Barrett-Jackson’s inaugural Orange County auction went pretty well despite being held the same weekend as Mecum’s Bloomington Gold auction. The choice of Corvettes at the OC auction was on par with previous Barrett-Jackson events as the docket contained a nice mix of classics, resto-mods and several late model Corvettes. At the end of the three day no-reserve auction, the sales from the 31 Corvettes combined for $1,799,300.
The top seller was ironically, a Bloomington Gold 1967 427/435hp Corvette roadster which sold for $181,500. We say ironically because that was a better price than any of the midyear Corvettes received at the Bloomington Gold auction. The ’67 Corvette is a matching numbers, Riverside Red convertible equipped with power steering, a rare option for an L71 Corvette.
Some other Corvettes of interest: A 2001 Corvette Commemorative Edition tied for second at $110,000. The Commemorative Edition is an aftermarket conversion to give the front end of C5 the same classic look of a ’53 Corvette. Selling for $99,000 was this resto-mod sleeper, a black 1962 roadster powered by LS3 “Cammer” rated at 480hp/475lb-ft. Yea, she’s fast enough for you old man.
