99.1 pt. N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award winner!


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.

Highlights:

  • NCRS Top Flight winner with a score of 99.1 (2021)

  • 1 of only 700 Corvettes produced in 1955

  • Frame-off restored to show-quality standards

  • 265ci/195 HP V8 engine

  • 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission

  • Newer soft top

  • Full-size wheel covers

  • Firestone whitewall tires

  • Includes: Owner’s manuals, judging sheets, and restoration receipts

This beautifully restored ’55 Corvette is a standout example of one of the rarest and most important early Corvettes. A true collector’s dream.
