The Chevrolet C1 Corvette market currently shows an overvaluation score of 60.28 and a depreciation risk of 62.91, with a liquidity score of 29.69 and appreciation momentum at 40.14. While a slight upward direction is forecast with a 0.49 to 0.5 probability over 6 to 24 months, this outlook is within a volatile regime. The 10-Year Treasury Yield is the strongest leading indicator, showing a correlation of -0.47 with a 1-month lead.

What It's Actually Worth

Blended value of a standard 65 yr, 20k mi example, ~$77.6K now. The green line weighs confirmed auction sales most heavily (the amber dots — what cars actually hammered for), blends in fast-selling "just-missed" listings, and lightly smooths out month-to-month composition noise.
