Seller's comments about 1958' Chevrolet Corvette C1
Price on request --- Very beautiful Chevy Corvette from '58. Paint is in excellent condition, comes with soft top.
Exterior:
Paint and chrome of the Corvette are in excellent condition. Soft top comes with the car, please contact us for pictures.
Interior:
Interior is in very good condition. Beautiful combination of the red exterior and red interior and the futuristic gauges.
Mechanics:
Car drives wonderful. Engine turns perfectly and transmission shifts very smoothly. No problems on this car. Also undercarriage looks like new as you can see on the pictures.
History:
In an era of chrome and four headlamps, the Corvette adapted to the look of the day. The 1958 model year and the four that followed all had the exposed four-headlamp treatment and prominent grilles, but a faux-louvered hood and chrome trunk spears were unique to this model year. The interior and instruments were updated, including placing a tachometer directly in front of the driver. For the 1958 model, an 8000 rpm tachometer was used with the 240 and 290 hp (179 and 216 kW) engines, rather than the 6000 rpm units used in the lower horsepower engines. Optional engine choices included two with twin carburetors (including a 270 hp (201 kW) version with Carter 2613S and 2614S WCFB four-barrels) and two with fuel injection. The power output for the highest-rated fuel-injected engine was 290 hp (216 kW). Displacement remained 283 cu in (4. 6 L). For the first time, seat belts were factory-installed rather than dealer-installed as on previous models.[16] Options that were not popular included RPO 684 heavy-duty brakes and suspension (144), RPO 579 250 hp (186 kW) engine (554), and RPO 276 15×5. 5-inch steel road wheels (404).[22]
