A trio of exceptional vehicles from the prestigious Mile High Collection will be auctioned by Mecum Auctions in Houston on April 5, 2025, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own notable muscle cars and an off-road titan.
Headlining the event is a fully restored 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback, one of just 499 models produced that year. Finished in striking Grabber Blue and matched with a pristine white interior, this iconic Mustang retains its original KK no. 2100 designation. Powering this Mustang is a coveted Boss 429 V-8 engine rated at 375 horsepower, linked to a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission and a robust 3.91 Traction-Lok axle. Having covered just 427 miles since restoration, the vehicle retains its original factory specifications, including authentic markings and features such as power steering and front disc brakes.
Also crossing the block is a limited-edition 2024 Ford Shelby Super Snake coupe, one of only 250 examples made for that year. This modern performance icon, powered by an 830-horsepower, supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, shows a mere 277 miles on its odometer. The Shelby Super Snake also features advanced Brembo brakes, a Shelby extreme cooling system, and distinctive carbon fiber body enhancements.
Rounding out the notable offerings is a rugged 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha, equipped with a powerful 6.6-liter Duramax Turbo Diesel V-8 producing 395 horsepower. Paired with an HD Allison five-speed automatic transmission and advanced four-wheel-drive capabilities, the H1 Alpha includes premium amenities such as heated front seats, power windows, and cruise control, making it as luxurious as it is capable on tough terrain.
