Equipment
Centerlock alloy wheels, narrow whitewalls, teakwood steering wheel, L72 engine, 427/425hp, 4-speed.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Formerly owned by Chip Miller, founder of Corvettes at Carlisle. Mechanically restored in 1999 by Kevin Mackay, but the body and interior were wisely left alone. Shows 15,796 believable miles. Original paint is worn through in some spots and bubbling up in others, but the flaws are quite minimal for its age. Honest, clean engine bay has some paint flaking off in spots. The interior is in terrific shape for one so original, with very little wear present on the seats, door panels or dashboard.
Market commentary
Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2009 for $143,000 then again at Amelia Island in 2014 for $137,500. Prices for most mid-year Corvettes have more or less risen back to their pre-Recession levels, but this car just keeps getting cheaper for some reason.
