  • Crashed 1987 Porsche 959 heads to auction

    A Porsche 959 is worth more than a million dollars in today's classic car market. How much is someone willing to pay for one that's been in an accident? The answer is $467,500 as a banged-up example crossed the Mecum auction block during Monterey Car Week over the weekend. The auction house estimated the car to fetch between $450,000 and $550,000. Oddly, the listing for this 1987 Porsche 959 didn't even mention the significant damage shown on the front of the car. Instead it touted the 444-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbocharged engine and the 3.6-second 0-60 mph time. That's going to be...

  • 2017 Ford GT for sale at Mecum Auctions

    Ford has been very particular about who can and cannot purchase a second-generation Ford GT, and how long owners must hang onto the car before it trades hands. Such scrutinizing conditions has us wondering why there's a new Ford GT heading to auction at Mecum Indianapolis this week. Ford has previously given the OK to auction sales for charity, but private owners sending their car to auction is a big no-no in Ford's eyes. Recall, John Cena found himself in a web of legal trouble after Ford alleged the actor was flipping his 2017 GT. Per Cena's contract, he agreed to not sell the car for two...
