Mecum Kissimmee 2025 is set to feature a lineup of 4,500 classic and collector vehicles all to be auctioned live from January 7-19, 2025 at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. Since its inaugural event in 1999, Mecum Kissimmee, known as The World’s Largest Collector Car Auction, has grown to attract consignors, bidders and enthusiastic spectators from all 50 states and several countries across the globe. Now, 26 years later, the event sees the return of the Dodge Thrill Ride, and a new child-friendly activity area called The Adventure Zone. Mecum Kissimmee 2025 is broadcast live on MotorTrendTV and Max, with 38 hours of live coverage over six of the 13 auction days.

Headlining The Mecum Kissimmee Car Auction are Steve McQueen’s 1969 Porsche 917K from the film Le Mans and Austin Powers’ 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster, known as the “Shaguar.”

The Porsche 917K is arguably the single most well-known race car of all time and was both driven and purchased new by one of history’s most notable actors, Steve McQueen. The Shaguar was famously piloted by one of the most recognizable characters in movie history – Mike Myers’ international spy Austin Powers. With its Union Jack livery and iconic Shaguar branding, the E-Type was the only one created and used in the filming of all three Austin Powers movies.

Kissimmee 2025 also features a selection of race cars driven by some of the biggest names in racing, all of which are available for bids. One of the most notable among the group is the first Porsche 910 produced; with chassis number 910-001, this extremely rare 1966 Porsche was driven by three-time Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda at the 1969 Österreichring 1000-kilometer race. Additionally, a 1966 Lola T90 Ford Indy Car with race-winning provenance and driven by Jackie Stewart, another three-time Formula 1 World Champion, is on the Kissimmee auction block.

Headlining car collections in this auction event include selections from the Jackie and Gary Runyon Collection, The Apex Collection and RVM Classics, among others. Notable collection offerings include the famous 1932 Ford Tommy Foster Roadster, A.J. Foyt’s 1959 Kurtis-Epperly Offenhauser Indy Car and Mario Andretti’s Road America- and Las Vegas-winning 1983 Lola T700 Cosworth Indy Car.

In addition to the thousands of cars and motorcycles crossing the auction block, more than 1,000 pieces of Road Art and automobilia are being auctioned off during the event as well. The RVM Classics collection features 150 pieces, including a Gilmore Kiddie Ride, a Shell Wayne Clock Face Gas Pump, a Ford Mercury Single-Sided Porcelain Neon Sign, and more. The Rusted Restoration Collection will present 348 pieces, starring a Frontenac Red Indian Gasoline Double-Sided Porcelain Sign and a Pepsi-Cola UFO Spinning Advertisement.

The Mecum Midway Stage hosts “Mecum in the Morning,” a daily show co-hosted by Mecum’s own Breeann Poland and Matt Avery. The show includes interviews with Steve McQueen’s grandson, Chase McQueen, along with Jay Gillotti, the author of Gulf 917, and notable podcast host Brendan Schaub.
