Vehicle Details
Listing Description
1958 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster. This Corvette could be called a survivor, with one repaint in 1977! Equipped with a NOM 1969 Corvette 350 V8 300 H.P. and a 4 Speed Muncie transmission. You are not viewing a frame off restored 100 point AACA Senior award winning showpiece. This is just a nice, clean, very presentable, good running driving classic car that is very solid, turn key, and enjoyable immediately! I purchased the car exactly as you see it. The only work done to the car had been basic maintenance such as oil changes, brakes, tires, belts, battery, etc. The Black soft top had been replaced about 7 or 8 years ago. The paint is Red, but from close inspection, believed to be a Turquoise car originally. Upon first glance at 5-10 feet away, looks amazing! As you get closer, you can see some fading, small paint chips, and battle scars a 38+ year old paint job would have. There are imperfections in the finish, as understandable with an older driver quality vehicle, but as you can see from the photos, presents very well. In other words, you could still win a few trophies at local car cruises. Keep in mind It had been repainted over 38 years ago! The Undercarriage, Frame, Floor & Trunk Pan are extremely clean, very solid, straight, and rust free. No holes, rust, or issues. Undercoat is present, but a very thin layer which is consistent with a factory or dealer application. Car rides, drives, and handles surprisingly well for what it is. Straight and smooth down the road with no shimmy's, shakes, or vibrations. Extremely tight as well. The engine fires right up and has that distinct sound of a Small Block Chevy. Make no mistake, she will get up and go! The Muncie 4 speed Transmission shifts as it should. Headlights, brake & tail lights, blinkers, gauges, and windshield wipers function properly. The factory tach and wonderbar radio are currently not operational. The interior has a great clean look that compliments the car perfectly and shows very well. No rips, tears, or issues in the seats or door panels. The Chrome is not perfect, has some surface pitting, but still shows very well. I have a clean clear Indiana title in my name & in hand for this car. Pulling this car out of storage for a number of years, I addressed any issue I came across to make it a reliable roadworthy driver such as: New Battery, Distributor, Spark Plugs & Wires, Headlights, Tires, Brakes, Rebuilt Generator, Rebuilt Holley Carburetor (Correct for the engine)Trim: ConvertibleDoors: 2
