Five Cars that Sold for Less than $20K at Mecum in Chattanooga

Here are five our favorites that sold for less than $20,000.

5. 1979 Chevrolet Camaro – $18,700

While a first-gen Camaro might be out of reach, there were a few second-, third- and fourth-gen ones that sold for under $20k. This striking example has a wealth of aftermarket upgrades to make this car even faster and cooler.

4. 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car Edition Coupe – $14,300

As with the Camaro, the earlier C1 and C2 Corvettes may get the attention, but many C3 and C4 versions get overlooked. Here’s a special edition one, with only 45,000 miles.

3. 1955 Packard Patrician – $17,600

If you’re bummed about missing out on the 1953 Packard Caribbean convertible that sold in Chattanooga for $165,000, here’s another one that looks to deliver. It’s highly original and has only 29,949 miles.

2. 1989 Ford Mustang GT Convertible – $13,200

Sure, it’s not even close to a 1968 Shelby convertible, but this one can offer fun, too, with a lot less cost. Highly original. Only two owners. 45,000 miles. And, oh yeah, a 5.0-liter V8.

1. 1980 MGB Convertible – $9900
