Live now on Bring A Trailer is a striking 1958 Chevrolet Corvette finished in red over a black interior.
This example has been refurbished before it was acquired by its seller this year. Work on the car included repainting it, replacing the interior, and upgraded its frame and suspension as well as changing its fuel tank, fuel gauge, and fuel pump with new ones.
This particular C1 Corvette comes with plenty of features that includes a white convertible top, a body-colored removable hardtop, dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, a heater and defroster, 15″ steel wheels with spinner-style covers, quadruple headlights, split chrome bumpers, and a dual-outlet exhaust system, American Classic whitewall tires, dashboard-mounted mirror, an analog clock, and a Wonder Bar radio.
Power comes from a 283ci V8 engine that was factory rated to generate 270 horsepower sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and comes with a high-lift camshaft and dual Carter four-barrel carburetors.
This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette is a first-generation example of a classic American sports car. Refurbished to give its current striking look, this C1 Corvette is ready to be enjoyed on the open roads and would make for a discerning addition to any classic car collection as well!
