About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as a recent body-off restoration with matching numbers. NCRS second flight award last month. That said, there are several cracks around the trunk lid and the hood. Front fender lips don't fit evenly at all and neither does the grille frame. There are some orange peel spots on the hood as well. Top is good, as are the engine bay and underbody. The interior is the only thing that can be described as really excellent, though. This is not the Corvette that the car card describes.

Market commentary

Reported sold at Barrett-Jackson's Northeast sale four months ago for $91,300 where it showed exactly the same 22,483 claimed original miles as it did today. The Vegas bidders were more astute, bidding the car to a price that's appropriate to its actual condition, not its description.
