Hi all, just purchased my first ever corvette (hopefully not my last) been told the first owner may of been Country music singer Alan Jackson. Does anyone know if he's a corvette fan? Carfax shows it was sold out of walkers chevrolet in Tennessee. If it is in deed true does this increase the cars value? should I hang onto it if so?

That and $3 should get you a cup of coffee.

It would be a very cool story to tell, but it doesn't do anything for resale value.

Definitely worth more than Jon Voight's LeBaron convertible.

I like this Lebaron.


1934 Packard LeBaron

Ut oh.......rumor has it "celebrity" cars cost more to repair.

BLUDICE

Insurance is definitely MUCH higher on former celebrity cars -

Alan who?

dmaxx3500

did he crash it on the way to rehab?

Cool to know but it won't make it any more valuable. We have a guy in our club that has a C5 that David Nelson had owned.

After being to more then a few Barrette-Jackson auctions where 'celebrity' vehicles have been auctioned and reading about how much those of others have gone for, I've learned a couple of things. First and for most, you need to have undisputed proof said celebrity owned the vehicle (pictures of them with it, a copy of an old title or registration with their name, a vehicle history report showing they owned it at some point, etc.) before it means anything to anybody. Second, unless is was owned by a huge celebrity with an enormously large fan base, the car may go for a few dollars more if you can find the right fan. The only exception to this I've seen is when a celebrity has put their vehicles up for auction and the proceeds went to a charity..in those cases, all bets are off, people bid higher when it's for a charity. Vehicles owned by extremely popular celebrities who, for lack of words, have a fanatical fan base may bring a little more, if they (the celebrity) were/are a car/speed enthusiast as well, so much the better; a few examples would be vehicles owned by Elvis Presley, Paul Newman, Richard Petty Sr., etc. I bet even a vehicle owned by Jay Leno or Tim Allen, both known vehicle enthusiasts/collectors as well as being stars, would go for a few dollars over current market.

I just read the title of an article that some vehicle some Kardashian owned sold in one day. I didn't read it nor did I care. I think she got it from Jon Voight.

It was John, not Jon

Maybe he got ALLEN Jackson's old vette.

You're right. The periodontist friend of Tim Whatley.

A dentist.
