    Mecum Spring Classic brings 2,500 collector cars for auction at Indiana State Fairgrounds​


    "The Ray Evernham collection of 32 race cars headlines Mecum's Indy Spring Classic. Evernham was the longtime crew chief for NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon. They won 47 races and three Cup championships together. Evernham's cars go to the highest bidder on the final day of the nine-day auction.

    Evernham’s collection includes a 1969 Dodge Daytona that was the first stock car to top 200 miles an hour on a closed circuit with Buddy Baker at the wheel at Talladega in March of 1970.
    Perhaps the most valuable car in the collection is Mario Andretti’s IndyCar championship winning car from 1965 and 1966. He also won Rookie of the Year at the Indianapolis 500 in the 1965 Brawner Hawk Ford Dean Van Lines Special. Evernham hopes to get at least $1.6 million for that car."

    On my way home from Southern Plaza Friday I passed by a self serve carwash and I should have stopped and gotten a picture. Outside one of the bays was a Pinto that was obviously set up for the drag strip. Big huge meats on the back, etc.. I did a double take to confirm I was actually seeing what I thought I was. :):

    Ray was a driver in his own right in his youth.

    Sold this ‘78 in Sept ‘18. 42K mileage. 2nd owner. Nice car but lacking HP thanks to
    energy crunch/gov’t mandates.

    ‘82. 3rd owner & and in need of MUCH work when I acquired it. A younger brother owned it when he passed away. He passed in ‘92 and it sat for years. I got my grubby hands on it as a project and what a project it was. Worked on it off and on in spare moments for several years. Always loved the body style and color combo but… Da*m GM’s crossfire and early computer system sucked to the max. Finally got it done. Sold it in Sept. ‘18.

    All old pix. ‘73 originally hated by many Vette guys because of chrome rear bumper and front gov’t mandated 5mph crash resistant front bumper. The beginning of the downward spiral in HP although have over hauled it and it runs pretty good. 113K. Been mostly in storage and for several years. Last time driven was in ‘20. Had plans for it to be my next project but age, medical, etc. has made me change my mind. Coming out of storage this week ( I think ). Little work, detail, etc. then up for sale as is. Pretty much done turning wrenches.

    Had a thing for C3’s but over it. Not classics but…Had an ‘11 C6 Vert for several years. Traded it in February for a ‘17 C7 GS Vert. The C8s do not trip my trigger. Difference going from C3 to C6 was unbelievable. Jump from C6 to C7 blew my mind. I still love the 60’s and 70’s classic muscle cars but man do I LOVE driving my “new” modern toy. And the bonus ( to my body ) is I can’t work on it myself.
