led by a 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra Roadster, the collection even encompasses European favorites from Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari and beyond.
