Mecum Auctions is one of the most popular auto auctions selling just about everything that has tires on it, including restored or modified cars, motorcycles, and some oddities as well. Occasionally a former race car will hit the block from NASCAR, IndyCar, and Formula 1. Katie Osbourne can be seen roaming about picking out some of her favorite cars on that day’s broadcasts. For 2021, Mecum has 14 auctions scheduled, including the largest of its kind just completed in Kissimmee, Florida.
