1958 Chevrolet Corvette – A Stunning Refurbished Classic
This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette presents a beautifully restored example of one of America’s most iconic sports cars. Featuring a metallic blue repaint, a rebuilt 283ci V8, and dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, it combines vintage character with refreshed mechanical components for an outstanding driving experience.
Performance & Power
Under the hood, this Corvette is powered by its rebuilt 283ci V8, bored .060″ over for optimal performance. The engine benefits from overhauled dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, ensuring strong throttle response, while a chrome air cleaner and ignition cover add a period-correct aesthetic under the hood. The powerplant is paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential, both of which were serviced in 2016, providing smooth and controlled power delivery to the rear wheels.
Exterior Refinements
Finished in metallic blue, the car underwent a repaint under prior ownership, preserving its striking original look while enhancing its depth and luster. Notable exterior features include:
- Power-operated white convertible soft top for easy transitions between open-air and closed driving
- Body-color removable hardtop, offering versatility for different driving conditions
- Fender vents, accentuating its sporty design
- Dual exhaust outlets integrated into the rear bumper, reinforcing its aggressive stance
Though well-maintained, minor imperfections such as paint chips, a crack behind the right-front wheel, and wrinkling where the hardtop seal meets the rear deck are documented in the provided gallery photos.
Wheels & Suspension
This Corvette rides on 15″ steel wheels with spinner-style covers, wrapped in 6.70-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires for a period-correct look. It features a factory-equipped independent front suspension and semi-elliptical rear leaf springs, delivering balanced handling. The front and rear springs, shocks, and wheel cylinders were replaced in 2016, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, this Corvette showcases a blue vinyl cabin, offering a refined and authentic atmosphere. The interior highlights include:
- Two bucket seats, trimmed in matching blue vinyl
- Color-coordinated dash pad, carpets, and door panels, preserving the original look
- Wonder Bar AM radio, maintaining the classic appeal
- Dash-mounted rearview mirror and lap belts, adding a vintage touch
- Three-spoke steering wheel, framing a well-preserved instrument cluster
The sweeping 160-mph speedometer, fuel level, coolant temperature, battery charge, and oil pressure gauges ensure clear readouts, while the instrument cluster refurbishment in 2016 included the replacement of the tachometer for accurate RPM monitoring.
Mileage & Documentation
The five-digit odometer shows 74,500 miles, with approximately 200 miles added under current ownership. While total mileage is unknown, service records confirm careful maintenance. The car is offered with:
- Refurbishment records, documenting previous work
- An owner’s manual, providing factory specifications
- A clean title, ensuring a hassle-free transfer
Final Thoughts
This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette is a fantastic opportunity to own a well-restored, mechanically refreshed classic with timeless styling and thrilling performance. Whether admired for its design or enjoyed on the open road, this Corvette is ready for its next passionate owner.
