Austin, Texas has a lot to offer. A lively music scene, plenty of restaurants that offer tasty and unique dishes (and, of course, BBQ), and beautiful scenery are just a few of the things you can enjoy here. (I know from years of experience.) If you happen to be here on Saturday, September 10, you can also bid on some rare, low-mileage C6 Corvettes.The Austin Classic Car Auction at the Palmer Events Center will have a variety of American cars up for the winning, but the ones it’s featuring at the front of its September 10th catalog are 10 limited-production sixth-generation Corvettes. According to the auction site, the most common one is a 2009 ZR1. It’s less powerful cousins may have lower horsepower ratings, but they also have lower production numbers. The site says, “Two special edition … Corvettes were produced in 2009: Competition Sport Edition and the GT1 Championship Edition,” which was a rolling commemoration of Corvette Racing’s 10 years of success in American Le Mans racing. Chevy only made 125 GT1s in coupe, convertible, and Z06 forms.Some of each will cross the auction block. You can compete against other bidders for the keys to an LS3-powered 2009 GT1 4LT convertible – 1 of 10 in Velocity Yellow, one of the GT1’s two available colors. It only has 20 miles on it.The rarest C6 of the lot has even fewer miles. The 1-of-7 black 2009 GT1 convertible with the 4LT package and the LS3 under its hood only has 13 miles on its odometer. Hit the Dan Kruse Classics link below for more information about it and the rest of the cars that’ll be up for grabs at the Austin Classic Car Auction.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>via [Dan Kruse Classics]Follow @derekshiekhiTags: Auction, c6, Corvette, Z06, ZR1
