August 30-September 2, 2012
Lot # 5172 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N VE55S001181; Polo
White/Black vinyl; Beige vinyl top; Older restoration, 3- condition; Hammered
Sold at $64,000 plus commission of 10.00 percent; Final Price $70,400
265/195hp, 3-speed, Wonder Bar radio, wheel covers, whitewalls. Poor old
repaint, sound but aged upholstery, old folded up top of dubious effectiveness.
Bad hood fit. A Corvette cosmetically restored long ago to the much lower
standards of the time and then used for years. Aged, used and pretty tired, its
the 3-speed stick that sets this 1955 Corvette apart from so many of its
Powerglide siblings. The price it brought accurately reflects its pros and cons
and is fair to both the seller and the buyer.
