Welcome back to our look at Mecum’s upcoming 2022 Kissimmee auction. The countdown to opening day is just about 14 days now. Perusing the Corvette docket, we currently see 360 Corvettes listed which is more than double the number of consignments from 2 weeks ago. Expect a few more to be added as the date draws nearer.

Past previews focused on the Corvette Super Sport, Gulf One, and the C2 Z06 equipped Corvettes from Mecum’s Once in a Lifetime Corvette Offering. This time we’re going to focus on a diverse quartet of first and second generation cars ranging from a pilot line 1966 L88 to an ultra-rare 1957 airbox fuelie.

Lot F158: 1960 Race Rat Tanker – When we think of big tank or “tanker” Corvettes, we generally think of C2’s. However, tankers were available to savvy buyers and racers on C1 Corvettes as well. In 1960, 10 big tank Corvettes were built. This 1960 fuelie was ordered through Nickey Chevrolet by George Reed to complete in the 1960 Sebring 12 hour race. In addition to the 315hp engine, Reed selected heavy duty suspension, heavy duty brakes, and a 4-speed transmission. Upon delivery to Sebring, Zora Arkus Duntov himself assisted with the final race prep. The car went on to win its class and finish 16th overall. Today the car is in excellent restored condition and has been displayed at top events such as the 2004 and 2014 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, the 2009 Los Angeles Concours d’Elegance, the 2010 NCRS 50th Anniversary display, and the 2013 Greenwich Concours d’Elegance. It’s also an NCRS American Heritage Award recipient.

Lot F164: 1957 Big Brake Airbox Fuelie – This well-known straight axle is one of 44 produced with RPO 579E, the fresh airbox intake. It’s also 1 of 54 with heavy duty brakes and suspension. Other options include a fuel injected engine, 4-speed transmission, and wider 5.5″ wheels. The car was raced in SCCA events across the country throughout its early life. Since that time, it’s been restored back to stock form and lays claimed to our hobby’s top awards including multiple NCRS Top Flights, Bloomington Gold, and 2 Bloomington Special Collections. It’s been featured in Vette Vues magazine and participated in the 75th anniversary Monterrey historics. It’s being offered from the John Justo collection with copious documentation, awards, and restoration photos.

Lot S113: 8,500-mile unrestored 1967 427/435 Coupe – We first saw the “Vault Find” 1967 Corvette at the 2017 Mecum Indy auction where it sold for $675,000 from the original owner’s family. The Marina Blue on blue 435hp coupe remains in unrestored, original condition with just 8,533 miles on the odometer. The option list includes the 435hp engine, M21 4-speed, F41 suspension, and 4.11 rear end. It’s never been shown or judged and comes documented with the window sticker, Protect-O-Plate, and car shipper.

Lot S237: 1966 Pilot Line L88 Coupe – This Sting Ray is one of the “Four Kings,” 1966 Corvette factory racers. It’s the first known Corvette factory-prepared for Luigi Chinetti’s NART team, the first built with shoulder harnesses, and the second to be fitted with the cowl-induction fresh air hood. The intent was to test aluminum cylinder heads and other racing bits in the 1966 Sebring 12 hours. Pedro Rodriguez and Mario Andretti were to be the drivers, but they ended up in one of Chinetti’s Ferrari’s instead. Future pilots included Harold Whims, Don Yenko, John Finger, and John “Sam” Henderson. They completed at many notable tracks such as Daytona, Talladega, Charlotte Motor Raceway, Virginia International Raceway, Marlboro Motor Raceway, and Road Atlanta among others. The L88 engine sports a 1965-dated intake manifold and January 1966 dated aluminum cylinder heads. Other track-spec options include heater and defroster delete, radio delete, F41 suspension, Positraction rear axle, heavy-duty brakes, transistor ignition, M22 4-speed, and a 36 gallon gas tank. It’s extensively documented and has been shown at numerous national events over the last decade including 2014 and 2020 Bloomington Gold Collections, 2016 MCACN Corvette Legends Invitational, and the 2014 Corvettes at Carlisle Race Car Reunion.

