Nobody covers the Corvette markets better than CorvSport, and our Garage Queens series is just one of the many features we have to prove it! From our exclusive Wholesale Corvette Market Reports to our Listings We Love series, we are on top of the markets like no other. If you’d like to see all of them, along with our other fresh Corvette content, with one easy click, check out our new digital magazine, CORVETTE OBSESSED! [Author’s Note: This article is FREE and not behind a paywall. If/when any popups occur, please click to make them disappear and continue enjoying the article.]
Our top Corvette, that beautiful 1978 Pace Car, was first featured by us 9 months ago. Sometimes, 9 months can feel like a long time, and sometimes, years seem like they go by in a flash. But, I can tell you that as someone who has sold vehicles for 17 years as an owner/operator, 9 months is an eternity when trying to move metal.
Sure, these are collector-grade Corvettes, looking for just the right buyer and not your typical A to B transportation. But that dynamic does not change the reality of having tens of thousands of cash tied up in an asset that is designed to yield profit. And while many dealers do use floor plans to finance their inventory, that just opens up a new can of worms, like large interest fees, partial-payment deadlines, and evitably full payment (which usually occurs in months, not years).
As they say, the market has spoken, at least with these Queens, it has.
