Mecum’s Kansas City auction was held Friday and Saturday at the Kansas City Convention Center and the results were very favorable. Of the 46 Corvettes on the sales docket, 37 were sold which is a 80.4% success ratio. For a reserve-based auction, this is very good. Total Corvette sales for the auction was $1,096,750.
Leading the pack of Corvettes were the two Karl Kustom C6 Corvettes we featured last week. These C6’s were rebodied with a retro style similar to the 1967 Convertible and 1963 Split-Window Coupe. Both of these Corvettes were sold for $125,000. Third on the top selling list was a 1964 race car featuring a 565 cubic inch engine with 1250+ hp. The yellow drag Corvette, which runs the quarter mile in 7 seconds, was scooped up for $81,000.
Of the no-sales, a Black 2009 Corvette ZR1 reached a high-bid of $116,000. No doubt the owner was looking to get more than the $119,251 sticker price and we suspect that there was a market adjustment that put the price higher than MSRP. Overall, the lack of true collector Corvettes probably contributed to the higher sales ratio as prices seem to be average at best.
