Equipment
427/435hp L71 with Edelbrock intake and Holley four-barrel, M21 4-speed, side exhaust, tilt and telescopic steering column, AM/FM radio, tilt steering column, aftermarket alloy wheels, fixed headlights, hood scoop, tee tops.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers and "believed to be 46,179 actual miles." Represented as the only one with side scoops. One of 10 Baldwin Motion Phase III Corvettes. A handful of chips and cracks in the hood. Small crack in the nose. Lightly worn interior. Small things to pick on in an otherwise very desirable, rare and fast piece of Corvette history.
Market commentary
Sold for $226,800 at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2005, then tried at Kissimmee and Indianapolis in 2014 with bids of $140,000 and $150,000. The appeal of Baldwin Motion Corvettes fluctuates with their auction audience sometimes, as at B-J in 2005, bringing fabulous prices and sometimes, as here, moving on to a distinct lack of interest. As Baldwin Motions go this one's exterior appearance is pleasantly subdued, as is its price.
