Earlier this year, the Carlisle Events team decided to jettison long time auction partner Mecum Auctions in favor of taking the Corvettes at Carlisle auction in-house. At the time, the decision probably made a lot of sense. They were already doing auctions for their other events. And by keeping it in house, they merge the coordination of the auction with their current operations and collect the fees and commissions from buyers and sellers. But after the lackluster showing last weekend of having only 82 Corvettes consigned which then culminated in just 26 Corvettes being sold, one has to wonder just what went wrong in Carlisle. At last year’s event with Dana Mecum handling the gavel duties, just over 150 corvettes crossed the block with 53% selling, netting a sales total of over $3,000,000. This year, with a sales rate of 32%, sales totaled only $974,950. From all accounts, the new indoor venue was a hit. So let’s hope this was just a one year blip and that Carlisle will return next year with the powerhouse auction Corvette buyers and sellers have come to expect. Corvettes at Carlisle Auction Results:

So is S136 the Zo6 tanker that you previewed? If so, how far off of estimates was the the $67,000 bid? That seems extremely soft for that car.
Nelson:
Thanks for your comment. I think it is, but I wasn’t at the auction to confirm. However, because there was only 1 1963 Corvette listed on their preview page, I am sure this was the one. For whatever reason, Carlisle used different lot numbers on their auction website than what was used at the live event itself. Go figure that one out.
$67K is very soft for this Corvette. A couple tanker Z06’s sold last year in the area of $200,000 and one went for $330,000.
Thanks again for visiting.
Keith
