About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good old repaint with chips and scratches. Good interior. Dash top cracked. Good chrome. A strong, consistent cosmetically restored and maintained Corvette. Represented as unrestored, a term that is hard to apply to it.

Market commentary

Peddled around in the past year, from Mecum's Bloomington Gold sale in 2012 through Mecum Monterey last August, the consignor finally got real, especially at this handsome price.
