Last but not least is this 69 Rambler American Rogue. This is an AMC powered car and runs in the 10.50 Index class. This car was also with the group of street legal race cars from the Chicago area. Emma Ricchio had this car at the show.

Here are the pictures I took at the Mecum Auction in Indianapolis last weekend. The prices I'm posting are the hammer prices before any additional fees. Most of the information on the cars comes from their action descriptions and any signs or paperwork present at the auction. If anyone has any additional information on any of the cars feel free to share it. To begin with this 55 Bel Air convertible known as "Chrome Blues" was built by Snodgrass Chevy Restoration and was in the Ridler Great 8 at the Detroit Autorama in '23. The color is Twisted Blue Pearl and it has a tan leather top and interior. It is powered by an LS-3 with a 4L60E transmission and sits on a Roadster Shop frame. This car was built totally in house and has a lot of unique hand-built parts. They were machined by hand and not in a CNC. This car hammered for $335K.

This Harvest Gold 55 Corvette, VE55S001638, is powered by its original engine. It is 1 of 700 Corvettes built in 55 and 1 of 693 powered by a V8 and 1 of 625 with a Powerglide. Apparently there were 7 Corvettes powered by the Blue Flame 6 in '55. This car was formerly owned by Jerry Brewis and was awarded Bloomington Gold in '07 and NCRS Top Flight and Duntov in '10. It was bid to $180K but didn't sell.

This car was restored by Warren Mockler and he earned the NCRS Duntov award with it in '23. It was also at MCACN in '23 where it was a Triple Diamond winner. This car hammered for $172.5K. This was one of the nicest restored Corvettes I saw at the auction.
