*SOLD* Mid-Year Corvettes, made from 1963-1967, are arguably the best looking Corvette made, and loved even by people who don't car much about cars. Designed by automotive legends like Zora-Arkus-Duntov, Bill Mitchell, Larry Shinoda, and many others, they represented the quest to built a true America sports car that could compete with the best Europe had to offer, both on the street and the racetrack.

Bringing about many technical innovations at the time, the car was completely designed from the bottom up to reward the driver with handling, precision, power, and braking while delivering comfort and a smooth ride on the street. Innovations that came out during the MidYear era were independent suspension, a ladder-type frame, wind tunnel testing, 4-wheel disc brakes, and more.

All in all, these were the right car, at the right time, built by the right people. I believe they are the most interesting Corvette ever made, the most beautiful, and in many ways the most important. This was the car that sealed the Corvette in to American culture permanently.
