The charisma of classic cars, brought to you by {name}

Franco Vigorito

Do not miss out on this opportunity and become the new owner of this timeless classic Corvette Targa convertible! This is a NO RESERVE auction. 

The third generation Corvette is based on the Mako Shark II concept car. The C3 was introduced in the model year 1968 and production continued until 1982. The C3 coupe was the first Corvette with removable T-top roof panels. Terms were used which would later return, such as LT-1, ZR-1, and Collector Edition. 

The Corvette C3 is becoming rarer by the day and is rarely seen on the streets. This is a car that starts immediately, idles nicely at 900 RPM, stops well, accelerates very powerfully and shifts gears smoothly. This Corvette has the original radio, original rims and a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. 

What makes this Corvette unique is the special ‘two tone’ colour scheme (original factory feature); 29I 33L 33U 38M (Silver, Dark blue), with blue interior. You won’t find another copy like this one anytime soon.

Optically, this car requires some attention. For example, the driver seat has craquelure in the leather and the paintwork has been touched up in a few places (only visible from up close).

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.
2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment. Any other costs or charges such as customs or import duties, customs clearance and handling may also apply during shipment of your lot and will be charged to you at a later stage if applicable.
