Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dog dish hubcaps, blackwall tires, aftermarket AM FM radio, hard top only.

Condition

This is a sound and attractive Corvette with a desirable induction system on the 283 cid block described on the car card Theres no way to verify the engines actual specification, however, beyond counting the carburetors and listening for the Duntov cams lope when it runs The price it brought is more than adequate for the uncertainty but also the neat presentation

Market commentary

Good paint, interior, and most chrome except for bubbling left doorpost trim. Chassis and underbody are aged and used, but clean. Has a great look in triple black, but the engine block stamping, IMS, is meaningless.
