ProTeam Classic Corvette Collection and Sales, located in Napoleon, Ohio, 35 miles southwest of Toledo, showcases the world famous inventory of classic Corvettes. Potential buyers can inspect an inventory of nearly 150 classic Corvettes, valued at over $10 million worth of gorgeous, often rare or one-of-a-kind Corvettes. The company usually has at least one Corvette from each generation of production on hand, and offers Corvettes in all conditions - from project cars to fully-restored award winners.

Headed by Corvette enthusiast and entrepreneur Terry L. Michaelis and his brother Frederick, ProTeam is the result of their 33-year passion for Corvettes. Michaelis migrated to Corvettes solely due to his desire to own the marque we have all longed for in our youth. With the arrival of the mid-seventies, Michaelis found it difficult to purchase discontinued Corvette parts and started manufacturing hard-to-find parts, employing close to 200 employees. He quickly became America's "King of the Corvette Aftermarket" business, providing hard-to-find parts to a fast-growing number of hobbyists and collectors, while continuing to sell renovated or restored Corvettes.

In the 1980s when collector car prices skyrocketed, classic Corvettes, especially rare examples with special performance options, suddenly were worth more than the sum of their parts. Michaelis moved back toward his first love and the passion of driving and selling complete Corvettes and formed ProTeam Classic Corvette Collection and Sales. ProTeam quickly grew from a small, independent specialty dealership into a 60,000 square-foot facility that includes five buildings dedicated as showrooms, body and trim shop, mechanic shop and restoration areas.

With the advent of the Internet, ProTeam's customers span the globe to buy from the company in the rural community of Napoleon. Actors, entertainers, rock legends, racecar drivers, sports stars and auto industry VIPs are among its thousands of satisfied patrons including Kelly Osbourne, Ricky Van Shelton and the late Roy Orbison and Dale Earnhardt Sr. ProTeam clientele can be found in all 50 states and more than 40 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Malta, Gibraltar, New Caledonia, Botswana, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, the principality of Monaco and most countries in Europe.

"For many years ProTeam's motto has been 'You Can't Sell Out of an Empty Wagon'," says Michaelis. "That's why ProTeam showcases approximately 175 vintage Corvette models from 1953 through 1982, eliminating the typical wild goose chase. Today, ProTeam is leading the industry with its money back guarantee that puts Corvette enthusiasts, especially those who cannot visit their showroom, behind the wheel of their dream car much faster and without the risk of other dealerships or individuals sellers."

Today ProTeam is staffed by a professional team of 18 sales, restoration and service experts. They employ eight commissioned buyers and dozens of regional spotters across the country who receive competitive finder's fees for locating vehicles. ProTeam's success as a classic Corvette dealership is unparalleled, with gross sales of $12 million in 2003 and revenues for 2004 at more than $15 million.

Over the years, fully restored, renovated Corvettes, formerly owned by ProTeam, have been awarded with many NCRS Top Flight Awards, Bloomington Gold Awards and Best of Show honors and have been featured at Corvette events across America, including the Bloomington Gold Special Collection as well as Corvettes at Carlisle and the Chicago Vette Fest.

ProTeam website is updated daily with new vehicle listings. ProTeam vehicles have and will be on display at major auctions and Corvette gatherings around the United States.

In addition to its renowned Corvette inventory, ProTeam also offers over 10,000 sq. ft. of used, new, hard-to-find parts that are listed on the website and occasionally offer on eBay.
