Mecum just wrapped up their two day auction in Des Moines, Iowa last weekend and 25 Corvettes were offered for sale. Only nine Corvettes were sold for a total of $248.650 and a 36% sales success rate. The high sale goes to a 1957 Corvette roadster with a 283 hp fuelie that gaveled for $77,500. On the low side, a 1974 driver with just under 48K miles sold for $5,000 proving once again that sellers are motivated in this difficult environment.
