High End Custom Builds at Mecum Kissimmee 2026
Although originality in classic cars remains important, restomods are a growing market segment in the hobby. At this year’s Mecum Kissimmee auction, several high-end custom Builds were on the docket, most noticeably three special Corvettes built by Kindig-it Design. From Kindig’s shop a 1962 and 1967 Vette were representative of ultimate restomoding. The original body design was enhanced and an all-new drive train and modern technologies replaced factory equipment. A third vehicle, a 1953 Corvette CF1 Roadster, is a complete ground-up Build, based on his inhouse Kindig-it design.
A 1963 Corvette custom Build was also for sale at Mecum. This is a studio concept split window coupe designed and owned by Peter Brock, the person who first conceived the timeless design of the second-generation Corvette.
Tri-Five Chevys are always popular and the guys at Snodgrass Chevy Restoration had two beautiful convertible restomod Belairs at this year’s auction, a 1956 and a 1957.
Another high-end Build at the auction was a radically modified 1934 Ford Model A pickup. This Build was a Great 8 finalist at the 2018 Detroit Autorama and multiple award winner on the show circuit. Here is an interview with the owner when the car was at the Detroit Autorama.
Sale Prices include sales commission.
