Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Was $99,995.00 Now $89,500.00This
frame-off restored 1957 Corvette features the high performance
version of the 283 V-8 with two four barrel carburetors and Duntov
camshaft and solid lifters, producing 270 hp. It is mated to the
new-for-'57 4 speed transmission.A new body was introduced for the
1956 model featuring a new "face" and side coves; the taillamp fins
were also gone. An optional fuel injection system was made
available in the middle of the 1957 model year. It was one of the
first mass-produced engines in history to reach 1 bhp per cubic
inch and Chevrolet's advertising agency used a "one hp per cubic
inch" slogan for advertising the 283 bhp 283 cu in Small-Block
engine. Other options included power windows, hydraulically
operated power convertible top (1956), heavy duty brakes and
suspension (1957), and four speed manual transmission (late
1957).[10] Delco Radio transistorized signal-seeking "hybrid" car
radio, which used both vacuum tubes and transistors in its radio's
circuitry (1956 option).
