Before bidding at Mecum, I would have to sell my 1985 Caprice Landau and my 1981 Impala project car, both of which were rust-free Arizona cars. The Caprice had 152,000 miles and would eventually need an engine and transmission rebuild and a paint job, and I wasn't willing to stick that money into a car with a vinyl top. The Impala needed everything, but family obligations have kept me from doing much work on it. The answer was a low-mileage Caprice or Impala coupe, and the cars at Mecum exactly fit the bill. My Caprice was sold for $5K and the Impala for $2K to Wisconsin buyers.
