Steal, borrow and beg to get your hands on one of these rare C2s
Volo Auto Museum in Illinois has been around since the 1960s, and today they are one of the largest privately-owned classic car dealers in the world, selling over 1,000 vehicles per year. This week, one of the founder’s personal collection of 1963–1967 Corvettes were officially offered for sale.
Volo Auto Museum co-founder Greg Grams has been buying and selling classic C2 Corvettes for 50 years, and his passion has been for the midyear sport coupes with air conditioning.
“I remember the thrill of driving those ‘Vettes and beating them up in the summer with the windows cracked because there was no A/C. It was fun until you came to a stop sign, and the breeze stopped,” Greg Grams said in the press release.
“Back then, you could buy one new for around $4,000, and air conditioning was a $500 add-on option, so only a handful of people spent that kind of money to upgrade to factory A/C, power steering and windows.”
The Corvettes being offered for sale range from the highly collectible 1963 Split Window Coupes to the big dog 1967 Corvettes with the 427 V8. Each of these hand-picked Corvettes has been inspected, decoded, and documented.
The value of these Corvettes ranges from $80,000 to $250,000.
Greg’s son Jay is the Volo Museum auto sales director, and he remembers back in the day how his dad started selling Corvettes:
“My dad was selling these Corvettes in the early 1970s as used cars, typically in the $3,000 range,” Volo Museum auto sales director Jay Grams said in a press release. “I used to ride in the back at 3 and 4 years old with no car seat, seat belt, or actual seat!”
Greg was asked how he would feel if the entire collection wasn’t sold, and his response was typical of those held by car guys who know what they have.
“I’m not too worried about that, but if they don’t, I get to enjoy them a little longer, and they will be worth even more the next time I put them up for sale.”
