Chassis No. 1G1YY2251T5600364. Admiral Blue with white stripe over black leather. 350-ci, 330-hp LT4 V-8. 6-speed manual. F45 suspension. Comes with window sticker and 1996 Corvette VHS tape.

EVALUATION : Original | One of 1000 (810 coupes and 190 convertibles) 1996 Grand Sports. Like-new condition represented with just 96 miles and will probably never see 100—it’s destined for a life of static display.

BOTTOM LINE : A massive price for a Grand Sport that stands out for its condition and mileage. As with many limited-edition C4s that were mothballed in anticipation of big appreciation, the numbers haven’t quite worked out: According to RM Sotheby’s, this Vette carried a sticker price of $46,239 in 1996, which is nearly 76 grand adjusted for inflation. Someone could have made more money—and had more fun—parking money in a savings
account and driving the car.
