I know you only said that just to get a rise out of your friends here on the CF, but really, you should be ashamed of yourself for that. I would sooner take your 70 from you and throw a coat of purple paint on it just for giggles.

I think I remember seeing it in Vette Vues magazine in the 80s for about $10,000.

I started a thread on this car back in 2010
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...sells-for.html
It crossed the block 4 times in less than 6 months:
1. Nov 2010 McDorman's auction sold for 70k
2. A few weeks later, Mecum Kanas, "sold"
3. Jan 29 2011 Kissimmee, didnt make reserve at 67.5k
4. May 18 2011 Indy Mecum, Pro Team buys it at 66k
Then on July 14 2013, Bob McDorman open his corvette museum and states he now owns the corvette.

One of the comments in the 2010 thread states that it has a NOM. If that's true, then $60-$70K sounds about right.

I don't think that I would want #000001. I'm sure that it takes about a 100 of them before they figure how to assemble then correctly. Especialy if it was made on Mon. morning or Fri afternoon.
