Corvette Auction Preview: Mecum Anaheim

Mecum Auctions takes their quest to sell every car ever produced west this weekend for their inaugural Anaheim, California event. Around 70 Corvettes are up for adoption this Thursday through Saturday as part of the 800 car docket. You can watch 18 hours of live coverage of the event on Velocity.

Corvettes make up close to 10% of the auction catalog. All 6 generations will be represented with C1?s and C2?s representing about 50% of the Corvettes available. The breakdown by generation looks like this: 17 C1?s, 25 C2?s, 14 C3?s, 7 C4?s, 3 C5?s, and a trio of C6?s. Earlier this week told you about the 1969 L88 convertible crossing the block on Saturday. Some other sick whips being offered include a black 1960 roadster believed to have 70 original miles on it, a stunning 1962 fuelie, and a silver 1963 fuelie coupe in addition to a pair of fine unrestored 1967?s in the Survivor Collection.
