Corvette 005

Out of the 300 Corvettes that were sold in 1953, the third one ever sold will be rolling across the upcoming RM Auction on January 20 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Bearing VIN #005, presale estimates have predicted a sales as high as $650,000. We’re betting the final bid will go to Corvette-aholics Jay Leno or Rick Hendrick.

      That would be a increase of 21567% over sticker. :)

      C1′s never really did much for me anyway.
