Terry L. Michaelis (pronounced “Mick A Lis”), President

One of the world's leading authorities on classic Corvettes, Terry Michaelis’ company, ProTeam Classic Corvette Collection and Sales, showcases the largest inventory of classic Corvettes and has sold more classic models of the marque than any other source in the world.

Michaelis oversees the daily operations, supplying Corvettes to customers around the globe. Through his in-depth knowledge of the Corvette market and his wealth of automotive passion, enthusiasm and extensive sales experience, he is able to search for just the right Classic Corvette to match each customer’s personal and investment preferences.

Michaelis began his love affair with cars more than 36 years ago when he began selling used cars at his cousin’s Ohio dealership in 1971. On his 21st birthday, Michaelis applied for a used car dealer’s license and was soon the owner of his own dealership. In 1974, he purchased a Corvette, a wrecked 1961, for a mere $250. Within a week, he sold the car’s hardtop for $300, and soon provided parts to Corvette collectors and restorers across the U.S. By the mid-1970s, Michaelis was dubbed ‘King” of Corvette aftermarket parts, and was soon in charge of a company that had almost 200 employees and was grossing $500,000 a month in sales.

By the mid-1980s, the collector car market exploded and prices for Corvettes increased dramatically. As a result, it was more logical to repair and restore older models than part them out. With collectors hungry for restored and concours-quality Corvettes, Michaelis and his brother, Frederick, formed ProTeam Classic Corvette Collection and Sales in 1987. They began buying several Corvettes at a time, often 20 or more, and selling over 300 of the marque annually.

Since that time, Terry Michaelis has worked hard to position ProTeam as thesource for investment-grade Corvettes, further positioning the Corvette market and serving as a consultant to the Corvette industry.

He has become such a world-renowned expert on Corvettes that his knowledge has been the focus of hundreds of radio interviews and Associated Press newspaper articles across the U.S., as well as featured in such publications as:

Automotive News	Wheels Magazine
AutoWeek	Old Cars Weekly
Auto Age Magazine	Vette Vues Magazine
Motor Trend	Parts
Super Chevy	Corvette Fever
Corvette Quarterly	Vette
Corvette Magazine	Automobile Magazine
Hot Rod Corvette	Corvette Enthusiast
