tMichaelis Corvette Perspective

This past January I attended eight (8) collector car auctions from Florida to Arizona. They were the Barrett-Jackson, Gooding, ICA, Kruse, Mecum, RM, Russo & Steele, and Silver auctions. We found that the quality of credible Corvette consignments is decreasing year by year as it is becoming more difficult for the auction companies to attract high quality credible Corvette consignments as good cars have been and are being consumed by the end user enthusiasts and car collectors. More on this topic at a later date but your thoughts and comments are, as always, welcomed. email: terry@proteamcorvette.com

Recently I asked David Burroughs his thoughts as they relate to “When to restore a Corvette”? We have recently sold some historically important unrestored, unmolested, low mile Corvettes that the customers are being urged by third party restoration shops to restore instead of preserve them. David’s response was very enlightening and is a great read if you like words and phrases like, vandalism, preservation, typical factory production, historically accurate, historic perfection, cosmetic perfection, DNA, Survivor®, Benchmark®, desirability, and value.
