Market commentary

Sold by RM in Arizona in 2011, three years ago, from the Jerry Peterson collection for a magnanimous $170,250 and believed to be one of 70 80 built with close ratio 3 speeds late in the production run. This is a rare Corvette, but it will be a long time (even in dogs years) before its value gets anywhere close to its 2011 transaction. Still, the reported high bid here is not appropriate to its rarity.
