Mecum, in my opinion, is far less reliable than Barrett - Jackson.
A buddy of mine paid big cash (nearly $100k) for an as auctioned "fully and professionally restored" '57 Chevy. That's what the auctioneer told the crowd.

Professionally restored? Floor pans pop riveted in?
Mecum pretty much told my friend "tough s---".
I think of Mecum as back lot used cars salesmen. Slimy comes to mind.
