For Corvette fans, it was another proud reminder that America\u2019s Sports Car continues to prove itself on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p>The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the most demanding races in motorsports, testing speed, reliability, teamwork, and strategy for a full day and night. To win there requires more than just horsepower; it takes preparation, precision, and a team capable of performing under constant pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Corvette Racing, TF Sport, Chevrolet, and the entire No. 33 team on an outstanding performance and another unforgettable Le Mans victory!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b><\/b><b>Want Additional Information on the Collector Market?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Follow us on Social for Up-to-the-Minute Car Show News, Videos &amp; Latest Stories!<\/b><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cm-Logo-1.jpg?resize=640%2C128&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cm Logo\" width=\"640\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Cm-Logo-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/corvettemike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cm-Logo-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corvettemike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cm-Logo-600x120.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/lbpej8hbb.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001fWAG3jNeZWR-IlFLdSODG3LzSHucHPkIShJrRdmEmW7dGYK6NcS8-CmhcOV8Ah2vSLHhfik6k-PCHoFPsH52m1Au9Ol8XkGoiwNFPKahqE91WPgDK0VMuyIG5w1LAioN-zdgTYAT6Jb_kznzNf6LlNeGXQQq8MliyEoCMAvZAH9KgS1O6Eykdq7-4qazaz2r38jEVbPYGPTY3aL0cfa_5KIV1cFkateNdXw0baqvQTA=&amp;c=WDBljOfklKobfGOl81Te9O4uguJ5FnBx5r8roPKyExLJ284VcS4MvA==&amp;ch=rpzT_T0AwsjdK7aHiLG7DrklwHsYyGw_KuGBAJZdlEDDdcpY8RBhIA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Due In Soon<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22464\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1970-Baldwin-2.jpg?resize=640%2C292&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1970 Baldwin 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1970-Baldwin-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/corvettemike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1970-Baldwin-2-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corvettemike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1970-Baldwin-2-600x274.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p><b>1970 Baldwin-Motion Phase III LS-6 Chevelle<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of the baddest muscle cars of the era is coming soon!

Purchased new in 1969 by its original owner, Jim Leonard, it has never been restored and still carries the kind of untouched character that restorers spend careers trying to replicate\u2014but can never truly recreate.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by its original DZ 302 Z\/28-spec small-block and backed by the factory performance driveline, it delivers the sound, feel, and response that made the \u201969 Z\/28 a legend in period. More importantly, this car shows how an authentic Z\/28 was actually built, finished, and experienced before decades of over-restoration and modification reshaped so many examples.<\/p>\n<p>This example retains its original paint, original interior, low documented mileage, and long-term single-owner history, all of which place it firmly in the preservation class rather than among restored cars. The result is a reference-grade Z\/28 that serious collectors wait years\u2014sometimes a lifetime\u2014to find.<\/p>\n<p>Now available for sale, this 10,085-mile, original-owner Olympic Gold Z\/28 represents the best kind of collector car: rare, authentic, beautifully preserved, and nearly impossible to duplicate. When it\u2019s gone, finding another with this level of originality and mileage will be extraordinarily difficult.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><b>Corvette Mike Apparel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Great gifts for the Corvette enthusiast!
