LMC is very proud to offer for sale this1957 Chevrolet Corvette
Fuelie
Widely regarded as one of the most important Corvettes ever built,
the 1957 model year marked the debut of both factory fuel injection
and the 4-speed manual transmission, transforming Chevrolet's
fiberglass sports car into a genuine performance contender. With
its groundbreaking technology, distinctive styling, and very
limited production of true "Fuelies," a well-restored example
represents one of the most desirable early Corvettes in existence.
This stunning 1957 Corvette checks all the right boxes, combining
exceptional provenance, period-correct details, and a quality
body-off restoration.
The frame-off restoration returned this Corvette to show-quality
standards with the attention to detail expected of such a milestone
car. Finished in the classic combination of Onyx Black with Silver
coves, complemented by a Black soft top and a striking Red
interior-an iconic and highly desirable color combination for a
'57.
Under the hood sits the fuel-injected 283/283 HP V-8, equipped with
its correct Rochester fuel injection unit (Part No. 7014800, Serial
No. 1530). The engine bay features proper finned valve covers, tidy
detailing, and correct hardware throughout. Power is delivered
through a 4-speed manual transmission, making this one of the most
sought-after drivetrain configurations of the era. Additional
features include: Wonderbar pushbutton radio, Chrome bumpers and
brightwork, Dual exhaust, Full-size spinner wheel covers and Wide
whitewall tires.
A beautifully restored, fuel-injected, 4-speed 1957 Corvette
represents one of the ultimate early-C1 collectibles. This
example's striking presentation, correct mechanical components, and
high-quality restoration make it a standout car ready for shows,
touring, or an exceptional private collection.
