1958 Chevrolet Corvette 283/245 4-Speed

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Signet Red with white coves and powered by a CT-code 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features a white convertible top, a louvered hood, and chrome trim. Red-painted steel wheels are equipped with factory-style spinner hubcaps and Coker whitewall tires, and a matching spare wheel fitted with an older spare is stored in the trunk. The selling dealer states that the king pins and rear springs were replaced during the refurbishment. The center stack houses heater and defroster controls, an analog clock, and a Wonder Bar AM radio, the latter of which does not work. Factory instrumentation includes a sweeping 160-mph speedometer along with a centrally oriented 6k-rpm tachometer flanked by an ammeter and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer currently shows 38k miles, with total mileage unknown. Featuring dual four-barrel carburetors, the 283ci V8 was rated by Chevrolet at 245 horsepower when new. A photo of engine-block stamping F1023CT is shown above, signifying Flint, Michigan production (F), an October 23 build date (1023), and the 245-horsepower dual four-barrel and manual transmission specification (CT). Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
