While the allure of a first-generation Corvette is easy enough for
anyone to see, the fact is that driving a car that is six or seven
decades old has some drawbacks. Aging technology and worn-down
parts can often create as much anxiety as excitement for a new
owner. However, when a car like this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette
Restomod comes along, it can bring with it the best of both the
classic and contemporary automotive universes. Mini-tubbed and
fully repainted in a vibrant red exterior with white coves, this C1
comes with a color-matched removable accessory hardtop. Best of
all, it has less than ten miles on it since being resurrected into
this modern muscle machine.
Step inside this retro roadster, and you're treated to a restored
leather interior. Featuring a set of Wise Guy bucket seats, this
'Vette also shows off an updated six-pod gauge cluster. An
original-looking radio that cleverly hides its Bluetooth
capabilities, while the subtle-yet-racy three-spoke steering wheel
hints that this is not your grandfather's Corvette.
Under the hood, we find a well-adorned engine bay that holds a
stout 6.0-lliter iron-block V-8 engine. Topped with a set of
aluminum LS3 heads, this potent small-block breathes in through a
VMS Racing cold-air intake and exhales via a set of long tube
headers connected to a true dual exhaust. That power is funneled
through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading
out to a Ford nine-inch rear end that is built to take on as much
twist as this V-8 can throw at it.

Unlike the original version, this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod
rides on a fully independent suspension that utilizes a tubular
A-arm front end, four-link rear, and adjustable coil-overs at all
four corners. A set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors work with
Wilwood power-assisted brakes to allow this C1 to handle and stop
like a car much, much younger than it is. If you've always had your
eye on a first-gen Corvette but want to avoid the potential
pratfalls and headaches of a six-plus-decade-old car, then there is
no better car than this '57 restomod. Don't wait, call today!
