— those houses’ next big events are clustered around Monterey Car Week in mid-August, with Barrett-Jackson currently promoting its upcoming Las Vegas sale instead.
Mecum Harrisburg 2026
Mecum’s Harrisburg auction runs Wednesday, July 22 through Saturday, July 25 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA, with the bulk of the selling happening Thursday through Saturday. The docket is large by any standard, with roughly 1,200 collector vehicles crossing the block, spanning muscle cars, Corvettes, trucks, motorcycles, and automobilia. Mecum says the sale includes offerings from about ten private collections, among them a Great Lakes-sourced group anchored by a 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 and a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 30th Anniversary Edition.
Other notable consignments reported ahead of the sale include a rare 1970 Mercury Cougar Boss 302 Eliminator, a 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R, a limited-production 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 convertible in a special edition trim, a triple-black Corvette convertible, a V-code Plymouth ‘Cuda, and a restored Mustang Boss 302.
For those not attending in person, Mecum streams the auction live on ESPN+ each day from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (July 23–25), preceded each morning by an 8:30 a.m. preview show called “Mecum in the Morning.” General admission and bidder registration are available through Mecum’s website, and the Farm Show Complex is open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m.
GAA Classic Cars — Greensboro, NC
GAA Classic Cars holds one of its four annual sales this weekend, Thursday through Saturday, July 23–25, at its permanent venue, the Automobile Palace at 301 Norwalk Street in Greensboro. The facility is an eight-acre, climate-controlled building that can house up to 1,000 vehicles under one roof, so nearly the entire docket is displayed and sold indoors regardless of weather.
GAA’s own schedule lists approximately 257 vehicles crossing the block Thursday, 246 on Friday, and 190 on Saturday, for a combined docket in the 700-vehicle range; outside previews of the sale have rounded this to roughly 750 cars and trucks, including more than 60 Corvettes. Vehicles being watched ahead of the sale include a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window coupe, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS, a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1957 Volkswagen Beetle, a 1969 Corvette, a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T SE, a 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente, a no-reserve 1940 Ford pickup, and a 1967 Ford F-100 restomod.
General admission at the gate is $20. Those watching from home can catch all three days of the sale free on GAA’s YouTube channel, and the auction is also broadcast on the RACER Network, which carries additional in-depth vehicle features and interviews alongside the live sale coverage.
A quick note on sourcing: the vehicle counts and per-day breakdowns above come directly from each auction house’s own event pages, while the “cars to watch” style highlights are drawn from auction previews published by outlets like CorvetteBlogger and Motorious, so exact final consignment lists can shift slightly by sale day as cars are added or withdrawn.
