In this On the Move, hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman have their sights squarely on spotlighting the original, largest, and best muscle car auction: Dana Mecum’s 36th Original Spring Classic. The nine-day auction will feature 3,000 consignments and turn Indianapolis into the muscle car capital of the world. The guys’ high-octane conversation includes connecting with audio engineer, Toby Scott, who is bringing a unique 1969 Chevelle once owned by Bruce Springsteen.

Muscle Car Capital: Dana Mecum’s 36th Original Spring Classic

It’s Day One of the nine days of Dana Mecum’s 33rd Original Spring Classic, and On The Move hosts Matt Avery and John Kraman are ready to talk about all things related to the Indy auction. Getting things rolling, Matt highlights two special lots that will be crossing the block: STABIL’s red hot 1958 Chevrolet Apache Pickup and a workbench built by Badass Workbenches. Both are selling at no reserve with proceeds going to the Curing Kids Cancer charity. Then, the guys dive into some Dodge news with the brand’s recent announcement of three revamped muscle machines. First, there’s the 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat, the most powerful SUV ever; then, there's the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, the fastest mass-produced sedan in the world, and then, nipping right at the Demon’s hell-bent heels, the 2020 Challenger SRT Super Stock. Matt and John are revved for the reveals, discussing how Dodge continues to push horsepower and how it’s paying off handsomely. Then it’s Bronco time, with the guys itching for the icon’s release on July 13. They talk about some of the final details that have emerged and banter over whether the model will motivate Chevrolet to beef up the Blazer and give it some improved off-road chops. Then, Frank Mecum stops by the studio, giving an update from his time at the recent Eddie Vannoy Collection auction. Next, he shares the latest with the Indianapolis auction, including how Mecum worked closely with the state to ensure everyone’s on-site safety. Then, Frank spotlights what is considered one of the best Shelby collections: The John Atzbach Collection, which contains some of the most desirable Shelby vehicles on the planet including the 1965 Shelby GT350R Prototype, the 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 known as CSX2487 and a pair of Paxton-supercharged GT350s. From there, it’s consignment chat as Consignment Agent Gus Kozarzewski sits down in the studio to chat all about the ins and outs of bringing a vehicle to one of the many famed Mecum Auctions. He answers some of the common questions related to the consignment process and how his involvement with youth groups around the nation is helping to educate the next generation about the past, present and future of the collector car world.

Full Steam Ahead to Dana Mecum's 33rd Original Spring Classic

In this On The Move, Matt and John zoom right in on some hot news from Nissan in the form of the company's forthcoming redesigned Z sports car. The guys banter on how it’ll stack up against competitors like the Toyota Supra and red, white and blue pony cars like the Mustang and Camaro. Then it’s onto discussion of the latest from Ford with FoMoCo's upcoming unveiling of the 2021 F150, as well as how Buick is transitioning out of producing passenger cars. Next, Founder and President of Mecum Auctions Dana Mecum stops by the studio to give dates and details on the summer auction schedule. Dana shares some of the new ways Mecum is working hard to keep everyone safe at the live events, and touches on how the team is gearing up for the massive nine-day 33rd Original Spring Classic auction to be held in Indianapolis this July. Then, Dana breaks the news on a brand-new Florida event that will be taking place in Kissimmee this August. Finally, Matt and John hop on a call with Katie Osborne, TV floor reporter for Mecum Auctions on NBCSN. Katie explains her career path, her love of journalism and storytelling, and the story behind how she ended up with Mecum Auctions. She also shares some of her favorite classic rides including Broncos, Blazers and muscle-bound Chevelles.
