About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint, chrome and interior. The underbody is clean and like new. Replica of the Hansgen/Fitch Sebring class-winning SR1 Corvette, and a good one, too.

Market commentary

Sold by Gooding & Company at Scottsdale in 2016 for $96,250. Racers couldn't get a T-10 4-speed in 1956, but that didn't prevent them from retrofitting them. The quality and presentation of this '56 race car is exemplary and it's worth more than this chintzy bid.
