Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

283 290hp FI, 4 speed, two tops, radio delete, heater, hubcaps. Origil had 686B metallic brakes but its unlikely it still has these erratic binders. 1996 NCRS Top Flight, Bloomington Silver restoration, now with some scratched trim and pitted windshield post chrome. Shows age but still sharp with good paint, interior and most chrome. A very desirable straight axle Corvette thats holding up extremely well.

Market commentary

Offered at RMs Novi, Michigan auction in November 2002 where it was a no sale at a reported $77,500 bid. At that time the 1,388 miles showing were represented as actual although that claim was not repeated here. It is expensive but not overpriced at this level and was one of the better cars offered this weekend.

All prices shown here are representative of stock condition vehicles only and based on various data sources, as detailed in About Our Prices. Value adjustments for optional equipment are in U.S. dollars. More information on how forecast models are calculated can be found on Forecasted Values page.
