Mecum, the world’s largest collector car auction company, will return to Portland this June 21-22 for an offering of 500 classic and collector cars at the Portland Expo Center including everything from American muscle cars and Corvettes, to classics, vintage pickup trucks, Hot Rods, Resto Mods and more.
Among the current featured lots set to cross the block in Portland is a Candy Apple Red1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback (Lot S120). Bearing KK No. 1886, the 4-speed car is one of just 857 Boss 429s produced for 1969, this example featuring the Boss 429/375 HP 820-T engine, and the vehicle is presented today following a two-year restoration that included a refinishing in its original color as applied by the factory. Another 4-speed Mustang consigned for auction is a 1969 Mach 1 Fastback (Lot S83) that boasts a matching-numbers S-Code 390 CI V-8 big-block engine and 4-barrel carburetor. The vehicle recently underwent a rotisserie restoration returning it to factory specifications including the correct Winter Blue metallic exterior paint.
Other auction highlights include a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (Lot S98) equipped with a matching-numbers dual-quad 365/300 HP V-8 engine; previously owned by Hall of Fame “Kustomizer” John D’Agostino, the car is one of 1,800 produced in 1967 and today features custom House of Kolor Pearl paint by Hall of Fame artist and painter Art Hims.
