🧰 Description Overview

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette is an exceptionally rare and desirable example, distinguished by its matching‑numbers drivetrain, first‑paint body, and exquisite provenance. With just 45,000 miles and three owners, it represents a highly original, carefully preserved C1 Corvette that has recently undergone comprehensive mechanical refurbishment to bring its running condition up to the same high standard as its cosmetic presentation.

The body is described as all‑excellent original, with very good original paint that shows some scratching consistent with age and light use. Chrome brightwork is bright and original, with slight scratching, and all glass is original and in excellent condition. Steel wheels with covers are in very good shape, and the interior and convertible top are both rated as very good, reflecting the car’s overall preservation and care.

Mechanically, the original engine functions “competently” with no major leaks, and extensive recent work has been completed to ensure reliability and correctness. The undercarriage and frame have been repainted, and the engine compartment has been repainted and detailed to a high standard, with sheet metal parts powder‑coated and accessories detailed. The engine block has been repainted, and the intake manifold and valve covers were media‑blasted and re‑sealed.

Recent work includes:

• Complete new exhaust system with correct hangers
• Rebuilt radiator
• New thermostat, air cleaner assembly, oil filter assembly, and fuel filter assembly
• New wide whitewall radial tires
• Wheels powder‑coated
• Alternator and accessories detailed
• New belt, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, points, and correct hose clamps
• Exhaust manifolds and brake master cylinder graphite‑coated
• Exhaust manifold heat shields re‑plated
• All new fluids
• Exterior detailed

With its matching‑numbers specification, first‑paint originality, wonderful provenance, and thorough mechanical sorting, this 1958 Corvette stands out as a highly collectible, investment‑grade C1 that’s ready to be shown, driven, and enjoyed with confidence.
