About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint with a crack in the passenger's side cove and scraping on the edge of the driver's side door from poor alignment. The brightwork around the coves is older and has a few minor scratches. The engine compartment has been kept generally clean and the redone underbody has a few chips. The seats have been reupholstered quite well, but the gauge lenses are a tad cloudy and the bezels are dull. A reasonable restoration that shows well from five feet, but doesn't try too hard to be anything better than a clean driver.

Market commentary

There is no quarrel with the price this slushbox Corvette, even with dual quads, brought in this condition.
