Lot #1291.1

With NCRS Top Flight and Blooming Gold awards this was one fine 1967. Showing less than 23,000 miles this 427/390 4 speed is just barely broken in. Sell price was $165,000.

Lot#1296

One of my favorite Corvettes of the auction, this 1958 was a class act with the billet wheels that resemble the original wheel covers and the low profile white wall tires. With a LS3 and 4 speed automatic this one brought $151,800.

I know the majority of Corvette gearheads love the Stinger hood but I have to say... I've always preferred the 66 hump...

It has a more integrated look. I remember the first 1965 396 that was delivered to the local dealer. That hood just blew me away.

Lot#1322.1

The perfect 1967 427 cruiser. With the 390 horsepower, Powerglide, power steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning and both tops this would be a good car for hot or cool drives. Another $104,500. purchase.

Lot #1358

This custom 1958 was named Eye Candy and it most definitely was. For power it has a 6.2-liter 556hp LSA supercharged engine with 5-speed and an Art Morrison chassis. Unfortunately the engine was hidden under a cover of the type that seem to be so popular these days and you couldn't see the good stuff. The hammer dropped at $225,500.

Lot #1363

Now we get to the Mickey Thompson 1963 Z06 that I previewed in post 1 of this thread. $247,500. was the magic number and worth every penny in my opinion.

Lot #1369

Here's a great 1969 L88. This was one of the few reserve cars at the auction and the bid price did not meet the reserve so it was not sold. I can't say it better than the Barrett-Jackson catalog description so here it is.

This is one of 116 1969 L88s produced. This Corvette is equipped with a 427/430hp L88 with factory side pipes, and the original red line tires that came on the car. With only 16,482 original miles, this car has undergone a rotisserie restoration by Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair. The car achieved a Triple Diamond status in 2013 with a NCRS Top Flight Award, Bloomington Gold Award and was also featured in the February 2015 issue of 'Vette magazine. The car was originally delivered to Jennings Chevrolet in Glenview, IL. It is equipped with the following features as delivered: L88 heavy-duty engine, M22 heavy-duty transmission, J56 heavy-duty brakes, heavy-duty suspension, K66 ignition, N14 side-mounted exhaust, alarm system, red line tires and LeMans Blue with black vinyl interior. This particular car has the original engine, transmission and the rear assembly still intact, as well as all the factory fiberglass. (Barrett-Jackson)
