As the Indianapolis 500 rolls around once more, so too does the buzz surrounding Mecum’s annual Spring Classic—an event now marking its 38th year. Synonymous with high-octane bidding and charismatic auctioneers, Mecum Indy 2025 is set to deliver once again, this time unleashing a stunning lineup of front-engine Corvettes destined to steal the spotlight.
Among the highlights is Dr. Mark Davis’ exceptional Corvette collection—an assemblage of meticulously preserved examples that have never needed restoration. Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and Las Vegas Aces, is a longtime enthusiast of “America’s Sports Car,” and his offerings at this year’s auction are a rare opportunity to acquire some of the most original examples in existence.
No matter where your passion lies, Mecum’s Spring Classic promises something special for every Corvette aficionado.
‘Torch Red’ 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible – 5,705 Miles
A pristine Torch Red 2004 Corvette Convertible will cross the block with just 5,705 miles on the odometer. Originally purchased new by Alexandra “Sandy” Davis of Clifton Park, New York, the car remained under her meticulous care until acquired by Davis in 2022.
Built in Bowling Green on September 4, 2003, and delivered to Fuccillo Chevrolet in New York, this C5 remains virtually untouched, retaining all factory components aside from new tires and a replacement battery.
It comes with complete documentation, including the original window sticker, build sheet, owner’s manual in leather pouch, instructional CD, showroom brochures, and more. With its factory originality and impeccable provenance, this is a true collector-grade C5
‘Silver Pearl’ 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe – A Preservation Legend
Dubbed “Silver Pearl,” this 1967 Corvette Coupe may be one of the finest preserved examples on the planet. Showing just 32,219 miles, the car remains nearly entirely original—only routine items like tires, battery, and a radiator hose have been replaced.
Built in April 1967 at the St. Louis plant and delivered to Hauser Chevrolet in Pennsylvania, it was initially a demo model before being sold that fall. The original owner stored the car in a climate-controlled environment for nearly four decades. Documentation includes everything from the window sticker to dealership keychains.
Recognized with some of the highest honors in the collector world—including the HVA’s All Time Preservation award and Best in Class at both Hilton Head and Greenbrier Concours d’Elegance—this car also served as a benchmark example for NCRS judging standards. Its accolades include Bloomington Gold, Survivor, Benchmark, and the elusive NCRS 5-Star Bowtie Preservation award.
‘Sunfire Yellow’ 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible – Time Capsule
With just 23,157 original miles, this Sunfire Yellow 1967 Corvette Convertible is a numbers-matching marvel. Purchased by Davis in 2023 from the original owner’s estate, the car wears its original paint and includes a rare Black vinyl hardtop with rolling stand and cover.
This C2 remains largely untouched—even the tank sticker is still in place. From trim and glass to interior and mechanicals, it’s a factory-correct time capsule. Documentation includes the original invoice, Protect-O-Plate, NCRS shipping data, engine stamp pad verification, original keys, vintage photos, and even accessories like floor mats and dealer plate frames.
With fully documented mileage and a trove of period-correct materials, this car is a survivor in the truest sense—an authentic window into the Corvette’s golden era.
These Corvettes are just a sampling of what’s to come. More than 3,000 vehicles will be available for viewing and bidding at Mecum Indy 2025, so whether you’re hunting your next collector gem or just soaking in the spectacle, don’t miss the live action May 14–16 on ESPN+ and YouTube (12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. EST).
