Mecum is Bringing These Corvettes to Las Vegas on November 9-11

Mecum Auctions will be taking over the Las Vegas Convention Center for its seventh annual collector car auction on November 9-11. Collector car enthusiasts will have 1,000 reasons to watch and bid with a variety of American muscle cars, classics, hot rods, and of course, plenty of Corvettes offered at the event.

Las Vegas is always a fun city to visit, and with Mecum Auctions in town, roll the dice and let the fun begin!

The Corvette consignments at Mecum’s Las Vegas auction are impressive with more than 40 Corvettes covering all eight generations. In addition to the individual sellers bringing in their cars to sell, you’ll also want to watch the five No-Reserve Corvettes that will be sold from a Private No Reserve Collection. Highlights of the collection include a 1972 454 Coupe and a Torch Red 2022 Corvette Stingray.

The current breakdown of Corvettes consigned to Las Vegas is below with C2 and C3 Corvettes leading the way. Mecum always does well in bringing in the classics and restored vehicles, but the Las Vegas auction also attracts its fair share of restomods and modern day sports cars with high performance vehicles tuned by Hennessey and Callaway, while all eyes will be on the Saturday sale of a 2023 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 Performance Package and Carbon Fiber wheels.
