Out of the 638 offered for sale, 389 lots sold for a sell-through rate of 61 percent, and the average sale price was $30,234.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Denver didn\u2019t attract any extreme high-dollar cars, but there was of course a solid showing of American muscle and the top sales were mostly what they were expected to be. A 2012 Lamborghini Aventador took the highest result at $285,000, while a 1969 Ram Air IV Trans Am took a market appropriate $180,000 and a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster took a relatively low $165,000. A 1967 Porsche 911 S Soft Window Targa also got a low result for a very desirable and normally strong-performing model at $130,000. Some of the bigger no-sales included a 1969 Dodge Super Bee that was bid to $150,000 and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird that stalled at $125,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some of the bargains to be found in Denver included a 1955<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=115709\" target=\"_blank\">Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> for $12,500, a<\/span>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=96629\" target=\"_blank\">1969 AMC AMX 390<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> for $23,000 and a<\/span><strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=44846\" target=\"_blank\">1968 Pontiac GTO<\/a><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">for $16,500.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Top 10:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2012 Lamborghini Aventador sold for $285,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1962 Western Pacific 40\u2019 Airstream trailer sold for $200,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=124802\" target=\"_blank\">1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ram Air IV<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">sold for $180,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=77079\" target=\"_blank\">1989 Porsche 911 Speedster<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">sold for $165,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1957 Chevrolet\u00a0 Bel Air custom sold for $160,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=111347\" target=\"_blank\">1967 Shelby GT350 Fastback<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0sold for $150,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1966 Chevrolet Corvette resto mod sold for $135,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=98155\" target=\"_blank\">1967 Porsche 911S Soft Window Targa<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">sold for $130,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=73612\" target=\"_blank\">1970 Pontiac GTO Judge<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>sold for $115,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hagerty.com\/valuationtools\/valuationtools\/HVT\/VehicleSearch\/Report?vbe=16597\" target=\"_blank\">1969 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Hurst<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">sold for $110,000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mecum\u2019s next collector car auction will be in Harrisburg, Pa., on July 30 and Aug. 1, 2015.
