About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Bloomington Gold certified and NCRS Duntov award winner. Restored like new a while ago. Paint, chrome, interior and engine are still excellent but underbody and chassis are dusty. A thorough detailing could bring this Corvette back to show quality condition.

Market commentary

1955 marks the beginning of the V8 Corvette era, combined with the original Corvette's roadster body and body design. With only 700 built, they're impressively rare, at least as rare and significant as this price indicates.
