Thank you, faithful readers, for joining another installment of CorvSport’s bi-monthly series, where we highlight the Top 5 most interesting Corvettes that have recently sold around our community. We diligently follow the markets here at CorvSport, and they became even more interesting as the sales environment turned tumultuous heading into 2020. This has been a wild ride 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 fly through the second half of 2024 and the dust from this market madness 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 “This Week’s Top Corvette Wholesale Auction Sales And Those That Failed To Sell.”

Here are this week’s Top 5 Most Interesting Sales!
