2025 Mecum Kissimmee-SOLD OR NOT SOLD -1976 Tommy Ivo's funny car- Classic Car market update
In our previous Mecum video "4,000 cars in one day"
, we take on the incredible challenge of reviewing 4,000 classic cars for sale at the Mecum Kissimmee auction. Well, one day was not enough, so we came back on January 10 to cover the areas that we previously missed. Like a kid in a candy store combined with the determination of a 101st Airborne paratrooper on D-Day, we dive in with our modest camera setup and trusty walking shoes. Due to the cars constantly being moved through the auction process, we missed a few but ended with the longest and most comprehensive Mecum car review videos on You Tube.
At nearly two hours, this is our longest video yet-and like all our videos, it’s straightforward and no-nonsense. We go car-to-car, sharing a first-look perspective with spontaneous comments and observations. There's no script-just raw, real-time impressions as we navigate the massive crowds and take in the sights.
While we strive to be as accurate as possible, filming on the go can lead to the occasional slip-up. I welcome corrections and fact-checks from my knowledgeable followers. I’m not a walking car encyclopedia like Steve Magnante or David Freiburger-I’m a passionate generalist with a deep love for machines, always learning and growing through your insights.
If you’re a car lover who values substance over fluff, this video is for you. Enjoy, and Muchas gracias for watching!

      @Viva-la-Maquina Yea, It's a shame, but I'm not being funny, with the move to electric, it's getting harder and harder to run a modern IC, with all the congestion charges and low emission zones, let alone a (with respect) ancient air cooled brick mobile, and one that's prone to rust and break downs, it's likely only going to go down in value. People just can't take that kind of risk.

Vw-itis And how that effects buying trends, I myself recently purchased a 90s Isuzu, it does about 12-15 MPG at lower speeds and 25-30 at high, nobody in their right mind would get it, but I liked the way it looked, the sound and brutality of its workings.

    As soon as I saw the cabins stretched VW T1 shape I had to stop and look again. This came out two years before the Type 1’s release date in 1938! But it is not just the roof line but the fender flairs and tail lights,the little running board that joins the front and back fender flairs, so many things that scream T1. A lovely car for its day and very roomy inside as well. Of course for a fairly large car it is a two door, again like the T1.
