Default Corvette Expo

This fall Corvette Expo will offer free secured parking for Corvettes attending the event at the new Sevierville Events center.They are giving away a 1980 customized vette to one lucky attendee too.
Byron and Ronnie seem to be trying to get this event back to it's glory days. here's the link to the club special newsletter.

Never been, but I am considering driving over this fall. Since I am interested in attending primarily to look for a 69-72 small block car to buy, what can I expect from the car corral and the auction as far as cars for sale? Autofair was a bust in the fall for acceptable cars for sale. What has been your experience at Corvette Expo the last few years?

I'm looking forward to driving to the Expo's new location. My friend is going to run his '82 with 19,000 miles on it through the auction. This could be interesting.

Glad I found this. I didn't know the Vette Expo was being held on the 19 & 20th. We will be just a few days short of having our '08, but we'll definitely be there. Thanks, Steve.

The car corral may or may not fill your needs. There are usually quite a few cars there, but predicting exactly what will be there is tough. There is also the auction on Saturday. They usually have about 75 cars entered in that, all cars over 25 years old.
