LOT #1348 - 1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE
NO RESERVE
This 1958 Pro-Touring Corvette was professionally
built with a new 6.2-liter direct-injected Corvette
V8 engine producing 460 horsepower and 465 ft/
lbs of torque. The engine is backed by a 4L75E
automatic transmission and the Corvette rides on
an Art Morrison C7 chassis with fully adjustable ride
height with JRI coilover shocks. The frame has been
powder-coated in silver to match the color of the
side coves. It also has power rack & pinion steering,
a whisper-quiet Aeromotive 340 Phantom Stealth
in-tank fuel pump, Fragola Teflon fuel lines and
fittings, Vintage Air conditioning, GM wiring harness
and factory-programmed computer. The body is
all-original and was completely stripped with glass
beads before being finished in PPG Jet Black and
Global High Solids Clear. The interior features custom
hand-fabricated red leather seats, door panels, custom
gauges and leather dash. It has a new stereo made to
look exactly like the original 1958 Wonder Bar model
with Bluetooth, JL amplifier, subwoofer and Focal
speakers. The convertible top was completely restored.
This custom ‘Vette has been driven just over 650 miles
since its extensive build and comes with engine and
transmission specs, all wiring schematics, instruction
manuals and pictures.
