Vehicle Description
For sale in our Orlando showroom is a beautiful 1957 Chevrolet
Corvette Fuelie Convertible. A black beauty complimented with
silver coves and more chrome than a new Harley. One of the most
aggressively styled & sought after designs of the 50's & still in
high demand today. You'll be hard pressed to find a cleaner, nicer
looking car that defines the era of big fins and high style. The
power plant & transmission are the correct factory specs with the
first factory fuel injection system by Chevrolet, known to the
hobbyist as a "Fuelie". The fuel injection pushed these 283 CID V8
engines to 1 horsepower per cubic inch, which was almost unheard of
in 1957! The fuel injected 283 is backed by a 4 speed manual
transmission that lets you hold the reins on this classic sports
car. The sweet rumble of the newly installed exhaust system is
music to the ears and lets you know this car is no slouch. The
completely refurbished red interior is clean & comfortable for
cruising the town or to the local car show. This Corvette is
outfitted with a factory hardtop, but also includes a new soft top
for those cool fall nights & sunny days. It's your choice since
both are included. Options include: new radial tires, hub caps,
vinyl interior, seat belts, manual convertible top, and mechanical
fuel injection. Repainted around 10 years ago, she still shows very
well with only minor imperfections. The underside is clean and
solid, and the goal was to leave the vehicle as original as
possible. The top of the dash was not repainted for fear of
breaking the windshield during removal. This is the original glass,
and the body was stripped to bare fiberglass during the repaint and
shows no signs of every having even minor repairs to the body! The
current owner has enjoyed this rare piece of Corvette history for
15 years and has decided to put it up for sale to go to a new
collection. These don't pop up every day, so contact us now! To
