The iconic Chevrolet Corvette Callaway SledgeHammer, known for the 255-mph (410-kph) top speed record it set back in 1988, failed to find a new owner despite a $500,000 high bid.

The one-of-one Callaway Sledgehammer C4 Corvette was built to do two things crack 250 mph, and not fall apart in the process. John Lingenfelter blasted past that objective on October 26, 1988, reaching 254.76 mph. Then the car sat in museums for about three decades. Now it’s up for sale.

At the time of writing there are nine days left before the Sledgehammer goes to the highest bidder over at Bring A Trailer. The current bid stands at $425,476, and while the Carfax report says it was sold once, in 2004, the buyer was none other than founder Reeves Callaway himself.
