Sometimes it's not the car, but who owned and drove it that governs the price. Here's an instance where both combine in a brief moment of serendipity. I'm referring to a Corvette owned and driven by astronaut Gus Grissom that also involved Indy 500 winner Jim Rathmann, currently being offered on e-Bay with an unstated reserve. As I write this, the bid price is $309,100 but the owner intends auctioning it with Barrett-Jackson next February if his reserve isn't met. The engine is a 427 c.i., 435HP Turbo-jet with tri-power and a 4-speed M-21 manual transmission. Everything is original. The owner says "I actually enjoy looking at it every day and once every couple of weeks I open the bubble, fire it up....and drive it for a mile or two." By "bubble" he means the climate-controlled environment in which the car is preserved. Here's your opportunity to own a Corvette with a truly unique history. Buy now or pay (much more) later.
