The countdown is on to Mecum Houston 2025! An estimated 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles will cross the block at H-town's NRG Center from April 3-5th. Last year's auction netted $29.4 million in sales. New this year, you can catch the action Friday and Saturday live from 12-6pm CT on ESPN+, thanks to a new multi-year partnership with the world’s No. 1 sports streaming platform. 

Mecum Houston 2025 Highlights

Mecum Houston highlights include some real beauties, like a gorgeous 1971 Chevrolet Corvette LS6 Convertible (Lot S180), one of just 188 produced. It's equipped with a 454/425 HP V-8 engine and is finished in Steel Cities Gray. A contrastingly custom Corvette from 1980 (Lot F246) will also be offered, this one showing off an exceptionally unique body shape and No. 5 roundels for a race-car appeal. A rare 4-speed V-Code 1970 Plymouth Superbird (Lot S212) from The Scott Lougheed Collection will be offered at no reserve, as will a 1929 Ford Model A Town Sedan (Lot S217).
