Classic Cars That Did Not Sell at Mecum Auctions Kissimmee 2024 

Nice cars. Prices ridiculous. The bigger fool left town

The infamous 56’ Impala should be worth millions. Considering the first Impala was a 58’.

Thanks for posting and the numbers added were enjoyable also. Couple of those looked like the seller might have been a little proud. Nice videos of the Florida sale. Thanks again.

just a bunch of way overpriced cars.

A family friend bought a Chevelle off a guy that bought it through Mecum's a couple years ago, he paid nearly 60,000 for it, he had shipped and upon getting it home home and putting it on a lift and inspecting it, it was obviously a poorly done quickie resto to re-sell/flip at Auctions such as Mecums, it had a lot of rust repairs that were poorly done, it was falsely represented as a rust free/straight untouched body. You gotta be careful of what you buy, a lot of shitty people out there out to make a quick buck

In the car business, there's a saying. "You've got a firm grip on that car." Seems like more than a few people figured out that the market doesn't care how much you have in a car or what you think it's worth.

Excellent well done video I really enjoyed watching that and especially the numbers I am very surprised that the owners did not accept the high bid on many of the vehicles they have an overinflated opinion of the market and what they have but if they keep trying and eventually they'll come down to earth and reality what are sold cars we called that the owner is in la la land thanks again

Some fine examples and great video. Cost of restoration doesn’t always equate to value and most of these cars I guessed within 10% of high bid. It’s important to understand it’s not the value of the car. It’s a car an individual connects to and comps that drive prices. In our current climate it’s not the car that’s worth more, it’s the dollar is worth less.

I like how some people complain about classic car prices being ridiculous If they ever built one, they would understand it. Just think a new Ford super duty is over $100,000 now😂😂😂 people are paying $300,000 for a new dodge demon

The music is brutal

Thanks for the video. I appreciate you showing the estimated value and what the high bids were!

That's not a 51 Packard it's a 41.

That was not a 56 impala, it was a 59

Thanks for posting this. Always wondered what did sell and what didn't.

That BYSCANE WITHA 409 BIG BLOCK SHOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING!!

Don't know if it's the same one. But last week at BJ Scottsdale Lot #3003 - #24 2018, Hertz Camaro went for $250K, charity.

Beautiful cars, some of those bids are insultingly low. Nice compilation! TY!

Todays #1 & #2 picks 1956 Black/gray Chevy Nomad - 1934 Ford Roadster. Mistake - White Chevy Impala is a 1960, not a 1956. Thanks for sharing ! 👍

There was a 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible that didn't sell at 200k! It was absolutely beautiful.

BECAUSE THE OWNERS ESTIMATED PRICE IS WAY TOO HIGH, 60-80 THOUSAND FOR A 67 GRAND PRIX CONVT, COME ON MAN, EVEN CORNPOP KNOWS THAT IS INSANE! AND HE WAS A BAD DUDE.

I love how the sellers place a Reserve and don’t get it.. Proves what they have are overpriced. Should not be allowed at an Auction… Delusional Sellers !!! There were some great deals on late model cars and trucks.

Appreciate you doing this.

Probaby regret not taking those bid prices those est are wack.

You sure that Chevy II was a '64? Looked more like a '63 to me, but then maybe the differences are too subtle for my old eyes to see.

Should have taken the bid on that mustang about 100000 more than it's worth

With the exception of a few, I wouldn't be caught dead driving in most of these.

The background music leaves something to be desired

Last one was not a mark 5 Lincoln

They have to be high if they think that custom Mustang is going to go over 200K. Christ, you can probably get a matching numbers Boss 429 for that much money or less. Plus, it looks hideous.

Maybe when someone modifies or restores a car for tons of money, it better be for your own love and not for profit. Maybe the most desirable car is a “driver” where you can enjoy driving it instead of just looking at it.

I want to know how many of these sellers bought high and "invested" too much money modifying or restoring these cars and they're desperate to break even lol

Most custom jobs will never see a ROI

Its only money and these are nice to look at, l just owned every one of these for a moment and didn't cost me a thing

I BOUGHT A 63 RANCHERO FROM MY NEIGHBOR FOR $9K, MY INSURANCE CO, AAAs INSURED IT FOR $35K, NOW THAT'S A REAL DEAL.