Mecum’s monster 2022 Kissimmee auction will take place January 6th-16th at the Osceola Heritage Park. MotorTrend TV, MotorTrend+, and Discovery will have live coverage Wednesday, January 12th – Saturday, January 15th. Approximately 3,500 cars are expected. Keep an eye here and on the Mecum website as new additions are being added daily.

Corvettes for Sale: 1971 Corvette Convertible Was a Former Wedding Present

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 1971, Auction, Auctions&Results, C3, C3 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, eBay December 22, 2021

This classic 1971 Corvette seems to thrive on festive occasions.

For example, about 15 years ago, newlyweds received this Stingray convertible as a wedding present. They drove it a few times but it wound up spending most of the time in storage.

Not surprisingly, they wound up selling it a couple of years ago to the current owner, who planned to restore it but instead bought a house in Florida and has no time for such projects.

Therefore, on Christmas Day 2021, someone else will become the new owner after a no-reserve auction on eBay comes to an end on Saturday.

So far, 43 bids have climbed to $19,200.

On the bright side, this Stingray still has its original 350 engine hooked to a four-speed manual transmission. The owner says it “ran excellent” when he parked it in the garage two years ago, but it will need a new battery after sitting so long. About half of the 21,801 Corvettes built that year came with air conditioning, and fortunately this is one of them.

He says the interior “is all there” and in “pretty good condition.” The frame is described as rust-free, and the body looks “very good with a few cracks here and there.” It’s covered with paint that’s old “but looks good for a driver.” The brakes work, the exhaust looks new, and the tires have “a lot of tread” but definitely need to be replaced due to being 20 years old.

“All in all,” the owner says, his classic ‘Vette is “an excellent car to bring back to its previous glory.” After all, he muses, “where do you find a #’s matching factory air 4spd convertible project these days?”

1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe

For the collector who wants to own one of the most iconic Corvettes in the model’s 69-year run, the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Sport Coupe is it. Chevrolet redesigned the Corvette in 1963 and for the first time, it came from the factory as a hardtop coupe. Zora Arkus-Duntov offered three different transmissions and four different engine performance options with the fuel injected 327/360hp L84 option reigning supreme. But what made the 1963 Coupe truly unique was the split rear window offered only in the inaugural year of the C2 before Zora successfully lobbied GM Design to change it to a single rear window in 1964.

The original owner of this 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe must have been wanting to drive the ultimate street Corvette when he placed his order. Outfitted in Riverside Red and a Black interior, the original buyer made sure to check the box on the 327/360 Fuelie V8 as well as the four-speed manual transmission, while power windows, AM/FM radio, and whitewall tires rounded out the options. We can imagine it was quite at home cruising the boulevards back in the day.

This ’63 Fuelie Sting Ray has been meticulously detailed, undergone a frame-off restoration, and only 99 miles are showing on the odometer. This Corvette is still equipped with the original L84 engine as certified by Al Grenning’s C.C.A.S. service and the Trim Tag has also been verified. Further documentation includes the N.C.R.S. Shipping Data Report.

The Fuel Injected 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Sport Coupe would be the center point of any automotive collection. For details or more information, contact Tim at 714-630-0700.

1996 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible

When C4 production finally came to an end in ’96 after 12 years, Chevrolet knew they had to send it off with a bang, not a whimper. And since the ZR-1 was discontinued in ’95, there was definitely a void that needed to be filled!

The name “Grand Sport” had been used once before. It was for the fabled early ’60’s Corvette race cars helmed by legendary drivers such as Bob Bondurant, Roger Penske, A.J. Foyt, and Dr. Dick Thompson, among others. For this ’96 Special Edition, G.M. thought it fitting that the name should be brought back again!

We love the 1996 Corvette Grand Sport for what it offered to Corvette buyers – a limited edition Corvette with a unique engine to celebrate the end of a generation. Limited to 1,000 units overall, Chevrolet produced 810 coupes and 190 convertibles in Admiral Blue with a White full-length body stripe and Red hash marks on the front fenders. They also received a special black-painted version of the ZR-1 wheels with the coupes getting the import flares added to the body so the rear wheels would fit appropriately.

The Grand Sport’s LT-4 engine was rated at 330hp, which was 30 more than the standard LT-1 engine. However, the car’s performance feels considerably more powerful than the advertised increase would indicate!.

