The lead cars for the 2024 Mecum Kissimmee sale are a 1966 Ford GT40 Mk1 Road Car and a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 SNART Spyder.
Although over 4,000 cars will be on sale at the Mecum Kissimmee collector car auction in Florida in early January 2024, the most exciting headline cars are classics from the mid-1960s. A rare 1966 Ford GT40 Mk1 Road Car is one of only 30 produced. Equally rare are three Ferraris: a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spyder (9th of 10 built), a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/LM Competizione Speciale (one of three), and a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (last of 55).

- a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/LM Competizione Speciale (Lot S195.2) that is one of three works competition models built, and
- a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (Lot S195.3) that is the last of the 55 Spyder SWB California constructed.
This trio of excellence joins an already robust list of Ferraris to be offered, including a low-mile 2004 Enzo (Lot S131) that’s one of six in its color, a 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS (Lot S218) that’s one of just 200 produced, a low-mile U.S.-spec 1992 Ferrari F40 (Lot S131.1) boasting several awards, and a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 S.E.F.A.C.
