Pretty sure this is the Chevy pick-up, also pictured earlier in the thread as found, under cover. The Corvette is probably that mentioned in the opening text, the '78 Indy pace car special with 5 miles on the clock.

Thanks Powder, I just checked the article I had read and I see they amended the price to $15,800 plus costs.

thats cheap for an original unrestored Corvette made in USA. Best way to do it as that needs no further work to it,-no brakes, tyres etc- unlike any road car from that period where purchase price is just the beginning of spending.Just pedal away in your environmentally friendly sports car.

I read an article over the weekend that said they got $5800 USD for the corvette pedal car. Apparently the successful bidder just held his catalogue up until he owned it. He was probably bidding against the sparrow in the rafters from about $3000!

Incidently Dale I never had a pedal car. My very early days were spent opening the workshop door to the likes of Rods Zephyr Corvette, the Mustang, Camaro and Firebird, John Rileys Traco Olds Anglia, John Wards Anglia and Cortina, so the only pedal I really looked forward to hearing was the one on the far right!

Speaking of pedal cars, Grant Marwood and I got given a J40 Austin pedal car ( worth plenty these days ) when we were going to High School, which we took down to the old Performance Developments in Takanini and with the help of Dennis we `hot rodded' it............

If it was i don't think those two kids would fit anymore, after all could you imagine fullnoise68 fitting into his old pedal car, now thats a big LOL

PS: Had this link sent to me from one of my US connections a week or two back, it seems they got pretty money at Auction.
