Talladega Sold at Auction

The first ever Mecum Auction was held in Nashville, TN, September 22-26, 2026. It had a huge turnout with bidders and spectators from all over the Country. As expected, there were some cars that sold for way more than expected and others that were real bargains. Unfortunately, the one Ford aero car was one of the latter.

A local to the Nashville area sold well below its real value. The car is in our Registry. VIN 9A46Q201958, an estimated condition #2 (it has hood pins), burgundy was bid quickly to $41,000 and sold quickly. With fees, this represents an approximate sale price of only $45,000 to the buyer. I think we all will agree this was a bargain. I had a bidder pass, but I just don’t have room for another car.

What do you think? Was that a fair price for the seller? Leave your comments below.

Some of my first and strongest memories from my childhood relate to cars. I still remember when things happened based on what car I was driving at the time. I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California and now live in Tennessee. I was a Corvette fanatic for years but then re-discovered vintage American Muscle. My wife, Katrina, and I decided we wanted to focus on unique and rare muscle cars. After a lot of research we fell in love with the Ford Blue Oval Aero Cars. These were only built in 1969 and and aerodynamics became an important part of winning races. The only purpose of these limited production cars was to win NASCAR races using the Boss 429 and 427 power plants complimented with a special, wind cheating, aerodynamic body. The Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II are terrific and historic cars. This site is devoted to these car and their owners past and present. We provide an Online Registry for recording the long term history and ownership of every remaining Talladega, Spoiler and Spoiler II.
