Equipment
Without power brakes or power steering, spinner style wheel covers, AM/FM radio.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Faded and cracked paint throughout, brightwork faded and tarnished. Engine compartment is clean after a recent engine rebuild, chassis covered in surface rust. Seats torn and the entire interior is very aged. A preserved car that hasn’t been well maintained well.
Market commentary
At least two bidders viewed this Corvette's tired condition with rose-colored glasses, and are latching on to the preservation/originality craze. Problem is, with all the 1964 Corvettes built, there are almost certainly many better-preserved examples in existence. For ever and for always, those cars provide a ceiling for this one's value.