Corvette Mike acquired this ’96 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible by the original owner who only put 19,277 miles on the odometer. This GS is #117 in the series and is fully documented with all books, manuals, original window sticker, build sheet, and more. It also received a high score from the NCRS who awarded it Top Flight status. Celebrate the C4’s end of the line by adding this highly collectible Grand Sport to your stable.

This 1996 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible is offered for $52,900. Call Tim at 714-630-0700 for more information.

2016 Corvette Z06 Coupe

This 2016 Corvette Z06 with a seven-speed manual transmission, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and the Z07 Performance Package was originally ordered from Legacy Chevrolet in Columbus, Georgia before it was acquired from the original owner by Corvette Mike in the fall of 2021. Powered by the 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 engine that was rated for 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, this Z06 Coupe has just under 6K miles on the odometer and is documented with the original window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean CarFax report.

The Z06 is finished in Arctic White with Kalahari leather interior and features a full-length Black racing stripe across the hood, roof, and rear deck of the car. It’s outfitted with the level three visible carbon fiber aerodynamics package that includes the aggressive front splitter and rear wickerbill across the rear spoiler. It also includes a painted and transparent roof panel. Inside you’ll find the carbon fiber trim package surrounding the center stack and instrument cluster.

The Corvette Z06 sits on staggered setup of 19″/20″ Chrome-finished aluminum wheels with Corvette logo center caps. The rubber is currently mixed with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires up front and Continental Extreme Contact tires (non-runflats) in the rear. With the Z07 Performance Package comes Brembo’s carbon-ceramic brakes and red brake calipers.

Corvette Mike is offering this low-mileage one-owner 2016 Corvette Z06 for $89,900. Are you ready to be its next caretaker? Contact Tim at 714-630-0700 today.

Corvettes for Sale: 1971 Corvette 454 Yard Find on eBay

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 1971, Auctions&Results, Barn Find, C3, C3 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, eBay, field car November 2, 2021

Corvettes for Sale: 1971 Corvette Yard Find on eBay

This 1971 Corvette Stingray coupe is reminiscent of a Dolly Parton song with its “coat (of paint) of many colors.”

Yes, it’ll take a lot of work to get this early C3 looking like the chrome bumper classic it yearns to be (including those chrome bumpers that have gone AWOL).

But at least a little bit of the heavy lifting has already been done for the new owner of this car currently for sale on eBay out of Northford, Connecticut at the “Buy It Now” price of $7,500.

Corvettes for Sale: 1971 Corvette 454 Yard Find on eBay

The seller apparently is a man of few words – 33 to be exact in his listing, but he does say that a rebuilt 454 engine has been installed under the hood and a new exhaust system installed. He candidly admits that he doesn’t know whether that motor is the original matching numbers unit.

He also points out that the front clip is not the right one and in one of the photos it does appear to be from a ’68.

As for the interior, it’s hard to tell exactly what kind of shape it’s in because the radiator is resting on the rear deck and blocks the view. About all we see is the steering wheel and a bare driver’s door panel.

If the frame and birdcage aren’t too rusty, there could be enough room in the price to handle the restoration. What do you think?

Reggie Jackson’s 1961 Corvette Offered on Bring A Trailer

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 1961, Auctions&Results, C1, C1 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, Reggie Jackson August 7, 2021

I’ve been a New York Yankees fan for about as long as I’ve been a Corvette enthusiast – in other words, ever since I can remember.

That’s why my ears really perked up when I read about this 1961 Corvette convertible owned by Yankees legend Reggie Jackson since 2005 but now up for sale on Bring a Trailer. The high bid has reached $35,500 with five days left in the auction.

This C1, originally sold new in California, is one of 16 classics being offered on dealer consignment on Bring a Trailer as part of the Mohr Imports Monterrey Collection Sale during Monterrey Car Week.

The 1961 Corvette featured a new rear end that foreshadowed the 1963 inspired by GM design chief Bill Mitchell’s XP-700 show car.

This Ermine White Corvette features black vinyl upholstery and has a numbers-matching 283/270 horsepower V8 engine with dual four-barrel carburetors, finned valve covers, a generator, an aluminum radiator, and chrome treatments for the air cleaner housing and ignition cover. It’s paired with a four-speed manual transmission.

