Huge auction of Chevrolet cars at Mecum Auctions
On the other side of the pond we thought this sale is worthy of mention given the size of a one man collection of GM cars that were sold yesterday continuing today. The collection has been put together by collector, Rick Treworgy who began his collection in the 60s for his museum, Muscle Car City in Florida, but has now decided to retire and thin down his collection.

No reserve bargains at Historics
We suspect the ongoing pandemic and an understandable general reluctance to travel at present led to several of Historics no reserve cars being left with few bidders. There is also an assumed thought process that no reserve cars at auction usually end up with lots of spirited bidding and achieved prices sometimes better than if a big reserve/estimate is placed on the car.
