The last transmission for 1953 was a 4 speed stick: In total, all had 2 speed powerglides, but 3 and 4 speed manuals were options.
In either 1953 or 54, the first year corvettes were sold with more than white paint, only 4 were blue\purple, that would be expensive. The L88 engine option in 1967 was advertised as 435hp, but it was more. The 2 ZL-1's sold in 1969 were rated at a conservative 585hp, from an all-aluminum 427 with 13:1 compression. Also in 1969, there were a few prototype corvette race cars, the CERV and CERV II (corvette experimental racing vehicle). CERVII had a ZL-1 engine in it, looked like a vette, just much smaller, and was wicked fast (they would have been raced at LeMans) That would be pricey. ANY 1983 would fetch a premium, as none survived officially, although there is no record of their destruction. Of a handful that were built, quality was so low, that they shut down and retooled. So there are no 1983's in existence. Also, I think it was for 84 or 85, only 3 were sold with white paint. 1 was totalled. The Mako Shark concept car would also be quite expensive, I would think, as that is a very pretty car.

there is actually one '83 vette, but it isn't privately owned; the national corvette musuem has it (saw it there a few months ago)

I've got a question. Once upon a time the idea of a v-12 corvette was played with. What company produced the engine that was used in this concept car? Hint: the body style was c-4.:sun:

Yep, its Falconer. The v-12 is a pretty cool engine. It is used a lot in P-51 Replicas.
