Trio of 2019 Corvette ZR1s to Take Center Stage at Mecum Houston Auction
A trio of high-performance 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1s, each offering distinctive specifications and rare production numbers, will headline Mecum Auctions' Houston 2025 event on April 5. Collectors and performance enthusiasts alike will have the chance to bid on some of the most coveted final-generation C7 Corvettes ever produced.
Among the featured lots is a Sebring Orange 2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible, one of only 140 produced with a 7-speed manual transmission. Packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine generating 755 horsepower, this open-top powerhouse comes equipped with the Sebring Orange Design Package, a multi-mode performance exhaust, and an electronic limited-slip differential. With 61,200 miles on the odometer, this ZR1 offers both collectibility and drivability.
For those preferring a coupe, an Admiral Blue 2019 Corvette ZR1 will also cross the block. One of just 39 produced in this color, this coupe boasts the sought-after ZTK Track Performance Package, which includes a height-adjustable rear wing, carbon fiber aerodynamic enhancements, and a track-optimized chassis. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters, this ZR1 is designed for high-speed precision. The odometer reads 35,583 miles, and the car features Brembo brakes, a competition sport interior, and advanced aerodynamics.
A second convertible, finished in sleek black with a Kalahari leather interior, rounds out the lineup. This ZR1, also one of the exclusive 140 built with a manual transmission, includes the ZTK Track Performance Package, carbon fiber accents, and a power-operated convertible top. With just 3,047 miles, it presents a pristine option for collectors looking for a low-mileage, high-performance example.

Lamborghini Miura Emerges After 40 Years Inside New York Living Room
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A Lamborghini Miura S, one of the most coveted classic supercars in the world, has resurfaced after spending 40 years parked inside a Long Island man's living room. The unusual discovery was featured in a recent episode of Extreme Detailing on Discovery, hosted by master car detailer and YouTuber Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC. Kosilla was tipped off by exotic car broker Barrett, who had heard about the Miura but needed to verify the story before making an offer. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) What they found was more than just a rare car. The Miura S is one of only 50 'Series 2' examples built, and just three were finished in the car's distinctive brownish-gold color. The owner, identified only as Paul, bought the Lamborghini for $10,000 in the 1970s and later brought it into his house through the garage. A wall was then built behind it, effectively sealing the car inside. The car remained untouched for decades, preserved alongside its original manuals and service records. While the passenger seat showed damage and many rubber bushings had deteriorated, Kosilla found the gauges intact and confirmed the original paintwork. The engine and chassis numbers also matched, an important detail for collectors. Barrett eventually purchased the Miura for more than $1 million — a sum far exceeding the value of the house it had been stored in. Extracting the car required partial demolition of the wall, removal of an air-conditioning unit, and clearing several other vehicles from the garage. Once freed, the Miura rolled out under its own weight for the first time in four decades. Experts say its long-term indoor storage may have spared it from corrosion, making it a prime candidate for restoration. The Miura will now likely see daylight — and perhaps the open road — for the first time in generations. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is the first to top $200,000
General Motors' ZR1X isn't just the world's most powerful Corvette — it's also the first priced above $200,000. The Detroit automaker revealed pricing for the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the sister to the ZR1, earlier last week, and it's the most expensive production Corvette. The 1,250-horsepower vehicle sets a record for the automaker thanks to a dual powertrain system. The back wheels are powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5 L V8 engine that generates 828 pound-feet of torque while a 145 pound-foot battery sends power to the front axle electric motor. The 2026 Corvette ZR1X coupe starts at $207,395 for the 1LZ coupe and $217,395 for the 1LZ convertible, with both prices inclusive of a $1,995 delivery charge. The cost leapfrogs the previous most-expensive Corvette, the 2025 ZR1, which started at $174,995, itself a steep jump from the 2019 Corvette ZR1, which started at $121,000. The ZR1X will be available by the end of 2025 after assembly at Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky. Jackie Charniga covers General Motors for the Free Press. Reach her at jcharniga@
