We are fresh off the heels of another Mecum auction, and with only three left for their 2025 season, enthusiasts were eager to flock to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for Mecum’s Indy Fall Special. CorvSport is the authority when it comes to covering the Corvette market, from our exclusive wholesale features to our ‘In The CorvSport Ring’ series, where we analyze reserve versus no-reserve auctions to learn which are bringing more money. We have a sample of our exclusive market features below. Today’s Mecum coverage, along with the majority of CorvSport’s digital content, is FREE and not behind a paywall. When any pop-ups appear, please click to dismiss them and continue enjoying the article.

You’ll note in our exclusive Mecum Tracker below that the Corvettes offered in 2025 are down across many venues versus 2024. For instance, Mecum’s season opener in 2024 offered enthusiasts 527 Corvettes, while in 2025 inventory was down to 477 ‘Vettes, a 9.5% reduction. However, despite the lower inventory, a whopping 80% of those 477 Corvettes were hammered off to new owners, compared to 72% in 2024. Here is the tracker, so you can play with the analytics yourself.
