Default Mecum Chicago Auction Oct 5-7

Just a note for Chicago area folks--the annual Mecum Chicago Auction will be held Thursday through Saturday Oct 4-7 at the Schaumburg convention center // 1551 Thoreau Dr N // Schaumburg, IL I noticed only one ZR-1, a red/red '90 with 325 miles on it. Listed at No reserve so could be interesting. I may go one day as a spectator, with hands firmly planted in pockets. --Bob

I agree although they have sold some low mile examples for strong money. My guess is that this car bring upper 30s.

Got home from work late last night and turned on the TV and saw there was a mecum auction......I'm guessing it was an earlier auction from this year.....They had a 79 anniversary Trans Am cross the block with 800 or so miles on it.......I believe it was a bid goes on at 57,000 if I remember correctly, I was dozing in and out...

Be interesting to see what that low mileage Z will bring in...If its anything less than 30K that would be a disaster..

Plenty of pictures on the Mecum site. The link posted by LGAFF takes you to them or you can just find the car on the mecum website by going to Friday offerings.--Bob
