America’s preeminent Corvette Auction, the Gold Auction at Bloomington Gold was held June 16-17 in St. Charles, Illinois and over 300 Corvettes crossed the auction block with 56% of the Corvettes selling. To say that I am disappointed that many of the Star cars did not sell is an understatement, but that is a subject that I will be addressing later. With an A-List of Corvettes available including two 1967 L-89 Corvettes (16 produced) and a 1967 L-88 (20 Produced) and the #005 1953 Corvette commonly referred to as the DuPont Corvette, who would have thought the top selling Corvette for the weekend would be a pink 1964 GM Style car that was originally built for the wife of Chevrolet’s Bunkie Knudsen. That Corvette sold for $367,500. Also topping the $300K mark was the #9 1955 Corvette Roadster which sold for $346,500. What I think the bigger news about Bloomington Gold is the list of Corvettes that didn’t sell. The Marlboro Maroon 1967 L-89 Convertible reached a high bid of $400,000 and the 1967 Green L-88 Coupe topped out at $340,000. A 1968 L-89 only reached $65,000 in bidding and was a no sale. The Corvette with the highest bid that failed to sell was the 1962 White Corvette racer built by Zora to be raced at Sebring by a Dallas Chevy dealer. Bidding for that Corvette reached $900,000. There did appear to be many good deals available. Over 65 Corvettes sold under the $20,000 threshold including some early C3’s. Results appear after the jump.Here is the list of Corvettes that were sold at the Bloomington Gold Auction. We will post the list of non-selling Corvettes tomorrow.

  1. What do you think was the reason why the top selling car was the pink 1964 GM Style Corvette?

  2. First, the Pink 1964 Corvette was a GM style car, which makes it a rare factory collectable. Most style cars never make it out to the public either. They are usually used by the factory for a particular purpose and then destroyed. Style cars usually have options not on regular production corvettes including unique colors. I think that also the fact that this car is pink and was driven by the wife of a chevrolet executive also boosts its value.

    However, the point my post was that there were much more valuable Corvettes that crossed the auction block in Bloomington, some worth triple the selling price of the Pink ’64, but it seems the bids weren’t high enough. So, the Pink ’64 became top selling Corvette in spite of the fact that the more valuable Corvettes didn’t sell.
