In 1955, Chevrolet built just 700 Corvettes. Of those, this is number 394 — a Gypsy Red roadster that survived not just the decades, but the attrition that claims so many of its siblings. Today it stands as one of the finest examples of what is the most historically significant Corvettes ever produced.
The Car: This Gypsy Red example earned the NCRS Top Flight Award. That distinction doesn't come easily, and it doesn't come cheaply. The car underwent a thorough frame-off restoration executed to judging standards.
Yet what sets it apart from a typical show-quality restoration is what was retained: original body panels, glass, bumpers, trim, fasteners, wheels, engine, transmission, differential, and frame. In a world of heavily modified or parts-substituted restorations, this level of documented originality is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
For the Enthusiast. For the Collector. Whether you're looking for a car to show, a car to drive on special occasions, or the crown jewel of a serious C1 collection — this is it. Offered by a long-time Michigan enthusiast who has cared for it properly this iconic ’55 is now ready to be passed on to the next steward.
Nationwide and international shipping available. Serious inquiries are welcomed. This is a significant Corvette and will be priced accordingly in discussion with qualified buyers.
