Black Corvette Collection To Be Sold At Mecum’s Bloomington Gold Auction

Mecum will be holding their annual Bloomington Gold auction this Friday and Saturday at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles IL. Over 400 Corvettes are expected to cross the block during the two day affair including a unique 23-car collection comprised entirely of Black Corvettes ranging from 1954-1969 which will be offered at no-reserve.

The collection was assembled by Bill Mullis of Ashville, North Carolina. According to a documentary by Michael Brown Productions, Bill started with a couple of Black Corvettes and realizing that the black cars are much harder to find, he continued to add only the best examples available.

Mullis’ Black Corvette collection features at least one Corvette from 1954-1969, representing every year that Black was available from the factory. In addition to being Black, many of these Corvettes have the engine options that most collectors desire: big blocks, fuelies and high performance V8s. The Corvette featured in the above picture is an early 1966 Corvette Coupe with a 427/450 hp V8 and the 36 gallon fuel tank.

Here is a list of cars that comprise the Mullis Black Corvette Collection:

The Bill Mullis Black Corvette Collection is scheduled to be sold Saturday morning at Mecum’s Bloomington Gold Auction. If you are unable to make it to St. Charles to be there in person, catch all the action via online streaming video or through HD Theater. More details as well as the other Corvettes for sale can be found at Mecum.com.
