Nearly 50 Corvettes crossed the auction block between Thursday September 22nd and Saturday the 24th at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino as their 40th Anniversary tour winds down.
The Corvette docket contained 1st through 5th generation Corvettes this time around. All of which were being offered at no reserve. Take a look at some cool custom Vettes which were up for grabs.
Lot #660.2 1960 Custom Corvette Convertible
This wild yellow and red C1 rides on a Predator tube chassis. Power comes via a C6 Corvette LS2 attached to a Tremec 5-speed transmission. The interior features red leather, A/C, and power windows. Exterior touches include polished C4 suspension pieces and Flaming River steering.
Lot #667 1967 Custom Corvette Coupe: This sinister ’67 coupe rides on an Art Morrison chassis with C4 front suspension, Ford 9″ rear end with 3.83 gears, and 4-bar suspension out back. A LS2 with custom coated headers exhales through side exhaust. Wilwood brakes with drilled and slotted rotors provide stopping power. The tan custom interior includes a custom tilt & telescopic steering column, Dakota Digital keyless entry system and a Kenwood DVD, CD, MP3, and Navigation system. The auction listing states:” TITLED AS A 2010 ASSEMBLED** **NOT EMISSIONS COMPLIANT, CAN ONLY BE SOLD TO A DEALER OR OUT-OF-STATE BUYER**”. Guess this means that what you buy in Vegas can’t stay in Vegas.
Lot #71.2 1973 Custom Corvette Convertible: By 1973 emissions controls and insurance premiums had decimated the muscle car movement. Base engine horsepower had fallen to 190. That power issue has been rectified in this crazy 1973 roadster. Motivation now comes from a 502 Ram Jet motor backed by a Richmond 6-speed transmission. Chrome Hooker side pipes provide the soundtrack while driving. The yellow exterior is complimented by the snazzy two-tone yellow and black interior. Magazine coverage of this creation includes Corvette Enthusiast and Vette magazines.
