McDorman Collection Auction - Standing Room Only

Though pushing 35 years old at the time of the sale, this yellow '76 Corvette had never been titled. It was a special-order car, too, with a white leather interior—the only yellow/white leather combo built that year. It sold for $29,000.

McDorman liked "numbers" cars, like this '69 427/435hp Vette, which also happened to carry serial number 0435 for the year. It sold for $67,000.

Many of the C6s in the collection carried serial number 0001 for their respective year, including this '08 model. It sold for essentially used-car money: $43,000.

The legacy of Zora Arkus-Duntov as the original owner didn't do much for the price of this '89 convertible, which sold for $20,000. Next to it was another essentially new C4 ZR-1, which had only 80 miles on its clock. Its $46,000 selling price should prove a bargain in a few years.

Another "serial number" car in the sale was number 0003 from 1971. It was an LS5 454 car, too, with factory A/C, which helped push its sale price to $47,500.

Most of the Corvettes that McDorman took in at his dealership and never sold retained all of their original delivery paperwork, including window stickers that had never been removed.

Serial number 0001 for 2001 was a red Z06. It had never been titled and sold for a healthy $49,000.

Although later C3s weren't known for outstanding performance, they were good-looking cars. This yellow '80 example was super clean and sold for $23,000.

The 750,000th Corvette was built in 1984 and featured a pre-release installation of the 4+3 transmission. It was basically in as-delivered condition and only had about 560 miles. It sold for $39,000.

Serial number 0001 for 1972 was this War Bonnet Yellow big-block coupe with an automatic and air conditioning. Selling price was $46,000.

McDorman liked pace-car replicas and had just about every Chevy model we could think of, including this '86 roadster, which also happened to be serial number 0001 that year. It sold for $40,000.

Two '96 Grand Sports were in the collection—a sub-100-mile coupe that sold for $53,000 and this "high-mile" convertible with 3,000 miles. It sold for $43,000.
