Mecum Houston GT Heritage
- Thread starter THamonGT
- Start date
I'm wondering if this is Dana's throw down Ford GT Heritage that travels to all the auctions and never sells? Does anyone recognize it from another auction? I'm going to be surprised if it sells tomorrow in Houston. Didn't seem to be enough good buyers there today. Prices seemed to be pretty poor. I'll post an interesting purchase tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I too saw the car yesterday. Don't know if it sold today as I was unable to go to the auction. I will be there tomorrow (saturday), so someone should be able to fill me in on the details.
I noticed the car did not have the McIntosh stereo nor subwoofer. It also had an odd looking "spacer" between the rear of the car and the rear bumper. I do not believe my Heritage has one of these. It made the rear tail pipes appear to be 1" recessed into the rear of the car. Maybe the previous owner of my car removed it??

Canadian car. Note the red rotation numbers on the windshield. That's a dead giveaway, plus the rear bumper extension is what was on all the Canadian cars to pass Canadian crash laws
Also, the gauges will have symbols denoting the gauge function, instead of lettered names. Easy to spot, unless replaced with Speedhut units
I believe the Canadian cars didn't have the McIntosh upgrade option available due to the extra weight of the mandatory Canadian bumpers. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard the Canadian cars are worth between 10-20% less than a comparable American car.
I think I saw the Camero Camilo received when he won the Motor City Masters design program on TV. If it had been a Mustang I would have purchased it. Ha, Ha. Actually this vehicle was built for show by an Electronic Media Co. For over $125,000. It was sold yesterday in Houston for $25,000. The interior was pink matching alligator leather and 9 screen videos. Pictures don't actually show off the unbelievable paint and bodywork. If it had been a 2010 Mustang I think I would have purchased it.

Dana Mecum is known to negotiate commissions on the spot to get a car to sell...., I know, I have been on the buying end when he cut their commission way down to get a car I was bidding on to sell. Not saying that is the case here, but only the buyer and seller knows what the commission ended up being.

I believe this car was bought in southern Alberta, Canada along with a red and blue GT and a whole bunch more cars and trucks from a private collection.
The purchaser then sold all the cars individually. They sold the red GT at Barrett Jackson Las Vegas last fall.
