The RideTech Crew Heads to the Mecum Auction – Killer Chevelle to Hit the Block


The RideTech Crew Heads to the Mecum Auction – Killer Chevelle to Hit the Block

Our pals at RideTech are headed to the Mecum Auction in Kissimmee, Florida to sell their killer red 1967 Chevelle. Bret has the yearly habit of unloading one killer car to make room for another and this year seems to be no exception. The auction in Florida is one of the biggest in the country and we wouldn’t be surprised if something cool catches Bret’s wandering automotive eye when they boys are there to sell the Chevelle.

Scroll down below to see more photos and the first installment of the RideTech mission to the Florida Mecum auction!

The Ridetech crew is heading off to the Mecum Auction early next week to sell our 1967 Chevelle SS.  The purpose is twofold; we want to find a new home for one of our beautiful, quality cars, AND we want to experience more of the hot rod culture at the auction block!  Last year in January, we sold the Velocity Camaro at the Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale AZ, and the event really captured our attention with the numerous high-end hot rods and nerve-racking auctions.   We hope to have the same experience this year as we sell our Chevelle at the Mecum auction; and to share the fun, we will be reporting from the auction!

The Mecum auction is now celebrating its 25th year in business and is renowned for holding the largest collector-car auction in the world annually in Indianapolis, IN,  with over 2,000 cars.  We will be taking the Chevelle to the Kissimmee, FL auction which will last from January 24th to the 29th.  The event will be televised each day on Discovery’s Velocity channel (see times below).  Our Chevelle is slated to be auctioned off on lot T277 on the 26th around 8:30pm.  (Auction information can be found here).

The auction should be just exciting and fun as it was last year.  So follow along on our facebook page, tune into the discovery channel, and keep reading our emails!