Background music is ________ ❗️

All offers were more than I would pay because there’s 10% buyers fee, sales tax, insurance and registration, plus “care and feeding “. I used to have a nice collection. Now I collect art, which I can enjoy IN my house, and the care and feeding is just a nail in the wall.

Been to many auctions. I’d never sell my car at Mecum or Barrett Jackson. Many other better choices like Hagerty, BaT, etc.

Rarity is what should be high dollar such as 4 built 1 of 2 existing. Not 50,000 built and half of these so called muscle car restorations are a rip off. I'm in my 70's and doing a copy of the first new from 1966 prior to visiting sunny southeast Asia. Every system has been refurbished, repaired or replaced, The car is essentially like new with a few minor modern upgrades. Investment around $16K. It will be a daily driver and also pull a vintage Scotty camper a few hundred miles every month. I look at these shiny cars and laugh at the prices. Can you imagine going to a cruise in or show and sitting on the fender eating your lunch off the hood or letting a 4 year old stand on the seat with a big old steering wheel to play with. I do that kind of thing all the time. My previous '48 at a cruise in a little old lady asked to sit in the car and got in the back seat. She got comfortable, closed her eyes and had a beautiful smile on her face. I wonder what she was remembering as a young lady just after WW2 in a car like that. That's what old cars are for.

It would have made a better podcast if the cameraman would't have been dancing around while filming

First money is best money , especially in a crappy economy

Only a ever rich person can paid those pr

I thought the market determined value. Who does the estimating? These prices are always in flux. Maybe those who'd pay those higher valuations missed the auction..

Sellers thinking they're getting estimated value. Better get rid of that old stuff while you still can. The younger generations want a car that doesn't have any oil to change.

People should know you never get out what you put into the build

This is why I prefer Barret Jackson to Mecum. No Reserves Allowed

Just like the custom motor cycle market crash, over priced eye candy that takes heated storage and 24 hour security.

Many of these cars were considered quite ordinary when new, not particularly popular. A new coat of paint doesn't change that, and I'm not sure just being old makes a car collectible. Additionally, there is the market to consider. There was a period in the US where someone made some money, more than they needed, and didn't want to spend on a yacht. So, they added an out-building or a six-car garage and bought up a bunch of cars they drooled over when they were 14, so they could brag and bore other old farts about them. Well, here's the update. Those guys died. The wife sold the house and garage and moved to Florida, putting these buckets up for sale. And she doesn't ever intend to see or deal with them again. The funniest comment here so far is the one that says you don't understand how much money guys will spend into the restoration, or worse, the modification and distortion, of these cars, so they have to be worth more than shown based on the money poured into them. No, that doesn't make them more valuable, it just defines someone's pet money-pit.

Car auctions are a good example of the greater fool theory. GFT means that it doesn't matter what I pay; some greater fool will come along and pay me more.

The music ruined it.

est value.... is what the top bid was/is.

That auction had nobody in the audience who was buying cars not a money area lame auction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is not a 1956 Impala. It is a 1959 Impala.

Anyone buying one of these over priced cars is getting screwed like a tied up dog.

10 seconds of this annoying music was enough…

Way over price. Known way can a guy from the street can afford a cars like that way over price 3:31

I don’t what know what caused these ridiculous prices but I am started to think it is some kind of badge of honor or status symbol to announce/brag you are successful to pay these ridiculous prices. Goes with the ridiculous money spent on some of the car builds you see, don’t get me wrong I love cars but not that much.

Most are way overpriced.

Some of these sellers are delusional.

Used car market is over.

When people get rich they get stupid!

I can’t stand the music

Zero surprise they did not sell. Way over valued for nothing special.

Overpriced garbage….

I can think of a lot better things to spend $100,000 on than a hunk of sheetmetal and plastic.....what a waste!

Thanks for showing these car prices they are dropping like a 17 year old blond

Your choice of music is A$$

It’s amazing how people are starting to wake up and realize these dinosaur Classic cars really aren’t worth anything! Hahaha

AND THE PRICE'S OR NUMBER'S ARE AIR NOBODY BIDDING THE CAR'S THAT GO IN AND OUT FAST 100% AIR BIDDING................
