1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - Original Fuelie |
No-Expense-Spared Nut & Bolt Restoration
Iconic 1st-generation C1 Corvette, freshly restored with a full nut
and bolt restoration-every detail rebuilt to show-quality
standards.
Same owner since the early 1970s-a long-term, enthusiast-owned
Corvette with rare provenance.
Originally a factory fuel-injected car-still includes the original
FI 539 heads. (A correct fuel injection unit can be sourced at
additional cost.)
Now equipped with a rebuilt Chevrolet V8, upgraded with
period-correct dual Carter 2x4-barrel carburetors producing an
estimated 300 horsepower-a proper nod to Corvette racing
heritage.
Includes the original rebuilt 3-speed manual transmission-a true
driver's gearbox.
Features the original rebuilt Positraction rear
differential-designed for classic power delivery and road grip.
Finished in factory-correct Venetian Red paint with matching color
coves-mirror finish, professionally show-waxed and detailed for
top-tier presentation.
Topped with a brand-new white convertible soft top-tight, fresh,
and ready for top-down cruising.
Interior features new AL Knoch red bucket seats, including matching
door panels, carpet, and floor mats-a show-quality restoration
inside and out.
Retains restored factory gauge cluster with 6,000 RPM tachometer,
140 MPH speedometer, fuel, oil, temp, and clock-all rebuilt and
functioning.
Classic factory-style 3-spoke steering wheel for authentic 1950s
driving feel.
Fitted with the optional original heater and defroster-perfect for
extending your driving season.
All-new chrome and polished stainless trim throughout-gleaming and
concours-ready.
Retains the original AM "Wonderbar" radio-a rare and correct
factory option.
Documented with ownership history, a letter from the longtime
owner, repair manual, owner's manual, Corvette restoration guide,
and a March 1977 Hot Rod Magazine feature on Corvette fuel
injection-a collector's dream.
Rides on correct 15" steel wheels with period-correct whitewall
radial tires and spinner hubcaps-vintage appearance with modern
road manners.
Professionally detailed trunk with correct spare tire, jack, and
original hardware.
Sounds incredible with rear bumper-exit dual exhaust and stainless
steel tips-that unmistakable C1 rumble.
This is how you buy a freshly restored 1957 Corvette
Convertible-finished in stunning Venetian Red, powered by a
dual-quad small block, and backed by decades of ownership history.
A true collector-grade C1 ready for the road or the show field.
