GM reported March sales of America’s sports car set its best mark in three months with 955 Corvettes delivered. That mark is 331 more than February and 101 more than January. We’re glad to see the figure moving upwards but calendar year to date sales (Jan-Mar) are still -20% down from the same time period a year ago. [More]

Barrett-Jackson's Palm Beach Corvette Auction Schedule

The Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction this weekend in Palm Beach sort of snuck up on me so I’m sorry I didn’t get the schedule published sooner. The Palm Beach auction features 48 Corvettes and 1 Corvette-powered boat. The three day auction is being carried on the SPEED network and you’ll also be able to watch online. Like always, we’re working with SPEED to bring you some of the best and most interesting auctions. [More]


First Corvette Z06 Carbon to be Auctioned Off Saturday

The first retail model of only 500 2011 Z06 Carbon Corvettes will be auctioned off this Saturday at the Palm Beach Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction.

In keeping with tradition, GM normally sends the very first production vehicle to Barrett-Jackson. Like the first ZR1 and Camaro, the Carbon Z06 will soon follow suit.

The very last Corvette to have hit the auction floor was the limited edition Z06, which ended up raising $200,000 to help with the Haiti disaster relief efforts.

It ought to be interesting to see how much the Z06 Carbon will go for…  it is a hot ride.
