Some of the finest and most luxurious vehicles ever offered at the Mecum Daytime Auction in Monterey, sales measured at $44,335,001 and 387 vehicles changes were achieved in three days of auction acting, Aug. 13-15. Headlined by the jaw-dropping 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S and a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible, the top sales at the auction included seven vehicles that were sold for at least $1 million or higher.

Furthermore, the top 10 sales of the Daytime Auction serve as representation of the variety and the quality of the vehicles. And as we speak for cars, the weekend witnessed both foreign and domestic and vintage and modern models. And the Lambo Miura exceeded its pre-auction high estimate by more than a half-million dollars, just to achieve a bid of $2.3 million. Furthermore, the Hemi Cuda, which also served as a demonstration for its designer John Herlitz, proved itself as a high-quality classic muscle car with a price of $2.25 million.

And the Turbo Carrera Porsche originally ordered by Steve McQueen was expected to break the one-million-dollar barrier and has done it. The vehicle reached almost twice that amount via bidding: $1.95 million.

And there was that sweet low-mileage Corvette collection that did well with 21 of 26 hammering sold by and unrestored 2,299-original-mile 1954 convertible, which reached a total of $275,000. The whole group managed to make a total of $2,563,500 in sales.
