Equipment
265/195hp V8, Powerglide automatic, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls, pushbutton radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Good paint from a short distance but there are a few blemishes up close, including a crack and chip around the right front wheel well. Older chrome. Good, clean seats but lightly faded carpets and pitting on the radio controls, plus some wear on the steering wheel rim. Rare combination of V8 power with early C1 body, but in not much better than driver condition.
Market commentary
This first-year V8 Corvette was restored in the early 2000s, and back when it was fresh it sold for $45,900 at Barrett-Jackson's Petersen Museum auction in 2002 and for $69,120 at Scottsdale in 2003. The car has aged since then but oh so much has happened in the collector car market over the past 20 years, and then we have to think about inflation. This is a generous result for this car's condition in 2022.
