General info
Import from the USA Engine overhaul 2015 Valuation 2017 3+ PLEASE NOTE: The premium for this vehicle is 5% of the hammer price. . The first generation of the Corvette, as introduced in 1953, was Chevrolet's answer to Porsche and Jaguar: a compact roadster, lightweight thanks to its plastic body and, from 1956 with the V8, also sporty. In 1963, the second generation was presented, marketed under the name Corvette Sting Ray. It featured a significantly improved chassis with independent rear suspension and disc brakes. But above all, there was a striking new, exciting design. Pop-up headlights were introduced – and became a hallmark of the Corvette until the release of the sixth generation in 2005. With its eyes closed, the Corvette had a sharply angular front end that contrasted with elegant, flowing lines – like a stingray. The third generation appeared in 1968, featuring a significantly more muscular appearance while retaining most of the C2's engine and chassis components. This didn't prevent it from becoming the longest-produced generation of Corvettes, with production lasting no less than 14 years. In terms of engine configuration, there were essentially two groups: based on either the small block (around 5 liters) or the large block (up to 7.4 liters, discontinued in 1975), with various transmission and gear ratio variations. This vehicle is a classic car that is many years old and shows some noticeable signs of use and wear. Furthermore, it may have undergone more or less professional restoration, modification, and paintwork, and may have a number of cosmetic and technical defects. __________________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: For this vehicle, the surcharge totals 10% of the hammer price. The first generation Corvette, as presented in 1953, was Chevrolet's answer to Porsche and Jaguar: A compact roadster which was lightweight - owing to its fiberglass body on a steel frame - and, with the introduction of a V8 in 1956, also sporty. In 1963, the second generation, marketed as Corvette Sting Ray, was released. It had a significantly improved chassis with independent rear wheel suspension and disc brakes. But above all, it featured a strikingly new and exciting design. Retractable headlamps were introduced - and became a Corvette hallmark until the 6th generation made its debut in 2005. With closed eyes, the Corvette had a sharp-edged front to contrast its elegant, flowing lines: stingray-like, indeed. In 1968, the third generation was introduced, which had a much more muscular appearance while retaining most of the engine and chassis components from the C2. This didn't stop it from becoming the Corvette model with the longest production run, no less than 14 years! In terms of motorization, there were essentially two groups of engines based on either the small block (around 5 liters) or big block (up to 7.4 liters, discontinued 1975), with various transmissions and axle ratios. This vehicle is a vintage model, which is many years old, with some obvious traces of use and wear. In addition, some restorative, refurbishment and painting work may have been carried out more or less professionally and there may be a large number of optical and technical defects.
