After a record-setting 2024 Mecum Kissimmee extravaganza, many enthusiasts’ eyes were on Mecum’s “encore” auction, which just wrapped up in Glendale, Arizona. The numbers from Kissimmee were stunning and impossible to match, with a whopping 72% of the 527 Corvettes offered at the rural Florida event selling. The Mecum Kissimmee auction was so remarkable that we covered it extensively and have included our article archives below.

Mecum’s encore event at Glendale, Arizona, featured 136 Corvettes, ranging all generations, with the second-generation leading the charge at 47 examples offered for bidding. With 64% of the 136 Corvettes at Glendale hammering off to a new owner, Kissimmee remains the undisputed champion for 2024.

While top-dollar sales are worth noting, and we have a few on this list, there were less expensive but more interesting Corvettes at Glendale that grabbed our attention. So, without further ado, here are the top 7 most interesting Corvette sales from 2024 Mecum Glendale.

#6

$47,300

♦ I’ve watched these one-year-only C4 Grand Sports climb in value over the last two decades, and the LT4, in concert with the white stripes over admiral blue paint, makes for a special and collectible Corvette.

#5

$71,500

#4

$154,000

♦ This was the cheapest of two Z06s that hammered at Glendale (with only seven total C8s), and with only 89 miles and a fully intact warranty, the $154,000 seems to be an indication the C8 Z06 market is cooling off. While both Z06s hammered off to new owners, only two of the entry-level Stingray models sold, for an overall C8 sales percentage of 57%.

#1

$1,815,000

♦ It would be an injustice not to give the top seller at Glendale the top spot for most interesting Corvette sold, and it certainly helps that the top dog has that remarkable L88. For a review of what makes the L88 so special and the first and last L88 duo from Mecum Kissimmee, click our CorvSport feature here.
