In this On the Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman dive into the results of Mecum Glendale. The high seller of the five-day auction was a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe which sold for $1,815,000. Painted Sunfire Yellow, the classic sports car was one of 20 L88 Corvettes produced that year and the only Duntov and Triple Diamond-awarded 1967 L88 still equipped with its original engine. John shares his surprise about a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado that was bought new by Elvis Presley. The Caddy was used by the King and Priscilla at their Beverly Hills, California, home until 1973. It sold at the auction for $253,000. Matt also shares his memorable Glendale moments including the sale of the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GPT Special. The one-of-a-kind custom, featured at the SEMA Show and in the "Furious 7" movie, sold for $440,000.
Next the guys turn their attention to the upcoming Mecum Houston auction, to be held April 4-6. John’s standout consignment is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible equipped with a 427 CI V-8 and a 4-speed manual transmission. Matt’s pick is one of the collections: the Plendl Brothers Bowtie Classics. This group of 25 black Chevrolet classics are selling at no reserve with many showing ultra-low miles.
Wrapping up, Matt and John discuss the latest Dodge news, detailing the next-generation 2024 Charger. The all-new muscle car comes with both an electric powertrain along with an internal-combustion engine option and will be available in both two- and four-door body styles.
