Barns all over the world hold secrets, and all is takes is some
dedicated enthusiasts to find some of the rarest cars in the world
that have been hidden away for years. This 1957 Corvette is one of
those cars. Not only is it an extremely desirable '57 model, this
one came from the factory with the 270hp V8 fed by dual 4bbl
carburetors through the correct Winter's aluminum intake. The
engine casting number, suffix code, and date code are all correct.
That's as close to numbers matching as you can get before Chevy
started stamping VINs on Corvettes in the early 1960's. That potent
V8 is mated to the 3-speed manual transmission ('57 was the first
year for an available 4-speed and was not yet a popular option).
This 'Vette is finished in Venetian Red that has a lovely and
charming patina that can only be achieved over many years. The
white convertible top is in excellent shape as is the Red "Waffle"
style interior. This unique Corvette is sure to get attention and
respect wherever you take it. It drives exceptionally well,
especially for being a barn find. Please feel free to come visit
