Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 2LT, Japan import, called 24 Sep 2026.

A 2021 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 2LT running on Collecting Cars out of Upper Coomera, Queensland — white over tan, 23,625 kilometres, VIN 1G1Y92D42N5100959, a Japan-delivered car now here, on aftermarket 20-inch Avant Garde wheels with red callipers, a suspension lift fitted, and Japanese service books with a June 2026 service at 22,709km.

Its own source line says so: no Australian result of any kind, at auction or in public, because the model postdates the Shannons archive and GMSV has never published a delivery volume. The $145,000 it carries is research, not a transaction.

Scored leave-one-out across 455 recorded Australian sales, a value with no local result behind it runs HIGH about seven times in ten, by a median of ten per cent. That correction is applied here rather than argued about: the model returns $116,258 and the call is the measured midpoint underneath it.

Plus 4 for 23,625 kilometres against the 50,000 a 2021 car is expected to have covered. Minus 4 for model year at the bottom of the run. Minus 12 for an import on a model General Motors Specialty Vehicles sells here new, which is the same penalty this library applies to a Japanese R35 or a United Kingdom F430. Minus 2 for the wheels, minus 4 for the suspension lift, minus 3 for a carbon wrap lifting at one edge and a bubble in the roof wrap, both named by the seller. Composed, minus 19.8 per cent.

And the seller answered both. The Japanese auction grade is 4.5 A, which is a clean sheet. The eight-speed transmission recall is done and the dealer serviced the transmission at 23,000km. The dashboard delamination the C8 is known for is absent. None of that is independently verified here and all of it is taken at the seller's word.

The 2LT specification sits below the 3LT the option ladder pays 6 for, so no trim credit is taken. A Japan-delivered C8 is a right-hand-drive car in a right-hand-drive market, which is the whole reason these are arriving, and nothing in this library measures whether an Australian room discounts them beyond the standard import penalty.

Buyer's premium of six per cent plus GST sits over the hammer, so that is about $111,397 to the buyer. Predicted hammer $57,500 to $125,500, midpoint $104,500.

And it is lopsided on purpose. It is what 455 held-out sales say an eighty-five per cent interval needs to be when nothing local stands under the value. A tighter band on this car would be a hedge dressed as confidence.
