An 11-year-old race car and a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette fetched the highest prices among the hundreds of vehicles sold at the recent Mecum Chattanooga auction at the Chattanooga Convention Center.
About 600 cars went across the auction blocks, according to a news release from Mecum, including a 2012 Riley Daytona Prototype IMSA Racer, which sold here for $203,500. A custom 1958 Corvette sold for an identical price. Total sales for the two-day auction, which was part of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, topped $13.2 million.
