One of the sweetest ’67 Corvette resto-mods you’ll ever see is up for sale at Garage Kept Motors, a Grand Rapids, Michigan dealership that specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales for buyers and sellers.
One of the great joys of being an Average Joe in America lies in the ability to play armchair quarterback and openly criticize – often after the fact – the people out there making decisions. Only a crazy person would even want to imagine themself holding public office, but it can be extremely satisfying to put on your make-believe NFL GM/Head Coaching pants or pretend to helm a major organization. It should come as no surprise that your friendly neighborhood CorvetteBloggers tend to frequent the imaginary C-Suite of the General Motors Corporation.
Today we are in Central Florida as Mecum is hosting a special “CORVETTE DAY” at Mecum Kissimmee 2024! CorvetteBlogger and our friends from the CORVETTE TODAY Podcast, Vette Views Magazine, and the folks at Bloomington Gold will all be there, and Mecum will be providing us with a “behind-the-scenes” tour of the venue. We’ll also have the opportunity to meet with some of the high-end consigners who are selling their Corvettes at the event.
So far in the four-year history of the eighth-generation Corvette, we’ve grown accustomed to “98k” referring to the price of the car.

As the 2024 Mecum Kissimmee auction rolls on, we’re beginning to see how the Corvette market could shape up this year. This high end 1966 convertible restomod is one of the top Corvette sellers so far this week in Florida.
Mecum’s monster Kissimmee auction rolls on through the end of this week. With well over 4,000 cars on deck, there’s something for everyone down in central Florida. We’ve already taken a look at several of the 465+ Corvettes on the docket including the Red/Red 1967 L88 coupe and the first and last L88’s offered as a single lot.
![[VIDEO] Corvette Academy: 2024 Corvette E-Ray - A First of its Kind](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2024/010924_4b.jpg)
Chevrolet has a new video in its Corvette E-Ray Academy series which details some of the features and equipment that makes the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray “one like none.”
The new Academy video features several Chevrolet and Corvette team members discussing the new performance hybrid sports car. My favorite quote in the video comes from Chevrolet Marketing Director Brad Franz who says, “Not many times in a career do you have the opportunity to take such an iconic car and take it to the next level of performance.”
You can see all the Corvette Academy videos for the 2024 Corvette E-Ray here.
Do we have another issue impacting the building of Corvettes at the Corvette Assembly Plant?

We’ve seen several videos from Hennessey Performance with their stock 2023 Corvette Z06, and our last post showed they were selling the car on eBay Motors for a whopping $230,000. We just checked that older listing and see that the car has been relisted several times and it’s currently still for sale on the auction website.
Chevy officially kicked off production of the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray back in December with the completion of the first three customer cars, and now this week is when production of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray is really expected to get moving. You can enter to win the first performance hybrid Corvette from the non-profit International Motor Racing Research Center at Watkins Glen when you make a donation of $25 or more to support racing history.
