Description
ORIGINAL 1957 Corvette (C1) in Red and White two-tone combination and with whitewall tires, in great overall condition. The car is valued using Hagertyâ??s valuation tool for sales of 1957 Corvettes in 2022, and is listed at a starting price well-below value in order to encourage potential buyers. This corvetteâ??s entire wiring harness has been completely replaced with modern, restoration-grade wiring. Drives great - looks great, and with responsive steering, fantastic acceleration and control. Includes the following:Original Hard Top.Original Power Windows.Wonderbar 1957 Corvette Radio (Bluetooth radio restoration piece - looks like the original but with Bluetooth capability).Original T10, 3-speed, close ratio, aluminum alloy, manual Borg-Warner, including a restoration-added HURST Super Shifter (reverse push down lockout).Additionally, this corvetteâ??s features and options are functional, to include:New battery, starter and alternator within the last 2 months.New fuel pump within the last year.Headlights, turn signals, fog lights, gauge panel lights and running lights are functional.Original Positraction (Limited Slip Differential), recently serviced within the last year.Original Rear Suspension, recently serviced in the last year.Original Racing Coil Front Suspension (for controlled cornering), recently serviced in the last year.New battery tray (commonly rusted on C1 models).Original Heater option.Original Parking Brake Alarm option.Original Courtesy Lights option.Two-Tone Paint Combination option.The entire vehicle is meticulously maintained in as original condition as possible, to include the original seats, carpeting, chrome, and most of its parts. Given the originality, it does come with natural aging and character. The front end was recently re-painted (within the last year), new wheels have been installed (within the last 2 years), and the entire vehicle has been serviced within the last month (oil, coolant, grease, electrical, fuel lines and filter, carburetor disassembly and service, lubrication orders and all). Within a week of this listing, the whole frame and undercarriage have been completely undercoated to protect against rust. This piece of history is ready for anything. It is in great shape, mechanically and aesthetically, to handle it all.The motor is a 1979 Corvette Stingray 350ci V8, with additional 1969 Chevrolet Camaro valve covers installed (Stingray covers included). The engine has around 13,000 miles since installation.Being only 1 of 379 ever produced with power windows, and with a survivability rate of around 50% for corvettes of this year, this â??57 is approximately 1 of 188 original models with these options still in existence. Great driver - sheâ??s built and fun to handle
