The 1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 belongs to the first generation introduced by Chevrolet in 1953. However, the Corvette saw a significant change by the mid-1950’s, as focus shifted towards enhanced performance. This translated into improved and more capable engines. By 1958 the Corvette adopted the chrome and quad headlamp design. This two-door sports car was a major head-turner — an aspect that continues to endure to this day. As a bonus, this particular example of the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 rolled out of Corvette Corrections (by Billy Dawson) and sits on a chassis from 1996 Grand Sport w/ 7000 miles with Corvette Correction front and rear suspension. Located in Pennsylvania, it has undergone an extensive restoration, blending modernity while retaining its classic appeal.
While the four headlamps continued in the following model years, the faux-louvered hood and chrome trunk spears were unique to the 1958 Corvette. This Corvette is painted in dark red with iconic contrasting white coves, enhancing its look. The chrome is beautifully done by Prestige Planting, while Corvette Central has modified the windshield post. It rides on Kumho 235/55R17 tires with 17 x 8.5 front and rear wheels from East Coast Vette. The soft-top has been installed by Al Knock, and the LED tail lamps are by Lambert Enterprise. The interior presents a beige and dark red theme with the steering column & dash knobs by IDITIT. All instrumentation and gauges are placed in front of the driver as the highlight being the speedometer. The cabin also features Vintage A/C by Gen II MINI, power windows, radio, speakers by Rogers Clocks, seats by Wise Guys Seats, and door panels by Baldo Upholstery.
Powering the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 is a 6.2L (283 ci) overhead valve V8 engine. It sends power to the rear wheels with the help of an automatic transmission. The chassis is from 1996 Grand Sport with 7000 miles, and front and rear suspension are from Corvette Correction. It also features a 4L65E transmission and LS2 engine, which were both purchased new from GM in 2005. The car features ABS power brakes, master cylinder, and booster. The brake lines and hoses, emergency brake cables, fuel tank, fuel filter, radiator, and fuel lines are newly upgraded. The Driveshaft (31” center to center) is by Seguin Drive Line, and Engine Wiring & computer are done by Fast Electronics. The standard engine is said to develop 230 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
Occasionally, a manufacturer comes along that wows the car industry with their truly remarkable creations, leaving even the most critical journalists stunned. This 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ Convertible, which has just under 1,600 miles on the odometer, is a car that would knock the socks off all of its competitors. The Corvette name has been around since 1953, and in that over 70-year production run, it has always fulfilled its purpose through GM’s tried and tested formula – Look good, go fast, and make a good noise. Nice to see that not much has changed.
It’s hard to believe that it's been four years since Chevrolet first revealed to the world the all-new 8th generation mid-engine Corvette. At that time, Chevy did a phenomenal job completely changing the perception of the Corvette, especially with its exotic car looks and mid-engine design. It not only has exotic sports car performance but also is easy to live with on a daily basis. Compared to its competitors, it has an affordable price tag, which brings exotic-level performance within reach to a broader audience. The C8 is offered as both a convertible and a coupe, and what we are showing in this listing is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Premium 3LT Coupe. It only has 7,500 miles on its odometer and is available for sale in Florida.

The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
