About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Worn, poor quality old paint with orange peel, scratches and scuffs. Tired upholstery with a tear on the driver’s seat cushion. Erratic, scratched chrome. Clean but unrestored old chassis and underbody. The FG engine suffix is for a 1957 dual quad Powerglide 283/245hp and the title is for a ’57 with a different chassis number, E57S101876. A quick repaint on a tired old Corvette with mixed parentage.

Market commentary

While this is a reasonably attractive Corvette it is so mixed up that the price it brought defies comprehension. The local DMV is going to have a field day sorting out the chassis number and it is a mystery how it was sold at all with a dubious VIN on the title, not to mention bringing this much money.
