This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette, acquired by the seller as an unfinished project in 2020, underwent a thorough two-year refurbishment that concluded in April 2024. The vehicle is now powered by a 6.0-liter LSX V8 engine, enhanced with a 2.9-liter Magnuson supercharger, a Concept One serpentine belt system, Holley fuel injection, stainless-steel exhaust, and an Aeromotive fuel system. Power is delivered through a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission, accompanied by a twin-disc clutch, C3 rear differential, and an aluminum driveshaft. The exterior features a metallic green finish with cream coves, mounted on an Art Morrison chassis. Additional modifications include staggered Raceline Classico wheels, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, cream leather upholstery, Vintage Air climate control, a Hurst shifter, a JL Audio head unit, and Dakota Digital instrumentation. The modified C1 Corvette is now available with a Utah title under the seller’s name.
The body has been refinished in metallic green with cream coves, and the soft top mechanism has been removed. Exterior highlights include split chrome bumpers, fender vents, and a driver-side mirror.
Raceline Classico wheels, 18″ in the front and 20″ in the rear, are fitted with Nitto tires sized 255/35 and 295/30, respectively. The seller mentions that the first-generation Art Morrison chassis is powder-coated and equipped with C5-spec front and C4-spec rear components. The car features power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and Wilwood six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, paired with cross-drilled and slotted discs.
The interior boasts bucket seats re-trimmed in cream leather, extending to the center armrest, gear shift boot, and door panels. The build also incorporates an American Autowire harness, a Hurst shifter, Vintage Air climate control system, a JL Audio head unit, and a subwoofer.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation, including a 160-mph speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer reads 300 miles, though the total mileage is unknown.
The 6.0-liter LSX V8 engine is equipped with a 2.9-liter Magnuson supercharger, Concept One serpentine belt system, Holley Terminator X fuel injection, black Holley valve covers, stainless-steel headers, and a stainless-steel exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers that exit behind the rear bumper. The build also includes an Aeromotive fuel system with an in-tank pump and braided fuel lines, along with a Ron Davis aluminum radiator with dual fans.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and a C3 Corvette-sourced rear differential. The setup also includes a McLeod 11-inch twin-disc clutch and a 2.5″ aluminum driveshaft.
