1957 Chevrolet Corvette CONVERTIBLE Copper

Exterior: The exterior of the this Corvette is absolutely stunning. No matter what local show or cruise night it always comes home with a trophy or even best of show. The restoration was done about 10 years ago. It was done in its rare original Aztec Copper paint(only 263 were this color) and the paint is in excellent condition. The body is straight and the depth of the paint is brilliant. The chrome and all the brightwork is brilliant. Because of the restoration being done some time ago, there are a few blemishes when looking up close and when I say up close I mean within inches. But its still shows brilliant and its prominent that there was extreme care taken to finish this Vette and its appearance shows and proves it. All the lights and marker lights work and the glass is in excellent condition. At the time of restoration all the rubber was redone and the top was redone also. We are keeping the top up to get the wrinkles out as it sits in heated storage. Underneath the car was also restored and shows excellent. It was done right also and you'll notice the shocks and the rear nylon straps are all correct. Interior: The interior was redone at the time of restoration and presents in excellent condition. You can see the age of the restoration because in some areas the sun has discolored the very top of the door panels a little from sitting at shows with the top down. This is very minor but I want to mention. The carpets, seats, dash and door panels are all in excellent condition and show and present extremely nice. Keep in mind, the restoration wasn't just completed, it has been well cared for through the years and the pictures will show in detail the condition. All the gauges work properly, however the tachometer does not work properly. It jumps a little and/or doesn't work. The window operate properly and the top mechanism works excellent and has a nice fit. Drive-Train: The engine and transmission were redone at the time of restoration and the numbers are coded correctly. As I mentioned you'll notice the block stamping the last letter is not readable to determine if the dual 4bbl carburetors were original to the engine or not. The car runs and drives and shifts beautiful. All the components have been restored and the car is road worthy. The exhaust sound beautiful. This is a turn key restoration both inside and out and up and down.
