1958 Chevy Corvette Convertible
Car Overview
Description
I am pleased to offer the opportunity to own this super-rare1958 Chevrolet Corvette in Tuxedo Black with Silver coves & Red interior, which comes with an amazing, documented story. The 1958 Chevrolet Corvette was a prototype year, being the only year with the louvered hood & chrome trunk spears. And, to make it even more interesting, only 199 examples were produced in this exact color combination. Most 58’s were sold complete with the hardtop/ soft-top option. Though the Black vinyl convertible top was recently replaced, this example is a hardtop-delete making it even more interesting. The car was sold brand-new in Ontario, Canada at North York Chevrolet-Oldsmobile. It lived in Ontario for most of its life, with much of that time adorning a dealership showroom not for sale, but to be admired. Eventually, it was sold to a collector where it made the trek to Helsinki, Finland, where it was stored and maintained in its original condition for over a decade. The car has had a slight paint correction and new red hides added to the interior, but overall, this is a highly documented, unrestored survivor that has never been titled in the United States. The investment-quality Vette has the original 283 V8 with 2-4’s, backed by the original 3-speed manual transmission and runs fantastic! The “patina” on the paint is magnificent, as they are only original once. The images will demonstrate an alternator as well as a few other noticeable changes performed, but please know the original generator as well as the other original parts are included with purchase. The new owner will receive a book with many service records, documentation, notes, all confirming this is an unrestored, rare example of the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette with only 44k miles. Serious inquiries only. Financing is available WAC.
