This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 283ci V8 that breathes through dual four-barrel carburetors and is linked with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. It is finished in red with white coves and features a body-color hardtop, a white soft top, a wrap-around windshield, split chrome bumpers, and a dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers. Further details include 15″ steel wheels with faux knock-off covers and whitewall tires along with Bilstein rear shocks, drum brakes, a twin-cowl dashboard, and bucket seats trimmed in red vinyl. Acquired by the seller in May 2024, this C1 is now offered with Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in red with Ivory coves and features a body-color removable hardtop and a white soft top that requires repair. Further details include a wrap-around windshield, split chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear bumper uprights. Close-up photos of the paint, trim, and imperfections including scrapes on the rear valance are displayed in the gallery.
The 15″ steel wheels wear covers with faux knock-off spinners and are mounted with BFGoodrich Silvertown whitewall tires. A matching spare is stowed in the trunk. The car came equipped from the factory with an independent front suspension and semi-elliptical rear leaf springs, and Bilstein rear shocks were installed under prior ownership. Braking is handled by drums at each corner.
The cabin features twin bucket seats trimmed in red vinyl with textured inserts that are joined by a red and white dashboard and color-coordinated carpets and door panels. The heater, defroster, and radio do not work.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer, and center-mounted instrumentation consists of a tachometer, an ammeter, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 53k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.
The 283ci V8 is equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors and Corvette-script valve covers. The dual exhaust system features MagnaFlow mufflers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
The car does not have a title as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is being offered on its Connecticut registration.
