Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Whitewall tires, wheel covers, radio.

Condition

Car looks to have been driven to sale and then lightly detailed. Paint shines well but has many nicks on edges of panels. Engine dirty but correct. Interior pretty, but dirt and cracks in steering wheel, and upholstery fit slightly off.

Market commentary

If one thing was clear in Kissimmee, it was that C1 Corvettes were a tough sell. Slightly more than half of the 47 offered sold, which was well off the overall sale rate. Either the market is softening, or Kissimme has established just how big a sale can be.
