I watched the auction of both the black HO and the blue 400 car. The black car bid up to 150K very quickly, then they beat on it for a while, but no one else bid on it, so the bid was closed. I timed the bidding at about 2:33 for that car. The blue car got bid up to 65K and it sold in approximately 1:12.
The black car car was later shown with a "Bid Goes On" banner, then a few hours later when I checked, it was gone and I never could find it on the Mecum site again.
I'm assuming the posted prices of $165K for the black car is the $150K selling price plus the 10% buyers fee, and the 71.5K price for the blue car was the same, 65K plus 10%.
