Equipment
454/390hp LS5, 4-speed, Rally wheels, Firestone Wide Oval tires, Protect-O-Plate, power brakes, power windows, AM/FM radio.
Condition
Delivered new in Michigan. Documented and original car showing just 1160 miles. Beautiful paint and chrome showing only minor age. Some light delaminating around the windshield and just general dirt and age under the hood. The leather is still soft and clean, it shows just minor wrinkling on both sides. The top looks great with only mild discoloration. A star in any preservation class.
Market commentary
This well-preserved 454 Corvette sold for $121,000 at Mecum Monterey in 2015 and here two years ago for $110,000. Its originality has been awarded, both by the Corvette community and with its two previous auction results that gave ample but not excessive premium for its preservation. This result is beyond reason, though. For it to triple in value in two years makes no sense.
