 Monterey's Top Ten Corvettes
Monterey, California, becomes the epicenter of the collector car world every August. This year, six auctions resulted in $134m in sales. Here are the top ten Corvettes that changed hands. |
Corvette of the Month-1967 Corvette 427/435 L71
 Thomas Glatch looks at a 1967 Corvette 427/435 L71 convertible that sold for $436,000 at the Mecum
Auction at Bloomington Gold in St. Charles, Illinois, on June 16. The
price came in a bit below what was expected for this Roby Price car,
but considering it is not as rare as the L88 or L89, plus it was restored
to boot, the result cannot be considered a dissapointment. |
Bloomington Gold to Offer Cross-Country Tours
 Bloomington Gold and
Corvette N' America Tours have announced a joint venture to lead
Corvette owners on scenic cross-country tours. Trips include treks
to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Colorado's Rocky
Mountains, and will be planned to coincide with several major
automotive events along the way. Read the complete article here.
