Mecum Auctions just wrapped up their 22nd annual Spring Classic last weekend in Indianapolis and Corvette sales were rather brisk during the five day event. We counted 146 Corvettes available on the docket with 68 selling for a total of $2,879,150 and a sales success rate of 46%. Those are fairly strong numbers considering the economy.
The top selling Corvette was the 1954 EX-87 mule (Lot #F208) used by Zora to set a record at the Arizona proving grounds. The restored engineering car sold for $310,000. The second best seller is an auction favorite, a 1967 Corvette convertible (Lot #F236) powered by an 427/435 hp V8. Described as a matching numbers masterpiece, the Nabors Brothers restored C2 convertible has three NCRS Top Flight awards. The Lynndale Blue Corvette sold for $162,500. Third on the list was a 1958 Resto-mod (Lot #S33) that sold for $137,500. The C1 tubular frame Corvette is powered by a Z06 engine from an ’01 C5 and finished in a bright yellow exterior.
There were several significant Corvettes that failed to meet reserve during the 5-day auction and went unsold. The Corvette receiving the highest bid for Vettes during the entire weekend was a documented 1969 Fathom Green L88 427/430 Coupe (Lot #F229) that topped out at $425,000. A split-window 1963 Ermine White Corvette Z06 Tanker (Lot #S173) reached $300,000 and the very first Corvette on the 1960’s, 1960 Corvette roadster VIN #00001 reached $290,000.
