My Dad paid $1800 for his '58, sold it back to the gentleman who sold it to him for the same price, about a month after I got my driver's license in 1961. It was probably a wise move on his part. My next chance at a Corvette was when my ex brought home a '68 427 for me to sell for a fellow worker at her office. The price was the same as my Dad's '58, $1800. It was the most frightening car I have ever driven except for a Griffith. I might have bought it, but the lack of power steering made me think that resale might be a problem. It sold pretty quickly.
