For Sale at Auction: 1958 Chevrolet Corvette in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible is powered by a new GM LS7 engine with 427/570hp and 540 ft/lbs of torque connected to a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. The powder-coated Art Morrison GT chassis includes compact independent rear suspension, featuring coilovers with adjustable ride height, and stopping power is provided by the Wilwood big-brake package, with power brakes. Fuel is supplied by a GM ZL1 fuel pump in a custom stainless-steel fuel tank built by Rick's Tanks in El Paso, TX. All fuel and transmission lines are Kevlar braided lines. Cooling is provided by a custom DeWitts radiator. Exhaust flows through the custom Ultimate headers, finished in silver ceramic coating, and a stainless-steel exhaust. This project started with the paint being stripped off using the plastic media-blasting system, then the body was finished off with Duratec Vinyl Ester primer and topped off with BASF Pearl White basecoat/clearcoat paint. For safety, LED headlights were installed. Custom wide quarters were added to accommodate the large tires on the custom Schott wheels. The leather interior features reclining custom seats for added head and legroom. The steering column and the lower firewall were moved forward, and there is a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital HDX analog instruments, an electric-actuated hood opener, a Bluetooth flatscreen AM/FM custom stereo, power windows and an electric parking brake. The car has been driven 200 test miles since the build was completed in September 2023.
