Only 9% of the Corvettes manufactured in 1988 received the Z01 35th Anniversary Package and the example that sold today at Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach auction could quite possibly be the nicest one in existence.
The 35th Anniversary Package featured a white exterior with white wheels, white seats and steering wheel as well as special emblems and a console mounted plaque. 2,050 Coupes were produced at an extra cost of $4,795 over the $29,489 base price.
Lot #38 was an original one owner Z01 optioned Corvette with only 682 miles. The 350/245 engine was coupled to a rare 4-speed manual transmission (MMF), an option chosen only 19%. For 21 years the Corvette was stored in a climate controlled environment.
The 35th Anniversary Corvette hammered home for $37,500 and with commission the final sales price was $41,250. This easily beats the high price for a 35th Anniversary edition of $32,100 at an RM Auction held in 1998 in Monterey as listed in the VetteMarket.com CP database.
Our Corvette Price Guide’s 2008 high for a 35th Anniversary Coupe was $28,000. In addition, the one year appreciation shows 1% growth over the previous year.

That’s great. Im sitting on a 35th Anniv model that has never been registered and has only 69 original miles on it from being pulled in and out to be cleaned. It is absolutely perfect. It’s an amazing looking car.
