About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Aged a little since the restoration, especially the chassis, but still essentially as-restored. It will be better after a thorough detailing.

Market commentary

Sold by Worldwide in 2010 for $247,500 in essentially the same condition as it is today, just with 17 fewer miles on the odometer. A '53 is an important bookend for Corvette collections, and at this price there must have been at least two collectors. A lot of money.
