This thing is going to pull big monies. Now the interesting thing is how much. We have seen Ferraris dominate the Auction blocks for years with their vintage race cars. This will be the ultimate comparison. Billed as the ultimate American sports car, this is the Ultimate Corvette from that point of view.
will it pull more than 2 million dollars? I would be curious. To me I would rather have a Ford GT40 any day myself. |

These things give me a boner. I saw a Grand Sport coupe when I was a kid at Lyme Rock in a historic race. Always loved the Grand Sport Corvettes.

So guys, is this considered to be THE most valuable corvette?? I see it as being one of, but I'm curious as to whether there is one that stands out over everything.

I personally do not see it going for much more than 2 million. Sorry, as much as I love old muscle, and historic race cars, its no Ferrari. And yes, that does matter.

Nothing on this car came from the factory. Its was all hand built using Corvette blueprints for the body jig, but thats it. Zora Duntov built these things without GM's complete consent.

Well we will see. I say it will clear 2 million, but not 3. I am standing by it. I could be wrong, and in that case, I would be pleasantly surprised.

I heard from a good source recently, that this car, or one just like it, not sure if it was this exact one, sold for 7.5 million before. I'm curious to know what this one goes for!

This will go for well over $10m. The greatest Corvette ever.

Did a bit of googling, and found out that this car has been restored. More like rebuilt, I dont know what you would call it. The car in the picture is the "unrestored body", which is actually sitting on a dolly. The body that is on the car right now is a recreation. A damned fine one, but still. See link below:
