Hello:

Anybody have an educated guess, or even speculation on the value of an original 1956 Corvette owner's manual that is signed by Zora Duntov. Signed on or about 1987 with photos of him signing it at a show. It is in very good condition. What are items signed by him worth? I could not find anything previously posted.

Thanks, new member Inca59.

Put in on EBAY - It's probably worth alot.

Set the Start Bidding # at a price that you want.

Wait for others to chime in. To the right 65 owner, this is worth a few $

Is it a 56 or 65 manual?

It's only worth 5 bucks. I'm sending you 6 because I'm a nice guy.

Best Regards

Considering how many things Zora signed in the last few years before he died an unsigned one is probably more rare.

1956 ... I don't have it, thinking of buying it from a fellow I met at a show. I have no idea what it might be worth ... I can't find anything signed by him to compare it with.

I also have a Duntov signed owners manual for my 66 and have pics of Duntov signing it:

Interesting question... I have a signed Larry Shinoda '63 owners manual...

I've been watching ebay items for Zora stuff, nothing ever comes up for sale with the exception of art prints ... nothing else so far. If he signed a bunch of stuff, beats me. I never see much of anything out there that is signed and documented.

I've seen a '63 SWC fuelie that was signed by Shinoda on the dash...

Zora, God bless him, signed just about everything. He came to Corvette Carlisle for decades. He came to many of the NCRS Nationals. He was at Bloomington.......

I have signed hats, owners manuals, pictures, etc.

I don't think it's worth a whole lot....maybe a few $$$ more than an unsigned original manual.

I wonder how much more that makes the car worth ... must be a little bump in price. I wonder if he signed a bunch of cars ...

Inca59

Must be like the Shelby stuff, lots of signed items including cars ... I just never see all that much from Zora but I don't go to a bunch of shows either. I wonder how many cars he signed? Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know how much you could bump the price on a FI 63 SWC...

I saw a 56 vette that he signed supposidly on evil bay once?? wondered if it was real at the time too--Glenn pacifico

I have an SR-71 signed by Kelly Johnson..... Seriously though, I don't think I'd want a car signed by them. Their true signature is the car itself, and that's good enough for me.

At the Houston Grand Prix, Ron Fellows was a super guy and came out and signed and dated the underside of my hood. I will treasure it forever. Some guys got there Glove box fronts signed like Carol Shelby does, others had him sign the engine valve cover.

Since I never met or saw Zora that would be a real treat to have a signed owners manual for a '63.

Ebay finds the market pretty well. I wouldn't put a minimum, but run it for 9 days, it gets alot more exciting if there is no minimum or reserve.
Documentation that it is real would be the most important part of the listing on ebay.

The only thing I want signed is a check.

I bought in an auction a magazine with an article written by Zora about the 1968 VETTE that he had autographed.Paid about $400. I wouldn't sale it for a grand!

I remember seeing a Zora signed 2x4 air cleaner go for around $1,000 about a year ago on Ebay. It came with a picture of it being signed, if I recall correctly.
