Sold for: $1.1 million
1953 was the first production year for the Corvette and this car was the third off the line and the oldest known to still exist. Auctioned by Barrett-Jackson in 2006, it had just 333 miles on its odometer.
Cars from the Corvette's initial model year weren't particularly well regarded for performance but they're the originals, and that makes them worth big money.
