Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this beautiful 1958
Chevrolet Corvette. This frame off restoration has only 3,615 miles
since it was finished. It is a professionally built and is in show
quality. Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the
Corvette sports car produced by Chevrolet. It was introduced late
in the 1953 model year, and produced through 1962. It is commonly
referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear
suspension did not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. The Corvette
was rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalize
on the enthusiastic public reaction to the concept vehicle, but
expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled.[2] Reviews
were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations through the
car's early years. The program was nearly canceled, but Chevrolet
would ultimately stay the course. This gorgeous 1958 Corvette has
been owed by the same owner for the last 20 plus years before going
through its full frame off restoration. There were photos taken
during the restoration process to document the work that was done.
This C1 was painted and matched with Dupont paint in the Regal
Turquoise GM color. The interior is Charcoal vinyl that looks
better than it would have brand new back in 1958. This Corvette is
powered by a 283 V8 that has been rebuilt with new cams, pistons,
and a crank shaft. It also has a Rochester 4BBL Carburetor. Both
the V8 engine and 4 speed Muncie manual transmissions were rebuilt
and are numbers matching to this car. The Turquoise paint appeal of
this '58 is set off by the white convertible top, white painted
insert, and white wall tires. All of the chrome has been redone to
look like new. This car is perfect for a collection of any size and
is show ready. Professionally appraised in 2018 for well over
$100k, do not let this value pass you by. This 1958 Chevrolet
Corvette is for sale in our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in
