It is not just this sale where C5's are starting to bring money. There were some big prices in Kissimmee for the Mecum sale. A 2004 Z06 with 1500 miles brought $39,000 which the seller turned down. Was looking for $45,000. This is why the article was written and may well become the new reality.

Top 12 Corvettes were all C1&2s. With the only known blue/black 427 roadster hitting the 847k mark.

Amazing isn't it? In 1970 while stationed at Ft Rucker Alabama I bought a forest green VW bug, brand new, off the dealers lot. Thought I was really doing well, this one even had a gas guage . I still recall the exact price on that bug, $1839.00. Commonly see nice bug examples around 15k and north of that. I don't know if you have seen the prices on the earlier VW buses, especially the split window/21 window versions. I've seen them approaching and sometimes over the 100K mark! At our last all make cruise in there was a guy selling a run of the mill bus, complete but an awful lot of rust, really a hatchet job, he was asking for the bargain basement price of 28K
, and he had a lot of interest. Who woulda thunk! Its amazing sometimes what will capture the car buying crowds interest and what they will pay. Best wishes!

Here is a couple more Barrett-Jackson sales. North East Sale
1998 Indy Pace Car edition 4,182 miles $30,800
2004 Z06 17,000 miles $31,900
Keep in mind, on top of these prices, the buyer pays a 10% buyers fee adding more than $3,000 in both cases.

I would have guessed $15,000-16,000. Barrett Jackson always brings more for a car...never would have guessed 22k.

I tried selling my 650whp Mallett Z06 at Mecum Chicago in 2015 and it struggled to bring 27k. And it was a 13,000 mile car with 60k of upgrades! needless to say I took it back home with with me! Ended up selling it private party last summer for 35K
