Efforts to bring what would eventually become the Corvette to market began as early as 1951, when Harley Earl, GM's head of styling, decided to convince the company to build a sports car. Earl eventually persuaded GM that an all-American two-door sports car was a must-have in their arsenal, and work began shortly after. The 1958 model, such as our subject car, received some extensive styling changes to celebrate four years of Corvette. "It was the only Corvette on O'uha for the four years I was stationed there," said its previous owner. "A real people magnet and social provider." It's imaginable, as, during the era of chrome and quad headlights, this all original 1958 model that now resides in California was the car to be in.
The exterior is finished in what GM calls Snowcrest white and combines perfectly with all the chrome fittings that are an iconic feature of this new generation Corvette. The 58 model was also the first to welcome quad headlights, a well sought-after design at the time. The long and sleek body of the two-door convertible has never been restored and sits on a set of vintage wide whitewall tires with chrome hubcaps. On the subject of vintage American sports cars, it only seems appropriate that this Corvette boasts its exclusive signet red, a beautiful contrasting interior inclusive of a red dashboard, center console, and even red leather seats. The previous owner claims that the car is in sublime condition with all numbers matching. "Prior to my purchase, I had the vette inspected, no sign of any structural damage or repairs. I have all maintenance paperwork from the time of my purchase".
The Chevy sports a complete 283ci 4.6L small-block 2-4 carb V8 engine that has reportedly had a powertrain overhaul. Up to 245 horses are pushed to the wheels via a standard 4-speed manual transmission.

For Corvette lovers, this is Genesis. The original C1 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced in 1953 and was made for an impressive (by modern standards) nine years before its replacement was unveiled in 1962. Conceived to take on the might of the British sportscar industry, the C1 Corvette was an all-American interpretation of the classic two-seater formula. In 1955, the Corvette got an updated body, which was carried through to our featured car: a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that comes with a four-speed manual transmission and a 265ci V8 engine. This classic Corvette is ready for a new home. If you’re a lover of old-school American metal, then this could be the car you’re looking for.
This is the car that changed the iconic Corvette’s script: the Chevrolet Corvette C8. By relocating the 6.2L V8 to the middle instead of leaving it at the front, Chevrolet bred a new track monster. The C8 is a beast that costs almost half the price of its European rivals. The example we have for sale is a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT which is equipped with a Theft Deterrent System, among other choice options. The car has a mere 7,275 miles on the odometer, as it happily awaits its new owner.
When it came time to change the successful formula of the Chevrolet Corvette C1 for its second generation, there’s no doubt the design team would have been more than a little worried. Somehow they did, and the C2 Corvette has become known as an iconic design in the history of American sports cars. The 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was the last year for the C2 chassis, and it was reported that this generation of ’Vette had originally been planned to be replaced by the C3 in 1967, but the C2 was kept around a year longer. As such, the model benefitted from a light refresh going into ’67, making it one of the more desirable model years. For sale, here is a carefully cared-for example of a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible, complete with original equipment and even an optional hardtop.

The first generation Chevrolet Camaro was the genesis for the long line of models that followed. It set in motion a trend of good looks, tractable power, and all-out performance that is recognized to this day. And none did more for impressionable owners than the Camaro SS. The SS was a performance package added to the base Camaro that included larger engine options and an improved chassis to handle the extra power. It sat below the Z/28 and could be combined with the RS (Rally Sport) appearance package. The car offered for sale here is reported to have undergone a frame-off restoration, which was completed just last year. Since the work was carried out, the new engine has covered less than 2,500 miles.
