1955 was a landmark year for the Corvette as it was the first to
offer a V8 engine. This would change the Corvette forever, as every
Corvette afterwards would come with a V8 engine as standard. The
265C.I. V8 engine in this Corvette is date correct all around and
has been mated to a 3-speed manual Transmission. 1955 was also the
last year for the original body design introduced in 1953 with
tail-fins and other design elements later Corvettes would lose. The
exterior is finished in bold Gypsy Red, of which it's estimated
only 180 were originally painted, accented nicely by a Light Beige
vinyl interior and a Tan soft top. Only 700 Corvettes in total were
made in 1955, making it the second rarest model year ever, only
being surpassed by the first year 1953. Now is the time to act, as
