Go, ahead – take a stab at it:

1. $120,000
2. $150,000
3. $180,000

Nope, make that a whopping auction sale of $252,000 for this 1963 Corvette Z06. And from what we gather from this Super Chevy report, this rare beauty could have gone for a whole lot more.

The stunning C2, which recently fetched that quarter-of-a-million sum at the 2016 Mecum Kissimmee auction, is one of only 3,475 1963 Corvettes painted Daytona Blue.

Following its restoration in 2013, the car went on to earn a Bloomington Gold Certification in 2013, an NCRS Regional Top Flight Award in 2015, 2nd Place in the Corvette class at the Santa Fe Concorso, and the Palmetto Award at the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance.

The classic Z06 is powered by a 360-horsepower, fuel-injected L84 327 engine mated to a four-speed transmission.

What do you think, did the buyer get a deal?
