The personal car belonging to legendary General Motor's automotive designer Harley Earl was a no sale at Mecum's 2009 Bloomington Gold auction. The Corvette convertible was the main attraction on Saturday where it was introduced with great fanfare. Bidding started at $400,000 for the custom Sting Ray and quickly climbed to the high bid of $985,000 before stalling. The auctioneer proclaimed a no sale (Mecum's the bid goes on) as the seller set the reserve at $1.3 million.
