Very nice cars. I’m surprised the 53 didn’t do better. Sold for $160k.

Looks to me like the hobby - and interest in Corvettes - is alive and well. B-J has more entries this year than last, and that's will Mecum having their largest even the week before and 4 other auctions in the Scottsdale area at the same time.

Thanks for the pics!

Cristy is on other shows and is supposedly busy and on the road.

The new lady looks and sounds like someone’s Mom. I’m expecting her to pull up in a minivan soon. I guess she was reporting on NHRA or something.

I thought that was light for that car, too.

Is it typical for Jeff Hayes restomod builds to bring double the value of the normal LS custom restomod builds? There are some very nice C2 LS restos with C6 chassis gear for $200K. Jeff Hayes build with same gear brings $400+ C2's Wow.

I'm just a lower level hobbiest, but that seemed low to me, too. So it wasn't just me that thought that that one seemed below market for a '53?

Speaking of stingers, did you see the awful non-'67s with a stinger hood that was painted saddle tan? Now that about made me lose my lunch......

They had a lot of really nice cars there at the high end. A couple of black 63 coups went for between $230k to $340k they were resto mods. Both very well done. The one car with the odd stinger was a nice car but I'm not sure why they chose that color. One interesting point is that the silver restomod with the satin burgundy stinger sold last year for, I think, $300 plus but resold this year for mid hundreds... still a nice price...
Some more pictures:








Cheesy, but neat to get a picture with this 92 year old.

Agreed. I like the originals, but man, some of the resto-mods and customs sure make you want to drive them. Modern tech in a gorgeous body.
