Vehicle Description
Absolutely iconic style, dual-quad V8 power, and some great details
all come together on this 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. So you'll love
the mix of originality and upgrades that make this true classic the
kind that you love driving, too.
The 1958 Corvette gets remembered for bringing a lot of different
elements together. It was the debut for the four headlights up
front, and it's the only year for the washboard louvered hood. In
the rear, the integrated exhaust looked a little meaner, and the
single-year silver streaks on the trunk added sophistication. In
fact, with the added touch of refinement, this car deserves a paint
like Tuxedo Black. It was an upgrade later in life. So the black
retains a nice shine while still not being too fancy to make you
nervous about enjoying the drive. Plus, everything you love about
these first-generation Corvettes are in place. The side coves have
a separate silver color, the smile of the nine-tooth grille is in
bright chrome, a hardtop comes with the sale, and you even have
proper whitewall tires w/correct wheel covers. Overall, there is a
sense of quality that comes from great-looking panels and good body
gaps to show off the curvaceous style that made the C1 an icon.
The all-black interior looks especially nice against the all the
black on the exterior, so this is a great one for open-top fun.
There was a solid investment here with good-looking bucket seats, a
smooth dash, and plush carpeting. You get the classic/grippy
three-spoke steering wheel, and beyond that, the full gauges are
crisp and clear, including the working tach. Corvette fans have
likely sported by now that this is a power windows car. This is the
first year for the features, and they are working nicely. So if
it's factory-installed, it also gives this a ton of rarity (only
about 650 examples were made.) And while you'll love the vintage
presentation, right down to the Wonderbar AM radio, there is
another cool secret. This has a hidden AM/FM/CD stereo that
connects to a full subwoofer speaker system. So you get some great
upgraded driving music.
Under the hood is an era-correct 283 cubic-inch V8 that's believed
to be original to the car. Everything from the broad and bright air
grabber, to the finned Corvette valve covers look like the correct
pieces for a stock '58 Corvette. Plus, as you peek into the motor a
bit more you see this was done with dual Carter four-barrel
carburetors for proper C1 power. It fires up nicely, and the
Powerglide transmission is great for both automatic cruising and
quarter-mile runs. And as you look underneath the car, you'll see
nice upgrades like newer coilover shocks and traction bars on the
rear.
Complete with Maintenance records, this is the C1 that comes from
the right year, has the right features, and has the right upgrades.
It makes for a total package you need right now. Call today!!!
