Greetings, and welcome to a new series where we highlight the Top 5 most interesting Corvettes that have recently sold around our community. We love to follow the markets here at CorvSport, even more so as the sales environment became tumultuous heading into 2020. This has been a bizarre time for enthusiasts, as the C8’s popularity (combined with supply chain issues and increased discretionary spending) created a dynamic where we saw used values increasing exponentially. And, let’s not forget about Chevrolet dealers consistently asking (and receiving) over MSRP on brand new Corvettes, even for entry-level trims.
As we enter the second half of 2024 and the dust from this market chaos begins to settle, now it’s even more interesting than ever to follow the markets. Which markets are still red hot, and which are starting to cool off and normalize? Our hope is that this bi-monthly snapshot will give our readers an idea of what’s going on. Also, we are great about highlighting and bringing our CorvSport audience the most interesting Corvettes for sale around the country, but the ultimate sale is often never reported. As a bonus feature, each episode of “The Top 5 Most Interesting…” will also include archives of our exclusive bi-monthly wholesale auction report, titled “Most Notable Wholesale Corvette Auction Sales And Those That Failed To Sell.”
Without further ado, let’s dive into our inaugural edition with our Top 5 Most Interesting Sales!
