Dana Mecum’s 37th Original Spring Classic is happening now as festivities got underway on May 10th at the Indianapolis State Fairgrounds. The massive auction runs all the way through May 18th. Over the 9-day event, 3,000 cars are expected to cross Mecum’s red carpet.
The diverse Indy docket includes a very special 2002 Corvette Z06 consigned by our good friends at Bloomington Gold. Lot T165 will be crossing the block on Thursday, May 16th with proceeds going to the Semper Fi and America’s Fund.
The Quicksilver 2002 Z06 was donated to Bloomington Gold by one of their longtime supporters. Bidding on this special C5 is a great way to support those who have served our country.
The Semper Fi and America’s Fund supports all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. It was founded by a compassionate group of military spouses to care for our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.
The Z06 wears Quicksilver paint over a striking black and red interior. It’s powered by the Z06-only LS6 engine putting out 405hp. A 6-speed manual transmission provides the proper for your street or track adventures. Other options include the Z06 Memory Package, a Bose AM/FM/CD stereo, Dual zone air conditioning, electro chromatic mirrors, and body side moldings. The sticker price was $50,900.
Today the car shows 50,000 miles and features a clean Carfax.
There’s no wrong way to support our miliary heroes so why not buy a Corvette? The Semper Fi and America’s Fund gets a substantial donation you get to park a new-to-you C5 in your garage! Win-Win!
