Offered here, is a solid 1957 Corvette. This car has had a cosmetic restoration approximately 20 years ago: Paint, upholstery, etc. It was never a body-off restoration. The current owner is an avid car collector with a beautiful collection. He states the car has a solid rust free frame. A new 283ci V/8 w/ 270hp built by Engines Limited in Osh Kosh, WI, was recently installed. The owner states the engine (w/only 200 miles), has the correct casting numbers on the block which is 2 months before the build date.....so this is the correct engine for the car. A new clutch was installed at that time also. Plus, the twin carbs are the correct units for the vehicle. A rare, factory power convertible top is installed in the car. A hard top in good condition is included with this sale.
An aftermarket radio/cassette player has been installed (the original is missing). The car has a Mallory distributor. The owner has the original unit (w/the correct numbers), that needs rebuilding and it comes with this sale. All gauges work with exception of the clock. Almost new tires are mounted.
If you are seeking a solid, very collectable and sought after '57 Corvette, this is a fine example. It is not a show car, but a very nice survivor. Paint shows some age. Chrome is very presentable. Interior looks stock and intact. Lots of documentation will be passed on to the new owner of this Vette. Thanks for your interest and good luck bidding.
