Don Fezell collection

Jim Caughlin · 01-19-2017, 07:35 PM

I was out of town so didn't get to watch any of the Mecum auction. Does anyone have a rundown on the sales prices on his cars? That had to be the most impressive collection of cars that has ever been assembled, I hope they all went to good homes.

No specifics but he topped out over $3.25 million.

I was there selling one of our cars and walked around looking at his collection, it was impressive to say the least, I saw that most of them sold, but for a little less than what was projected. Now he can take the $$$ and invest it in his FS/XX cobra jet and be the first in 7's....... LOL

Might just jump straight into the 6's. Was he the first in the 8's?

Yes Bill, I think he was. It was at Z-max in '12 or '13

Daddy Warbucks Cobra Jet went for $245,000 if memory serves me correct. Quite awesome stuff.

Got an email from Mecum that two SS/AH will be auctioned off at Mecum Los Angeles as well
