Freije Auctioneers is preparing to ignite the passions of car enthusiasts with their much-anticipated Annual Spring Big Boy Toy Sale. Scheduled for April 27th at their premises on 2340 W. US Highway 40 in Clayton, Indiana, the auction will commence at 9:00 am ET, offering an exceptional lineup of over 200 classic and specialty cars, including a significant collection of 17 Corvettes spanning several generations.
This event is not just an auction but a celebration of automotive history and culture, featuring vehicles from a 1957 Corvette, which will be sold for charity, to a modern 2021 Corvette Stingray Coupe. The auction highlights the breadth of America's sports car legacy, with a particular focus on the Corvette - America’s quintessential sports car. Models from the C3 generation lead the offerings with seven vehicles, followed by C4s and the classic C1s. The lot also includes the cutting-edge C8s, showcasing the evolution of this iconic line.
One standout entry is the 2023 Corvette Stingray Convertible in Torch Red. It promises to be a crowd-pleaser with its 495-hp LT1 V8 engine and an array of high-performance features including an 8-speed DCT and the capability to drop the top in just 16 seconds at speeds of up to 30 mph. With just 2,157 miles on the odometer, this car combines nearly new condition with impressive upgrades totaling over $19,000.
Another highlight is a 1957 Corvette dedicated to charity, with proceeds benefiting the Riley Children’s Foundation. This classic sports car, offered in “Riley Red” with white coves, features a 283 ci V8 engine and comes with both a three-speed automatic and a manual transmission, among other historical options.
The auction also features a pristine 1978 25th Anniversary Edition Corvette with only 2,930 original miles, alongside a 1990 Corvette ZR-1 that showcases the advanced engineering of its era with a Lotus-designed 32-valve DOHC V8 engine.
