Thanks for the thoughtful article you posted. You are not alone in being dismayed at this proposed move by GM.

Are they getting auctioned at the BJ auction this month or some of the later shows?

Well, the exact time/date and actual cars being offered are being kept quiet as usual but they are supposed to be in this nexty week's auction.

Ive been trying to put together a bulk purchase behind the scenes so that we can keep some of the more important icons within the community. Trying to reach Jim Perkins at Hendricks but not haveing much luck as of yet getting an email address.
Any help would be most appreciated.

These cars are very important to the Corvettes heritage and need to be at the NCM if/when it is ready for such displays. Too bad a fund couldn't be maintained at the NCM for just such opportunities.

Hi,
Yes, it is not to pleasing for me to see them go off into the sunset, with so much history behind these cars. They really do need to be displayed in a "Public Place" where future generations of corvette owners can see where the corvette came from, and the evolution of a great car.

These cars will most likely be bought up by collectors and will never see the light of day again, not by people looking to preserve the tradition behind the corvette.

Its not just about the a car, but the people, and friends that are made by something we have all grown to love.

Yes, very sad day when they will be sold....
And to answer your question....PRICELESS.......

Good post, sad topic.