The car features a push-button Wonderbar AM radio, an analog clock, a cigarette lighter, lap belts, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and 15-inch wheels with spinner-style covers.

The odometer shows 36,000 miles though Mr. Jackson has driven it just 2,500 miles in his 16 years of ownership.

While the car appears to be in excellent condition overall, a photo does show a small tear in the black convertible top.

You may remember that less than a year after retiring from Major League Baseball, Jackson suffered a heartbreaking loss in a fire on August 4, 1988 that destroyed a warehouse in Berkeley, California along with 35 of his vintage cars stored there and valued at more than $3 million.

Destroyed was the first car in his collection, a 1940 Chevrolet he had bought in 1971 for $300 and a TV set, as well as a 1983 Porsche Targa he received from the California Angels after capturing the American League home run title.

[STOLEN] New York State Set To Auction a C7 Corvette Stingray Recovered From Dealership Heist

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 2015, Auction, Auctions&Results, C7, C7 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, New York, recovered, Stingray, stolen, Stolen Corvettes June 5, 2021

Here’s a story that you won’t find on the CarFax.

Now through June 8th, you have the chance to bid on a 2015 Corvette Stingray that has had some exciting experiences in the 31,320 miles that it’s covered since leaving its small Kentucky hometown. The seller is none other than the state of New York, which came into possession of a second-year C7 through unusual means; this isn’t a former drug dealer’s whip that was confiscated on a police bust.

The tale became truly interesting on a fateful night when an undisclosed number of bandits descended on a Chevrolet dealership outside of the Empire State. Depending on your point of view, the burglars/industrialists either stole or liberated the Torch Red over Adrenaline Red coupe from the showroom after the employees were safe at home. The flashiest car on the floorplan was a sitting duck without the three-pedal, seven-speed theft-deterrent option. The outlaws easily took possession of the LT1-powered beauty and had to make haste! OnStar could shut down the car remotely at any moment, so they needed to point its long hood towards New York and their mark. After meeting their rube, the car changed hands under false pretenses. Sometime later, the buyer tried to register it and was flagged by the DMV for application discrepancies. The C7 and its nervous owner were ordered to head to Rochester for a formal investigation. After a walkaround, Motor Vehicle examiners determined that the VIN had been altered; the owner had been duped into taking possession of stolen goods!

The dealership that never made the OnStar call (inside job?) was tracked down, but by this time, their insurance company had already covered the value of the C7, and they declined the recovery opportunity.

This gave the newly crowned owners (the state of New York) the green light to move forward with an auction. As of writing, 157 bids had only taken the price to $29,400, a screaming deal for one of the hottest used cars on the market! It isn’t specified what hoops the next owner will have to jump through to title the C7 or if the VIN was corrected, but if the price is right, this could be your chance to pick up the final front-engine Corvette on the cheap! Place your bid (or just watch the action) right here! This rehabilitated Corvette deserves a good home!

[VIDEO] This 1980 Corvette for Sale Has the Rare V54 Factory Roof Panel Carrier Option

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 1980, C3, C3 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale May 22, 2021

With 40,614 coupes manufactured in St. Louis, the 1980 Corvette isn’t necessarily what you think of as an ultra-rare car.

But today we bring you a video of a somewhat special ’80 Corvette up for sale at a Connecticut dealership with an option you may have read about, but have probably never seen in person. I know I haven’t, and fellow CorvetteBlogger Senior Editor Keith Cornett says he hasn’t either.

My first Corvette of the dozen I’ve owned over the past 38 years was a red-on-red ’80, so these cars have a special place in my heart. One of the drawbacks of the late C3s, however, was the fact that it was awkward to access the storage space behind the seats because the rear hatch didn’t open (until the ’82 Collector Edition solved that problem with a couple of hinges – go figure!).

This white Corvette solved that problem a couple of years before the Collector Edition, just by adding the rare Roof Panel Carrier option that was outfitted to just 3,755 cars that year – at a mere cost of $125.

Basically, the rear deck of the car has four holes strategically placed into which special brackets are placed that, with the aid of some straps, then hold the roof panels in place.

