Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The C2 Stingray median has fallen to $116,875, down 18.3 percent over the past twelve months, signaling a sharp reversal in what was previously an appreciating segment. This decline comes despite robust transaction volume—194 sales logged in the trailing year across 753 total tracked—indicating that liquidity remains healthy but buyer appetite has cooled noticeably.

The Corvette C2 remains classified as collectible with very high desirability, a standing that reflects the model's cultural weight and enduring appeal among enthusiasts. However, current market conditions suggest this reputation is not translating into price support at present levels, and the high transaction volume reveals sellers remain active in a buyer's market.

The three-year base projection signals a further 36.7 percent decline to approximately $73,963, with five-year projections pointing toward $64,317, a cumulative loss of 45 percent from today's level. These forecasts reflect sustained softening in the broad classic sports car segment and rising inventory relative to collector demand.

The absence of active listings at the moment underscores the transactional nature of this market—cars are moving through the pipeline consistently rather than sitting. For prospective buyers, the combination of high liquidity and downward pressure on valuations suggests opportunities at the margin, while current owners face headwinds that favor liquidating sooner rather than later.
