LOT #1358 - 1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM TOPLESS
ROADSTER – NO RESERVE
This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette custom topless roadster
debuted at Darryl Starbird's National Rod & Custom
Show in February 2022, where it received a Fine
Nine Award for its peerless combination of design,
execution and craftsmanship. Power comes from a GM
Performance 7.0-liter LS7 V8 engine rated for 550hp,
mated to a Supermatic 4L75E automatic transmission. It
is equipped with a DeWitts aluminum radiator with dual
SPAL electric fans, and the Holley Sniper electronic fuel
injection teams up with Hooker shorty ceramic headers,
polished stainless-steel exhaust and Borla racing mufflers.
The custom-calibrated Art Morrison GT Sports chassis
is equipped with C7 Corvette independent front and
rear suspension and Strange coilover adjustable shocks.
Wilwood disc brakes with 6-piston front and 4-piston
rear calipers clamp down on 14-inch rotors, and a
Flaming River steering column connects the driver to the
road. An American Auto wiring harness handles electrical
connections from the four-across Vintage Car LED
headlights, and Vibro Solution floor sound-dampening
material reduces noise. Flush-mount chrome bumpers
and billet trunk spears accent the PPG custom paint.
The custom red leather interior features a Sparc Industries
steering wheel, Dakota Digital HDX gauges, LED lighting,
a Vintage Air system and an Alpine touchscreen audio
system. Nu-Relics power windows and locks sync up with
I-Key proximity entry recognition. This custom rolls on
one-off, billet, 3-piece, polished aluminum wheels with
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.
