Harvest Gold/Yellow vinyl; Green vinyl top; Estimate $175,000 to $225,000; Older restoration, 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $170,000 plus commission of 10.00 percent; Final Price $187,000.
265/195hp, Powerglide, spinner wheel covers, Firestone whitewalls, pushbutton radio. Rare Harvest Gold, one of 120, and from the first year of the V-8 Corvette. Light scratching on the headlight bezels. A few cracks around the doors and panels. The gaps are normal for these early Vettes, as in they are terrible. The rear bumper is a little dull. Excellent newer top. Some cracks in the steering wheel rim. Bloomington Gold Certified and NCRS Top Flight. An interesting car and inherently collectible, but an older restoration that you probably would not put it on a show field. 1955 is the second rarest year for Corvettes, with 700 total built. This ones rare and attractive color plus documentation more than made up for its older condition and supported an otherwise very strong result. |