While the idea was likely to provide more storage space behind the seats, the salesman who’s offering this 42,000-original-mile, two-owner Corvette nevertheless didn’t feel comfortable going down the road with the panels on the carrier. We can’t blame him, considering the pristine nature of the glass T-tops on the car, even though he points out the panels are tightly locked in place out back.

He’s probably thinking about those poor souls who have forgotten to latch their C4 to C7 panels and watched them fly off into oblivion.

I have mixed feelings about this option. While I like the extra space it affords inside the car with the open roof, I’m not really that crazy about the way the holes look in the back of the deck, nor do I really care for the way the panels look actually mounted on the back of the car. To us, it messes up the beautiful curves of the C3 as it goes down the road.

Still, I can appreciate the usefulness and inexpensive nature of this option. Sales remained about the same in 1982 (with 3,303 sold for $135 each) but the number declined in the final year of the third generation to 1,992 ($144 cost), perhaps a result of the hinged glass offered on the Collector Editions.

What about you? Would you feel comfortable placing your roof panels on this contraption? I don’t know. I’d probably just leave the panels in a safe place at home and take the car out on a sunny day when there’s no chance of rain if I needed the space.

Corvettes for Sale: 65-Mile 2019 Corvette ZR1 Asks $200K

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 2019, 2019 ZR1, Blue Devil / ZR1, C7, C7 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, low mileage March 28, 2021

It’s not too late to get your hands on the baddest Corvette ever made, but your procrastination is going to cost you.

Pennsylvania’s JFK Auto is offering anyone willing to part with $200,000 the chance to take home a triple-black (black exterior, wheels, and interior) 2019 ZR1 with just 65 miles on the clock.

Out of the scant 2,953 C7 ZR1s produced, JFK’s example is exceedingly rare! It is one of just 192 ordered with the lower-tier (but lighter) 1ZR equipment group. In fact, the “high wing” ZTK Track Pack seems to be the only optional extra bestowed upon this black beauty by the fine folks of Bowling Green. It features the base seats and a “standard” three-pedal transmission. This keeps it breathing the rarefied air as one of 538 Black ZR1s, one of 2,077 big-wings, and one of 754 coupes with a manual gearbox.

$198,800 might feel a bit rich for a two-year-old car with a $126,000-spec sheet, but in a world where people are happily paying more than double MSRP for a base C8, we’d say this like-new specimen of the ultimate front-engine Corvette is worth every penny! But, if you are like us and didn’t get into Bitcoin or out of GameStop at the right time, you can save $70 grand if you are willing to take a chance on a ZR1 that’s covered 1000x more ground (that has somehow added another 10k miles since we covered it last year).

Corvettes for Sale: 1966 Corvette Restomod Offers an Amazing Experience and a Price to Match

Posted by admin in Uncategorized and tagged with 1966, C2, C2 Corvette, Corvettes For Sale, Customized Corvettes, Florida, LS7, restomod November 16, 2020

You get what you pay for.

That might be the lesson to be learned from this 1966 Corvette Sting Ray convertible restomod currently up for sale at a Florida dealership.

Modern Muscle Cars out of Ocala has marked down the price of this beautiful Sting Ray by $50,000 –and they’re still asking $229,000.

But, for that whopper of a price, you’ll get a Corvette that is “an amazing experience” to drive, according to the listing.

We’d be inclined to believe that analysis, based on all the impressive work that has been done to this car.

TechNet Professional installed a new GM LS7 7.0-liter 427 cubic inch V8 that pumps out 505 horsepower and added a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a Ram Twin Disc Hydraulic clutch and a smooth-shifting short-throw shifter. This Sting Ray now “rides and turns like a dream” after other mechanical updates that include a Street Shop frame with C4 suspension, adjustable coilovers, and new Nitto 555 tires surrounding new Chip Foose chrome rims.

The Magnetic Metallic paint from House of Colors is said to be “amazing” when you see it in person, and the all-new leather interior “gives you that new car smell that is so irresistible.”

Other modern touches include power windows, JL Audio Bluetooth stereo with six speakers and a subwoofer, Dakota Digital gauges with red backlighting, tilt wheel, custom console with retractable cup holders, and an all-new Vintage AC system.

If you’ve got the bucks, this is definitely one beautiful C2 Corvette!
