Mecum Tulsa 2026 Results Bring Out the Muscle
Mecum Auctions returned to the SageNet Center at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 5-6, 2026 for another two-day collector car spectacular. With approximately 500 vehicles crossing the block, the auction delivered strong results across American muscle, classic trucks, and rare vintage iron. Here’s a full breakdown of the Mecum Tulsa Top Ten and other standout sales from the weekend.
Mecum Tulsa Top Ten Results
The headline car of the entire event was the 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster, Serial No. CSX4262, powered by a potent 427/539 HP Side Oiler V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and finished in a stunning aluminum body. It hammered sold at $247,500, more than double the next highest result and cementing its place at the top of the Mecum Tulsa results.
The rare 1969 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertible claimed the second spot at $126,500. The W-30 designation marks the high-performance forced-air induction package, and convertible examples are among the most coveted variants of the legendary Oldsmobile muscle car era.
A numbers-correct 1970 Plymouth GTX Hardtop (Lot S97) powered by a V-Code 440 Six-Pack V8 with automatic transmission roared to $121,000. The GTX’s combination of factory big-block performance and its clean hardtop body style continues to draw strong collector interest at auction.
A pristine 1970 Pontiac Trans Am brought $107,800, reflecting the sustained collector demand for first-generation F-body Pontiacs. Early Trans Ams are produced in relatively small numbers, making any well-documented example a serious bidding target on the auction floor.
One of the most historically significant cars of the weekend was the ultra-rare 1952 Cunningham C3 Roadster, featuring a custom hand-formed aluminum body and a 392 Hemi V8. Only 30 Cunningham C-3s were originally built, and this unique piece of American racing and luxury history – albeit one that left the factory as an unbodied chassis – sold for $99,000 – a remarkable opportunity for the winning bidder.
Tying at $99,000, a desirable 1977 Ford Bronco proved that the early Bronco craze shows no signs of cooling off in 2026. First-generation and early second-generation Broncos have been appreciating steadily, and this example drew competitive bidding throughout the sale.
Another Mopar muscle car joined the $99,000 tier as a 1969 Plymouth GTX matched the Bronco result dollar-for-dollar. The GTX nameplate consistently punches above its weight at auction, and the 1969 model year – featuring clean B-body styling before the 1970 redesign – remains a favorite among Mopar collectors.
The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T crossed at $97,900, keeping a full five Mopar muscle cars in the Mecum Tulsa Top Ten. First-year Challengers in R/T trim remain one of the most recognizable symbols of the muscle car era, and this example generated strong floor action before the hammer fell.
A sought-after 1969 Ford Bronco hammered at $95,700, continuing a dominant showing for early Broncos throughout the Tulsa sale. The first-generation Bronco (1966-1977) is one of the hottest collector truck segments in North America, and both the 1969 and 1974 examples in this top ten demonstrate that demand remains broad across the model range.
Rounding out the Mecum Tulsa Top Ten was another early Bronco – a 1974 Ford Bronco – also at $95,700. The identical result to the 1969 example underscores how consistently collectors are valuing clean early Broncos across model years right now.
Key Takeaways from Mecum Tulsa 2026
The Mecum Tulsa 2026 results tell a compelling story for the collector car market. Mopars dominated the Top Ten, with five Plymouth and Dodge muscle cars appearing in the list. Early Ford Broncos claimed three spots in the top results, reinforcing the truck’s status as one of the most in-demand collector vehicles of 2026. And the appearance of a 1952 Cunningham C3 Roadster in the top five added a rare piece of American automotive history to an otherwise muscle-car-heavy sale.
