These are the thirty-nine 1970 (nine cars), 1971 (seven cars), and 1972 (twenty-three cars), that crossed the auction block during Mecum's 2025 auction, January 7-19 in Kissimmee, Florida.
As you will see, the marketplace appears strong, with the great majority of C3s selling, most of them for respectable amounts.
Also worth noting are the higher-than-normal reserve prices. And NO, I am not privvy to that information, but the fact that sellers are not willing to drop the reserve even when the bidding has reached a respectable amount, is a good indicator.
In other words, sellers are willing to hang on to their cars and wait until the right buyer appears.
So, if 1970 through 1972 chrome bumper Corvettes are your thing, I made this video for you.
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍🏻
