Vehicle Detail

1957 Corvette Roadster283—245HP, 2 four barrel CarbsTwo tone correct Cascade Green with shoreline beige Coves Correct Beige InteriorThe current and second owner of this stunning roadster bought it as a nice solid used car in 1968. He enjoyed it as a regular driver for many years and eventually parked it in his garage were it sat and was only taken out rarely. Several years ago he and his wife decided they would start a restoration on it intending to return it to it's original glory. That restoration took on a life of its own and became an obsession for the couple. The contracted a well known corvette professional to oversee it and after several years and most of their savings it is one of the finest restored '57 Vettes you will ever see. The following describes most of the restoration. This is a beautifully restored 1957 Corvette Convertible that has had a rotisserie nut and bolt restoration at a cost of over $90,000. It is an honest two owner car with the same current owner since 1968. It is finished in the correct and stunning corvette colors of Cascade Green with Shoreline Beige coves and matching shoreline beige interior. Everything is as new or better. It has a very rare combination of Motor, transmission, options and paint that help make this classic a very rare find. It has the easy to drive Powerglide automatic transmission matted to the wonderfully reliable and powerful 283-245 HP motor. It also has the power top, Wonderbar radio, courtesy lights, heater, emergency brake warning light, Chrome Hubcaps, wide whitewall tires and may well be one of the finest available today. The multi-year comprehensive restoration has been well documented from start to finish and the car has been driven less than 100 miles since it’s completion. Every receipt for every part and labor along the way is available. The restoration, which started in 2007, and concluded in 2012 was all done by local experts and is correct in every aspect. This would be a perfect car for any show but could also be easily enjoyed by any enthusiast. Everything works as it should and it is truly a joy to drive. Please call with questions or to arrange an inspection it is well worth your time. The owners are downsizing and relocating and fully intends on selling this car. They realize they may not recoup all of their investment although it is likely worth every penny. I would encourage any reasonable & informed offers. If you have been looking for a Vette of this vintage to add to your collection or simply as a good investment this is a perfect opportunity to buy direct from the owner without any auction fees and hype.Call Jeff at 614-352-3434
