Mecum's two January auctions top $258 Million in sales

08-Feb-23 /Vintage Motorsport/

Mecum Auctions added to the momentum from its record-setting $234 million in sales at the recent Mecum Kissimmee 2023 auction with an additional $24 million in sales at the Mecum Las Vegas Motorcycles 2023 auction, held Jan. 24-28. The two events culminated in a grand total of $258 million in overall sales for the month of January, making it Mecum Auctions’ highest-grossing month in its 35-year history.
The top-selling motorcycle at the 32nd Annual Vintage and Antique Motorcycle Auction was a 1908 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank that was found in 1941 in a Wisconsin barn as a complete motorcycle and was then expertly restored by Paul Freehill. The bike sold for $935,000 and became the most valuable motorcycle ever sold at auction. The Strap Tank is among the oldest surviving models of this extremely rare breed and is one of only 450 motorcycles produced by Harley-Davidson in 1908.
