what's a 1960 corvette convertible worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on our Classic.com data, here's what 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertibles are worth:

**Market Overview (C1 Corvette 1958-1960)**:
- Current active listings: 16 with asking prices ranging from **$44,900 to $130,000**
- Average asking price: ~$85,800
- Median price: ~$79,900

**Comparable Sales (Similar "Original & Highly Original" Condition)**:
- Recent sales range: **$63,400 - $104,000**

**What I Found**:
This specific 1960 Corvette Convertible (the one at Private Collection Motors) is asking **$109,995**. That puts it slightly above the comparable sales range, but within the bounds of current dealer listings.

The pricing makes sense given:
- It's a "highly original" example with its 283ci V8 and 4-speed manual
- The desirable burgundy exterior over black interior
- It's being sold by a dealer (typically priced higher than auctions)

**Bottom line**: For a well-preserved, original C1 Corvette in this spec, figure **$60k-$110k** depending on condition and originality. This car's priced toward the upper end—fair if the originality checks out, though you might have room to negotiate based on comparable sales.
