Beach City Chevrolet Corvette Funny Car.
This one had a brutal life, it liked to explode at the top end in a ball of flames. The last go round the car swapped lanes, spun around backwards, went off the end of the track through a loose sand trap, trees and a chain link fence fully engulfed in flames. Continuing on it burned to the ground in the middle of a California Freeway. Driver, Ronnie Goodsell walked away the owner was charged by the California Highway Patrol for littering.

The 2024 January auctions are off to a flying start. Mecum Kissimmee just wrapped up nearly 2 weeks in Florida with in the neighborhood of 4,500 cars crossing the auction block. As of this writing, the overall top sale was a stunning 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder that commanded $17.87M. That’s a new record for the most expensive car ever sold by Mecum. In addition, another 15 lots also topped the $1M mark.
The final Kissimmee numbers aren’t published yet as we assemble this piece, but all indications are that this will be yet another record setting event for Mecum Auctions. Would those lofty numbers carry over into Corvette-land? Let’s take a look and find out.
The Corvette docket featured 465 Corvettes at our last count. All generations were represented with everything from daily drivers to exquisitely restored show cars. This could have potentially been the largest selection of Corvettes for sale ever in one spot. As we’ve come to expect from Mecum, they captured some of the very best out there. We saw multiple L88’s and 1963 Z06’s. They offered a pair of GM styling cars, the first fuel injected Corvette, and several of the most desirable options out there including ZR1, LT1, LS6, L71, L89, and more.
Our Top 11 listed actually contains 12 cars this time around. We made the accommodations as the top selling lot featured 2 Corvettes and 1 of the cars technically isn’t even a Corvette though it closely resembles one. We should note here that the red/red 1967 L88 did not sell when it crossed block, but it currently shows as sold on the Mecum website with no price listed. It’s safe to assume that the selling price would move that car into first or second place on our list. Since it’s not officially listed, we’ll keep it off our list. On to the numbers!
The top selling lot in Kissimmee was the first and last L88 collection which brought in $2,585,000 including commissions. The 2-for-1 sale got you the famous black 1967 Delorenzo L88 and the green 1969 L88 coupe in one shot. We were expecting this dynamic duo to bring $3M or more. 2nd place went to a sinister black on red 1963 big tank Z06 which found a new home at $935,000. Interestingly, 2 other Z06’s made their way in to the Top 11 at $770,000, and $385,000 respectively. The 1963 Harley Earl Styling Car rounded out the podium finishers with a $803,000 sale price.
Elsewhere on the Top 11 (ok, 12) list we see a 1969 L88 convertible change hands at $485,000. Dr. Mark Davis’ unrestored 1962 sold for a staggering $456,500. We didn’t look up numbers, but that’s got to be a record sale for a non-racer 1962 Corvette. An award winning red/red 1963 coupe rounded out the list with its $352,000 sale price. A one-off Kindig CF-1 sold for $770,000. It’s technically not a Corvette, but most people consider it to be one, so we’ll roll with that and include it here.
