Market commentary
Mecum Auctions'' ability to generate excitement was nowhere better shown than with this Corvette. Displayed in Mecum''s "Vault" Plexiglass enclosure, escorted onto the block by family members and presented with deserved fanfare, it may not have been the highest-selling car of the Spring Classic, but it was surely the most hyped, and it worked, bringing a stand-alone price of nearly three-quarters of a million dollars all in. The result is all about the originality, preservation and the story that goes with the car.
