The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is an amazing show featuring some of the most sought-after cars ever built.    In this video, we took some time to chat with John Kramen from the Mecum Auction Company about the cars they brought to the show, ranging from a Yenko Camaro, a 640 mile Plymouth Superbird, a Ford Torino King Cobra, several Hemicuda convertibles, a 1 of 8 1969 Pontiac Trans Am convertible, and more!  The only difference is that all the cars in the Mecum display will go to the highest bidder at an upcoming Mecum auction!

The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals featured many special displays in 2014, one being a Chrysler Hemi Invitational.    The scene featured a row of Hemi cars of all flavors, and we stopped to chat with Dan Haston about the '65 A990 record-holding race Hemi car he brought to the show.    

 

One of the coolest displays at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is the "Barn Finds & Hidden Gems" display, which showcases cars and trucks as they were discovered in their present and unrestored states.   In this video, we take a look at a 1969 Ford Mustang BOSS 429 that was reported to be raced many years ago, and was displayed along with its new engine and vintage 1967 Ford cab-over race car hauler.  

They say nothing goes together like hot cars and Rock & Roll music, and there was a fantastic theme display at the 2014 Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals that showcased them both!    The "Color My World" display demonstrated the wild array of colors offered in the Muscle Car era, and Patrick Krook was there to show us a new line of G&L Guitars that are painted to match.   

This 1969 Pontiac Firebird is a very unusual 'Bird being a prototype for the 1969 Pontiac Trans Am program.    We learned the story at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, IL.   

Original Chevrolet big-block cars featuring the L89 aluminum head option are pretty rare, and the L89 display at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals​ was outstanding!    Here, we learn about them from Dan Vasic.   

http://www.mcacn.com – The Mecum Auction Company had a big display at the very front of the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show this year, and we had the opportunity to chat with John Kraman about what it is like to put on such a giant road show.   You can see the Mecum auction schedule at http://www.mecum.com.
