Hot rod buyers and sellers gather at the Car Corral
The Mississippi Gulf Coast Corvette Club is back at Cruisin’ the Coast for their annual Car Corral.
If you are looking to buy or sell a hot rod, look no further than the annual Mississippi Gulf Coast Corvette Club’s Car Corral.
The Car Corral is located just east of Treasure Bay Casino on Highway 90 in Biloxi.
People from across the country come to this event to buy and sell cars, including Norco, Louisiana resident Ricky Mock who is looking to sell his 1973 Challenger. “Well, when you have a good product, it’s hard to show it. Now if you have something that’s not very good, online is a place to go. If you have a good car, this is a good place to come.”
While the lot may be a little barren at the start, it will eventually fill up with about 200 different cars with some ranging in value up to $65,000. Mississippi Gulf Coast Corvette Club member Bea Harrison said, “There are so many people here that are looking for a vehicle. They don’t know where to find this many gathered together in one place and usually you can get a really good deal.”
It costs $50 to place your car at the location and sellers are allowed to move their car. “They can take them in and out as they want to during the day if they want too. They have to have them back by 5 because they are not allowed to take them out or bring them back after 5.”
Sellers use this event as an opportunity to show off their cars in person and give people first-hand experience with the vehicles. “People actually get to see them. They can ride in them. You can take them for a ride. So, it’s a lot better venue than just online or buying something you’ve never seen.”
The corral will be open from now until Saturday, October 9th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
