1,750,000th Corvette Built Was Raffled Off<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"175<\/p>\n

Nearly seven decades ago, Corvette #1 rolled off the hand built assembly line. Now in its eighth generation, an incredible 1,750,000 Vettes have been produced. To celebrate this achievement, and to raise some money for the National Corvette Museum, the 1.75 millionth Corvette has been raffled off.<\/p>\n

Raffle was part of the National Corvette Museum\u2019s ongoing fund-raising efforts, and was held September 4th, 2020, with Don Creekmore from Wichita, Kansas, taking home the prize.<\/p>\n

Just like the first Corvette, and the one millionth Corvette, this C8 Coupe was finished in Arctic White paint with an Adrenaline Red interior. Options included the Z51 Performance Package, the top of the line 3LT trim level, magnetic ride, front lift, 5-trident spoke machined-face sterling silver aluminum wheels, and the engine appearance package.<\/p>\n

What Mike likes about this Corvette:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fuel injection era comes to an end in 1965 when only 771 Fuelie coupes and convertibles we\u2019re built. The end of an exciting eight years of mechanical fuel Injection that was way ahead of its time on any make or model worldwide. Excluding, of course, some of the injected cars from Germany.<\/p>\n

Fuel injection had a nice ring to it and the name was synonymous with horsepower, fuel economy, and instant gratification when you step on the gas pedal. In 1957 the 283 small block would develop 283hp, 1hp for every cubic inch. By 1965 the 327 small block Chevy was pumping out 375hp! That was quite the force to be reckoned with, and proved itself on the street and strip.<\/p>\n

1965 also was the year that Chevrolet debuted The Mark IV Big block 396 developing 425 hp. It came out late in the year, but it sure hurt the sales of the fuel injected 327. For a mere hundred dollars more you could get another 50 hp.<\/p>\n

The 65 ended the era and became an instant collectible, as it has been ever since the last one rolled off the assembly line. This white convertible was in a collection of a local Anaheim Corvette aficionado who had every Corvette from 1953 to 1967. He not only enjoyed owning them but completely restoring them and then took them to every show possible, getting the highest awards available at the time. We are selling this for the estate, and we welcome all questions and comments!\u201d<\/p>\n
