An L88 Corvette is used to shaking the world around it, but at the Mecum High Performance Auction in St. Charles, Illinois last weekend, an extremely low mile one owner 1969 Corvette L88 shook the auction world by selling for $446,250.

One of the most dominating Corvettes in auto racing history was sold over the weekend at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach Auction for an astounding $1.485 million. Grady Davis' Gulf Oil Racing Team purchased the Corvette in 1962 from Yenko Chevrolet. In 14 races, the Gulf Oil '62 Corvette finished first in class 12 times including wins at Daytona and Sebring and captured the 1962 A-Production Championship.

A matched set of Corvettes were sold this weekend by RM Auctions. Included in the set were a 1953 Corvette, a 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette and a commemorative 1953 Corvette Pedal Car. What makes this package unique is the serial numbers for each of the three cars was #39. The Corvettes were sold to Proteam Corvette for $390,500.

Despite a decrease of 40 Corvettes or so over last year's totals, and especially the lack of big block 1967 Corvettes, the auction still pulled in slightly over $11 million in Corvette sales.

A rare 1967 L71 427/435 Corvette Coupe Sting Ray known as Black 'N Blue sold for $393,750 at the Mecum's High Performance Auction in St. Charles, Illinois in early October 2007. Only four documented '67 Sting Rays are known to share this very rare exterior color combination.

1953 Corvettes continue to fetch big money at collector car auctions around the country. Over the weekend, a 1953 Corvette hit the auction block at Hilton Head's Concourse d'Elegance and sold for $440,000, a figure that ties the high price set earlier this year for the first year mark at the McMullen auction in Detroit.
