Re: Value of C-1 oil pan.

lots to me because I need one..lol ..
Nice ones probably 500 would be a decent deal. There are several c1 pans though and some are more valuable than others...
There is also a lot of confusion out there as to what constitutes a correct c1 pan. They are NOT just a passenger car pan as a lot of eBay sellers think when they try to sell them as corvette pans.
There is a lot of info on this site pertaining to the nuances of the c1 oil pan. Search the forum and you will find them.

Re: Value of C-1 oil pan.

The Summer 2015 edition of the Restorer has an article that identifies the correct pans for the 56-62 Corvettes. There were three variations during this period. You can expect to pay $750-$950 for a good piece ready to install. There are some clones available for about half that amount.

Hi Edward,
Hard for me to tell exactly without seeing the rest, but if it's a three step pan, and there are no "y" shaped longitudinal depressions in the second step, I would say it's a later replacement c1 pan with all those side grooves in it. To I.D it for sure I'd need to see the inside of the pan picture, and a shot of the whole pan also.

Re: Value of C-1 oil pan.

This is not a correct pan for any of the 56-62 Corvettes. It is a functional over the counter replacement. The '57 pan would only have two ribs on each side, one long (6 3/4") and one short ( 1 3/4"). email edlepelis@verizon.net for more detail

Re: Value of C-1 oil pan.

Thanks Ed. Yes that one would work for a clone for sure. If you got my email just let me know what you are wanting for it.

Re: Value of C-1 oil pan.

How much is a real one if you are willing to sell one? I'm kind of getting an idea what they are worth. Another member offered me a real one for what I think is a reasonable price, but I am still contemplating real vs. clone.
