Cool TREMEC Equipped Cars at the 2025 Mecum Kissimmee Auction

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Indy 500 Pace Car

Today’s mainstream classic car auctions are like going to a massive car show where many interesting types of makes and models can be seen. The 2025 auction season was kicked off by Mecum Auctions in Kissimmee, Florida, and we checked it out and see what kind of cool TREMEC equipped cars (and even non-TREMEC equipped ones) caught our attention.

Usually a new body style or generation for an American muscle car is a quick way to be named the Indy 500 pace car for that model year. The SN95 generation Ford Mustang earned its spot pacing the field for one of America’s greatest races in 1994, with a corresponding pace car edition available to Mustang Cobra buyers. Only 1,000 were built. This one has a TREMEC T-5 5-speed transmission behind an H.O. 5.0L pushrod V8 and a mere 4,892 miles on the odometer. When the gavel dropped it sold for $16,500

1993-1997 4th Gen Pontiac Trans Ams (and Formulas) don’t get a lot of love these days. Their LT1s and the Optispark ignition take a lot of criticism, but performance models were great cars from the era. This 1995 example has a factory TREMEC T-56 6-speed transmission that make the most of the 350 V-8 power. With only 63,000 miles on the clock and gray leather interior, it sold for $15,950 with a ton of potential as a fun TREMEC-equipped modern classic.

This one is not TREMEC equipped, but this 1971 Chevrolet Z/28 did come with a Muncie M-21 close ratio 4-speed behind its high-winding small-block. If you want an early 2nd Gen Camaro, especially a Z/28, you’re going to need plenty of cash. This one left Kissimmee with a new owner for $77,000 plus associated fees.

Back to cool Mustangs, this 1970 Boss 302 with Top Loader 4-speed stood out with its Calypso Coral paint and white interior. It was all original, including the factory Holley four-barrel sitting on top of the 302. It went to a new home for $101,200. Who out there would be daring enough to take a $100,000 classic Mustang and swap in a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission and go drive the wheels off it?

To attract more buyers for the C5 corvette, Chevrolet came up with the “budget” model C5 for 1999 and 2000, known as the “fixed roof coupe.” Only 4,031 were built, and it was discontinued after just 2 years of production. This 1999 fixed-roof was practically new with just 13 miles on the odometer. It sold for $34,100, right around its original sticker price: a real bargain with it’s not even broken in TREMEC T-56 6-speed transmission. The C5 generation of Corvettes was the first to be available with a TREMEC 6-speed

The C5 Corvette had to wait till its second year before it was tabbed to lead the Indy 500 field in 1998. GM/Corvette designer Kip Wasenko developed a special paint scheme for the Indy 500 Corvette that definitely made the car stand out. That same scheme was used for the 1998 pace car package, a $5,794.99 option for the C5 that included the TREMEC T-56 6-speed transmission. When new, this car had a window-sticker price of $50,744, but when the auction ended, this 1998 Indy 500 pace car sold for $49,500.

ABOVE: How do you like your B-body Mopars? The stylish Dodge Charger with hidden headlights or the simpler Plymouth? While this blue 1970 Charger in B5/B7 Blue has the advantage for overall options and niceties, the 1968 Plymouth Road Runner wins the battle for engine options with the dual-quad 426 Hemi under its hood. Though the 1970 Charger is no slouch with the 440 V8. The Road Runner sold for $95,700 and the Charger sold for $84,700.

By the 1988 model year, the Chevrolet Camaro benefitted from the TREMEC T-5 5-speed transmission like its Mustang rival. But if it was a convertible (even a Z/28 or IROC) the fun of a manual transmission was only paired with the 305 small-block engine. Over the last few years prices have been steadily going up on 3rd Gen ragtops, though not as much as hoped by the seller of this IROC-Z who refused the highest bid of $15,000 on the car so it went to the Bid Goes On field.

The 2010 Camaro SS was tagged to pace the 2010 Indy 500 field with its TREMEC TR-6060 6-speed transmission and LS3 V8. Its paint scheme paid a bit of homage to the 1969 Camaro Indy 500 pace car but with the main and stripe colors reversed. To add further excitement this one has had a centrifugal supercharger added, though it wasn’t enough to get it sold with the bid going on after the Camaro peaked at $32,000.

This TREMEC T-5 5-speed transmission equipped 1990 Ford Mustang GT only had 5,539 miles on its odometer and sold for a whopping $38,500. The car was an amazing time capsule, right down to a Bellsouth cellular phone. The only thing missing to complete the journey back to the 1990s was the cassette file keeping all the cruising tunes organized.

This car was just an enigma from beginning to end. First, somehow a 1987 Chevrolet Chevette survived to 2025 with only 47 miles driven. Second, that it sold for actual money to the tune of $33,000. We see the potential though in ditching its anemic 1980s drivetrain for a modern turbocharged 2.7 four-cylinder and TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission to turn it into a rocket.

How about some 1st Gen Firebird love? The 1969 Firebird gets seriously overshadowed by its Camaro cousin, but they were great performers with Pontiac performance 400 engines available. This is another classic that would be even better with a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission stealthily replacing its original Muncie 4-speed for fun cruising and maybe even the occasional trip to the track. It left Mecum Kissimmee 2025 with a new owner for the tidy sum of $55,000.

Here was a TREMEC-equipped bargain at Mecum Kissimmee 2025. The Corvette paced the Indy 500 for 2008, but with a much more sedate paint scheme than previous Corvette Indy 500 pace cars. The TREMEC TR-6060 and LS3 combo was more than capable of leading the field, and this particular car is one of only 266 pace car convertibles built out of the overall run of 500 pace cars. With only 21,000 miles on the clock, it sold for $31,900; less than what sold for new. And the new owner got something with Indy 500 legend Emmerson Fittipaldi’s signature on it.

Continuing the TREMEC-equipped bargain theme (yes we said that about a 4th Gen Camaro) this seemingly plain white 2001 Camaro was way more than it seemed. Notice the lack of Z28 or SS badges? No, this isn’t a V6 Camaro either. Say hello to one of the rare B4C police package 4th Gen Camaros with LS1 and TREMEC T-56 6-speed transmission. This car never really left the factory though, going straight to the GM Proving Grounds which makes it’s low 3,271 miles really amazing. It sold for only $29,700, which is a great price for such a sleeper with a lot of potential.

The 2004 Chevrolet Commemorative Edition Corvette Z06 has to be one of the best looking Corvettes. Honoring the Le Mans winning C5R corvettes, its Le Mans Blue paint still pops 20 years later.

This one only had 1,458 miles and sold for $42,900.
