Equipment

427 430hp L88, 4 speed, 3.55 Positraction, J56 brakes, K66 transistor ignition, F41 suspension, Rally wheels, red line Wide Oval tires, smog equipment, hardtop only. Known history from new, never raced or wrecked, represented as the original drivetrain. Documented with Protect o Plate and original factory invoice to the selling dealer. Restored in 2005, Bloomington Gold 98.2 points, Special Collections and NCRS Top Flight. No longer fresh but still exceptionally good.

Market commentary

The best of the best in big block Corvettes and highly unusual in having never been raced (formally, at least). The restoration is a little long in the tooth but is still plenty good enough. This result is what the market will bear, and right up there with recent results in Kissimmee and Scottsdale. Fair to both buyer and seller.
