FOR SALE: 1956 Corvette SR-2 Race Car

Very Rare 1956 Corvette SR-2 Race Car On Sale for $6.88 Million

If you’re in the market for a very rare Corvette and money is not an issue, then look no further than this 1956 Corvette SR-2 Sebring Racer, on sale for “just” $6.885 million (€5.65 million).

Offered for the first time to the general public, the 1956 Corvette SR-2 is the very first GM “purpose-built” Corvette race car and only one of three ever made. This particular car was raced by Jerome C. Earl, the son of Harley Earl, the parent of the Corvette. The other two cars were built for Bill Mitchell, then assistant to Harley Earl, and Harlow “Red” Curtice, president of GM who had a show car version built.
