February 22, 2019, 3 pmSeptember 26, 2015, 11 am by Tom Burkart

Mecum just wrapped up a massive Dallas auction haul — with Ferrari’s and classic musclecars heading up the top ten list below.

But nothing brought out the cash like the stunning Petty’s Garage Ford Mustang GT. The King was on hand for the $535,000 hammer benefitting paralyzed veterans.

The customization is clearly hot as hell. A full blackout and for all the OEM details is matched by a gorgeous blue accent color. The OEM splitter is dipped in this bright blue, as is the full hood and roofline and into the large trunklid spoiler. But just on the upper part of the wedgey wing… from the back it is just all-black and all awesome.

“The King” Richard Petty Adds Mustang Magic To Mecum Dallas Petty’s Garage Custom Mustang Leads Sales at Fifth-Annual Texas Auction

WALWORTH, Wis. – Sept. XX, 2015 – Mecum Auctions’ sale this past weekend in Dallas achieved an overall total of $24,809,893 sold with the auction’s highest hammer price claimed by a 2015 Mustang GT (Lot S148.1) customized by Petty’s Garage and benefiting Paralyzed Veterans of America.

In just four days, 699 cars changed hands at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.

The large and fervent crowd kept energy at a high all weekend and led to strong sales in the Lone Star State. Saturday saw the auction’s highest sales with all top 10 sellers gaveling that day along with the Petty’s Garage Custom Mustang which sold two different times in one day. Presented on the block by seven-time NASCAR champion “The King” Richard Petty, the Mustang first brought a $330,000 sale, with all proceeds benefiting the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) non-profit organization.

The car was then generously donated back to the PVA by its purchaser and sold again an hour later for an additional $205,000, which also went directly to benefit the non-profit for a total of $535,000. Other auction highlights included the emotional sale of a one-owner 1992 Ferrari 512 TR (Lot S222), one of just 378 produced for the U.S. market. The original owner lifted the reserve at $220,000, and a bidding war ensued, climbing in $5,000 increments to a final hammer price of $295,000. Leading all muscle cars, a Candyapple Red 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback (Lot S105) brought a $250,000 high bid. The ‘50s era was well-represented by an Amos Minter-restored factory-supercharged 1957 Ford Thunderbird F-Bird (Lot S114) which demanded $225,000, and a 1969 Dodge Daytona (Lot S97) equipped with a 440 Magnum engine and four-speed transmission rounded out the top five sales gaveling for “This year’s lineup was very diverse with great examples from nearly every category of collectability,” notes Mecum consignment director Frank Mecum. “Whether you were after a Ford or a Ferrari, the Dallas roster was jam-packed.”

The complete top 10 sales at the Mecum Dallas 2015 auction include (all individual sales reflect hammer prices):

We recently tested the 640 horse, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and marveled at its jaw-dropping performance. But there’s another super-hot EV in the Kia/Hyundai family, and it’s the Kia EV6 GT.

2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec Review: Teamwork Makes the EV Dream Work
As the saying goes, what’s old is new again. Case in point: the new Acura ZDX A Spec. It’s not that the vehicle itself is old—it’s more that the way this vehicle came to market. 1996 was a year chock-full of optimism, with Americans everywhere doing the Macarena as they poured their life savings into the can’t-miss investment vehicle known as Beanie Babies. Cheap gas allowed sales of the newly […]
Road Test Review – 2024 Volkswagen GTI 380 – Goodbye Manual, You’ll Be Missed
The Volkswagen GTI (aka Golf GTI if you’re willing to travel back into the past) is a hot hatch that has withstood the ravages of time and has always been one of the few performance vehicles on the market to offer buyers budget-friendly performance and a manual transmission to row through the gears. However, Volkswagen is changing the status quo and confirmed that the 2024 model will be the […]

While Lincoln’s Corsair is technically a compact SUV—it’s based on the similarly compact Ford Escape—thanks to some clever packaging and design tricks, it feels a lot bigger than it actually is. The specific ride you see here is the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring—the one with the plug-in hybrid electric powertrain—and it just so happens to be my ride for the week. It’s deceptively small As is the […]

Lexus is also out to prove that it’s not afraid to […]

It’s incredibly powerful. The numbers are jaw dropping. 641 horsepower and 565 lb. ft. of torque. For those playing at home, the Porsche 911 GT3 serves up (only!) 502 horsepower. It’s incredibly fast. 0-60 mph comes up in 3.2 seconds. That’s about the same as that Porsche 911 GT3! It thinks it’s a gas-powered car.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N review by Ben Lewis
If you’re new to Hyundai, you might have not noticed their “N” division. It’s pretty simple like BMW’s M division (and the watered-down M Sport models), The N is the Korean maker’s high-performance arm. (And like BMW, Hyundai also has an “N-Line” trim that’s sporty, but many levels below a true N). We recently tested a Hyundai Elantra N model and found it exhilarating fun in a small sedan […]

When one looks at the Nissan Rogue, you would be hard-pressed to think that the urban-focused crossover would be a good tool of choice for serious trail running.

That includes the off-road market with the Rock Creek moniker serving as the bridge […]

It can be hard to believe that the Toyota Supra is 45 years old.

We recently tested the 2025 Honda Ridgeline, and came away very impressed. Here’s a quick take: 1. It rides like an SUV.Since it’s based on the same unibody chassis of the Odyssey, instead of the separate frame like most trucks, the ride is smoother and quieter, and handling is excellent too. 2. There’s a dedicated off-road modelIntroduced last year there’s a Ridgeline […]
2025 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition review by Ben Lewis
We all know how popular SUVs are. But, if you’re looking for the real best sellers, you have to look at pickup trucks. For 2023, the #1 seller was the Ford F Series– over 750,000 sold. #2 the Chevy Silverado– 543,000, and #3 Dodge Ram – 449,000. (For those of you playing at home, #4 was the Toyota RAV4 at a commendable 443,000!) So yes, a lot of buyers still want a truck. But a lot of them don’t […]
