Classic Corvette Auction Prep Services
Are you thinking about Buying or Selling a Classic, Vintage, Show or Collector Corvette?
There are 4 main avenues to selling your Corvette.
- Private Party
- Wholesale Dealer
- On Consignment
- Public Auction
Below, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method so that you can make the right choice based on your personal situation.
Rest easy! We have helped many sell their Classic Corvette and we can do the same for you.
Are you considering purchasing or selling a Vintage Corvette at a collector car auction? Or, are you thinking about selling a car you own or inherited and someone you know suggested a consignment?
As an existing client of the large auction houses ourselves, we can help guide you through the Corvette Buying or Selling Process which is unique to auctions. We can share with you the secrets (the ends and outs) that the auction houses and dealers don’t generally share.
Most, but not all, auctions houses serve a specific clientele. The larger the auction house, the more likely you will find a broad mix of vehicles at many price points, anywhere from $5K into the millions. Smaller auction houses generally have inventory under $200K.
Knowing the Corvette Buying and Selling Process is the first step in maximizing your return (if selling) or getting the best bang for your buck (if buying).

Experience Shows...
Unwanted Inventory
Some sellers use auctions to unload unwanted inventory. The ability of a potential buyer who may not be a classic corvette expert to conduct thorough due diligence is limited at an auction, principally because you cannot perform a test drive, put the vehicle on a lift or speak with the seller in many cases. Sellers with something to hide will never be at the vehicle to answer questions.
