Scream-Machine Legacy Unveiled: Decades-Locked Corvette Treasure Trove Heads to Auction

The Ultimate Corvette Hoard: A Lifetime of Barn Finds

Are you a classic Corvette enthusiast looking for a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history? Look no further than the "Bill Slavens Corvette Hoard" auction, featuring 21 rare Corvettes from the 1950s to 1991. But this isn’t just any ordinary collection – it’s a treasure trove of Corvettes that have been stashed away for years, just waiting to be discovered.

A Lifelong Friendship and a Legendary Collection

The story behind this incredible collection begins with Bill and Bob, high-school buddies who shared a passion for Corvettes. Over the years, they scoured the country for rare cars and parts, attending shows, swap meets, and auctions. Bob viewed their adventures as a business, selling off their finds, while Bill had other plans. Rather than sell all his Corvettes and parts, many got stashed away, unbeknownst to Bob. After Bill passed away, Bob discovered the magnitude of their collection and now it’s being disbursed to new owners.

Explore the Collection

The collection includes Corvettes from every decade between the ’50s and ’90s, so there’s something for every era’s fan. You’ll find iconic models like the 1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window, as well as lesser-known gems like the 1953 Corvette. Each car comes with its own unique story, having been stored away for years, just waiting for the right owner to bring it back to life.

More Than Just Cars

But the auction doesn’t stop at Corvettes. You’ll also find a selection of smaller items, including vintage dealership signs and an old banana-seat bicycle. These might be the perfect additions to your own Corvette-themed man cave or garage.

Why This Collection is Unique

Vintage Corvettes have become increasingly expensive at most auctions, making it difficult for collectors to enter the market. This hoard offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Corvette history at a more affordable price. Plus, each car comes with the story of a lifelong friendship and the thrill of discovery.
