Isn't that the one they were working on when we had the CruiseFest there?

 

[Tom Bryant]

It was on display in the museum. The Aerovette was the one in the shop on the rack. That's another one that needs to go to the GM Heritage Collection. I really wonder how these cars ever got away from GM in the first place.

Monday Corvettes

The early days of any auction are known to be the time to pick up an affordable collector car. I was somewhat surprised at the high prices of some cars early in the week at Barrett-Jackson but I feel that plays into the strong market right now. Let's take a look at some sales on Monday starting with this 1982 Corvette that hammered for $10,780. It was a really nice appearing silver/charcoal 2-tone showing 65,000 miles. The fact that the Carfax fhowed an accident with another car may have held it back some. Lot#20

Lot# 21 was a 1979 L82 4 speed in dark blue metallic with an oyster interior. It was a nice looking car with a metric speedometer showing kilometers as the big numbers. Sale price was $11,000.

Lot# 35 was a well equipped 1980 that sold for $10,450. It was painted a light blue that doesn't show up on the list of colors for 1980 but would be a nice driver.

Lot# 93 was a 1993 ZR1 in green with a tan interior and a little over 60,000 miles showing. It was well bought for $15,400.

Lot # 97 was a 1997 red/red 6 speed with 65,000 miles showing. Even with the Carfax showing some sort of accident reported it was a very nice looking car.
