1958 Corvette Resto-Mod
Car History
Performance is a sports car pedigree and that has always been so in
Corvettes. A true sports car must handle with precision and corner
with positive control, it must withstand long periods at high rpm
without a whimper.
This Corvette is one of the best in the world ever customer built
frame/ chassis by Robert Kessings; an enviable ratio of power to
weight. We have a 1958 Corvette Resto-Mod here at Adventure
Classics that is all these things and more. It is a must see as it
is a no-expense spared custom one off build with hundreds of man
hours dedicated to this Corvette.
Engine & Drivetrain
The heart of our 1958 beats to the tune of a new 2018 Corvette LT1
5.7 OHV 350 cubic inch V-8 with Multi-Port Fuel Injection that was
factory rated with horsepower of 455 HP @ 6,000 RPM and torque at
460 lb-ft @ 4,600 rpm.
It has been warmed over some with a polished ram air system,
exhaust headers heading out to the quad tailpipes at the rear, a
Speartech wiring harness with computer, a fuel tank with pump and
sending unit with Corvette filter and regulator, Corvette custom
engine cover, and backed by a Tremec 6-speed transmission with a
hydraulic clutch.
The custom designed chassis is built on a 1994 C4 suspension with
Corvette power rack and pinion, fiberglass leaf spring, front and
rear, Electric emergency brake, Electric power brakes, Drilled and
slotted rotor, Stainless steel brake lines, a 3.73 H.D. Corvette
rear, Vintage Air, and a polished DeWitt aluminum radiator.
Interior
A flawless two-tone grey/red leather interior starts with the
custom Wise Guys bucket seats, leather upholstery on the door
panels and dash, red leather steering wheel and Flaming River
steering column, a plethora of Dakota digital gauges, Power
windows, Power hood opener, custom red center console with
Navigation in the upper center console, red leather boot on the
shifter and white ball, and that famous waterfall in gleaming
chrome between the seats.
Exterior
It has a stunning color combo of dark and light grey metallic that
shines and looks great from all angles. Fit and finish are
excellent throughout as is expected on this level of a Corvette,
with tight door gaps and smooth panels and those iconic side coves
that really makes this year Corvette special.
1958 models have those hood louvers, front toothy grills, and trunk
trim that were exclusive to this year and it makes this year
Corvette unique and desirable.
Conclusion
1958 Corvettes have been highly sought-after since they were new

at Adventure Classics takes it to a whole new level!.
