LOT #1358 - 1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE
NO RESERVE
This award-winning 1958 Pro-Touring Corvette is a fresh
build with test miles only and was professionally restored
and custom-built with modern technology throughout. For
added comfort and to accommodate taller occupants, it’s been
modified to add 7 extra inches between the steering wheel and
seat, and 2 extra inches in the footwell compared to a standard
C1 Corvette. Power comes from a GM Racing Gen 5 LT1
(LT376/535) direct-injected 6.2-liter V8 crate engine that puts
out 535 horsepower and 470 ft/lbs of torque. The engine has a
custom air intake, a Billet Specialties polished front drive system
and is paired with a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. The
body is all-original and was completely stripped, professionally
body-worked with laser-straight panels and proper gaps. The car
was then stunningly finished in House of Kolor Lexus Candy
Apple Red metallic with slightly contrasting coves ghosted three
shades lighter and topped with a Haartz black cloth convertible
top. A fully restored color-matched hardtop is also included.
World of Wheels “Outstanding Engineered” award winner. The
sale includes an extensive photo album of build.
