1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission and is finished in Panama Yellow over charcoal vinyl. The car was acquired by the current owner on BaT in March 2022 and is equipped with a black soft top, 15″ steel wheels, lap belts, a Wonder Bar AM radio, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. This C1 is now offered on dealer consignment in California with a clean Missouri title. The selling dealer notes that the car was finished in Panama Yellow with white coves prior to the current owner’s acquisition. Exterior equipment includes a black convertible soft top, quadruple headlights, a louvered hood, split chrome bumpers, fender vents, and dual exhaust outlets. Steel 15″ wheels feature spinner-style covers and are mounted with 6.70-15 whitewall tires. The car came equipped from the factory with an independent front suspension and semi-elliptical rear leaf springs. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums. The cabin houses bucket seats trimmed in charcoal vinyl along with a color-coordinated dash pad, carpets, and door panels. Amenities include a Wonder Bar AM radio, an analog clock, a heater, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and lap belts. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a sweeping 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, battery charge, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 32k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 283ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and features a bright air cleaner cover and Chevrolet-script valve covers. The stamping on the engine pad is shown above. The DG suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 230 horsepower and designated for a 1958 Corvette with a four-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission. Filed under: c1
