Mecum’s Kissimmee 2026 auction will get an early jolt of star power when The Medeiros Collection sends three fan-favorite machines across the block at no reserve on Wednesday, January 14. The lineup blends ’80s Americana, European supercar pedigree, and modern German performance—each appealing to a different corner of the collector market.

Leading the nostalgia charge is a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, finished in black with gold accents and equipped with a V-8 and 4-speed manual—a combo that embodies the early third-gen era. Recaro bucket seats, mesh-style alloy wheels, rear window louvers, an Alpine stereo with security keypad, and a ZT driving computer amplify the period swagger. Power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and pop-up headlights make it a well-optioned example that should pull in bidders chasing “first-poster car” memories.
On the opposite end of the spectrum sits a 1991 Ferrari Testarossa, arguably the definitive silhouette of late-’80s and early-’90s exotic culture. Dressed in Rosso over Tan Connolly leather, it features a 4.9-liter flat-12 paired with a 5-speed gated manual and limited-slip differential. This car benefits from a recent major service covering belts, ignition components, pumps, filters, and sensors—critical items for Testarossa ownership. Pininfarina styling, pop-up headlights, and 5-spoke alloys complete the look that made the TR a cultural phenomenon.
Rounding out the trio is a 2009 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, offering drop-top, twin-turbo excitement with everyday usability. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six with a Tiptronic S automatic and all-wheel drive, it includes red-caliper brakes, Sport Chrono, 5-spoke alloys, an active rear spoiler, and a power soft top. Inside, power bucket seats, climate control, and an infotainment screen deliver modern comfort to match the speed.
With all three lots guaranteed to sell to the highest bidder, expect a packed room and spirited competition. Muscle fans, exotic collectors, and Porsche loyalists all have something to chase—making this a highlight worth circling on the Kissimmee 2026 docket.
