To date, nearly a dozen private collections have already been consigned for the annual auction event, together comprising nearly 200 vehicles with about 150 to be offered at no reserve. Among the wide-ranging selection is a 2016 Pagani Huayra (Lot R524) consigned From The Jackie and Gary Runyon Collection of more than 30 vehicles and the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 \u201cGulf One\u201d (Lot R384) from The John Justo Collection. The ultra-rare Z06 is the most successful factory-backed production racing Corvette of the C2 era and bears one of only 14 regular-production Corvette serial numbers assigned specifically for competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Kissimmee auction headliners include the 1951 Bob Hirohata Mercury Custom (Lot R542) built by Sam and George Barris, considered by many to be the most famous custom car of the classic era; a 1992 Ferrari F40 (Lot R648) that\u2019s one of 22 produced in the model year and shows just 8,732 miles; a one-of-five 1965 Shelby Factory Stage III Cobra Dragonsnake (Lot R308) that is the only Stage III factory-built customer version; a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertible (R303) that is one of 96 built as a factory 4-speed; and a 2018 Ford GT \u201967 Heritage Edition (Lot R553) with just seven miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKissimmee has grown into the world\u2019s largest collector car auction and is recognized for its selection ranging from entry-level collectibles to multimillion-dollar elite consignments,\u201d Vice President of Consignments Frank Mecum said. \u201cWhat started with 400 consignments has grown into an event that is now 10 days in length with over 3,000 cars to choose from, and we\u2019re looking forward to an even bigger and better Mecum Kissimmee this January.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
