Gypsy Red with Beige Interior 265ci V8 / 195 HP • Powerglide Automatic Transmission
The 1955 Corvette marked a turning point in American automotive history. It was the first year that America’s Sports Car came equipped with a V8 engine, dramatically enhancing performance and appeal. Remarkably, 1955 was also the only year the Corvette was available with either the new 265ci V8 or the original 6-cylinder engine—making it a truly unique transitional year.
Presented here is undoubtedly one of the finest 1955 Corvettes in existence. This rare example has undergone a full frame-off restoration and earned the prestigious NCRS Top Flight Award, scoring an exceptional 99.1 points in 2021.
Finished in striking Gypsy Red over a Beige interior, it’s 1 of just 700 Corvettes produced in 1955, and represents the final year for the original Corvette body style.
