Equipment

Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
NCRS Top Flight last year. Clean but not detailed engine bay. Rear window of the hard top is heavily scratched and has a big scuff on it. Excellent chrome and interior. Excellent paint overall, but the hood is a couple of shades lighter than the rest of the car. A well restored car that has been shown. Its shortcomings are big knocks for a concours car, but quite easy to look past on a car used just for enjoyment.
Market commentary
Offered at Mecum's Dallas auction last September with a reported high bid of $75,000. The wait proved to be productive. A highly desirable car, the first Corvette with 7-liter power, with the power of '67s 427/435 but far less expensive among collectors, [Chevy called this engine 450hp when it was introduced, then cut the rated power to 425 mid-year to give the '67 tri-power 427 an advantage.] A recent NCRS Top Flight, even with the evidence of use it is appropriately priced here.
