Pearl White/Blue w/Blue interior, 283/283hp Fuel Injected 3-speed
manual transmission.Introducing the legendary 1957 Chevrolet
Corvette Super Sport, the very first vehicle to carry the iconic SS
moniker that defined Chevrolets performance era. This stunning
concept car features the groundbreaking 283 cubic-inch V8 engine
with a Rochester Ramjet fuel injection system, delivering an
impressive 283 horsepower and setting the standard for performance
vehicles.Developed in response to the overwhelming excitement
surrounding Harley Earls SR-2 race car, the Corvette Super Sport
was designed to offer a competitive version of the Corvette. Built
under shop order SO-90181, this unique model began life as a 1956
Corvette (VIN E56S001589) and was transformed at a cost exceeding
$18,000 (around $169,900 today). Before work began on the car, it
was given a new VIN number (E57S0001589) and re-cataloged as a 1957
model. It made its grand debut at the 42nd Annual New York Auto
Show on December 8, 1956, and subsequently toured major auto shows,
including the Chicago Auto Show and the Sports Car Club of America
event in Detroit.This exceptional vehicle features several notable
modifications, including a custom pearlescent white exterior,
distinctive full-length blue stripes, and brushed aluminum side
covers inspired by race-built SR-2 Corvettes. To enhance its
race-ready appearance, the original windshield was replaced with
rounded windscreens, and custom tail-lamp assemblies were
integrated into the rear fenders.Inside, the Corvette Super Sport
boasts luxurious blue-dyed leather upholstery, a first for
Corvette, with matching accents on the dash, shifter boot, center
console, door panels, and even the trunk carpeting.This remarkable
piece of automotive history has survived where many concept cars
did not, and it is now available for the first time in decades.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a discerning collector
to own a true piece of Corvette legacy. Could you be the one to
