Equipment
396/425hp, 4-speed, centerlock alloy wheels, gold line tires, AM-FM, side exhaust, teakwood steering wheel.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Sound paint with surface flaws and light scratches. Sound creased upholstery. Good gauges. The engine compartment is aged and used as is the chassis. Good chrome and panel fits. The auction description calls it “matching-numbers” but then quotes only the casting number 3855962. That’s not “matching-numbers” and no other documentation is offered.
Market commentary
Details, details, but details are the difference between a solid value and a mistake. This result is a mistake without much more documentation than was offered to substantiate the engine and configuration. On the surface for a 396/425hp Corvette this looks like an expensive car for its erratic condition but the driveline’s uncertainty leaves the possibility it is a really poor decision.
