Description:
1957 Chevrolet Corvette convertible
I believe it won't be very long until there are no more reasonably priced '57 Corvettes available. Prices have just escalated at a remarkable rate over the last few years. This one is a great '57 Corvette project car, including thousands of dollars in parts, and it's my last Corvette project car. See detailed lists for what is included. I've been gathering parts for this one for months, and I believe I have almost everything to finish it except for a few minor things. This '57 has recently had a new front end from the doors forward very nicely installed. It has an extremely nice, solid '62 frame with no rust or damage, new tie rods installed, and very nice, tight steering. New tires on stock wheels and new hub caps. It still needs most brake parts. I was considering installing a disc brake system, so I haven't addressed any brake parts yet except for a new master cylinder. A strong running 350" motor I removed from an SS Chevelle has been installed (see parts list), with a new clutch, along with a 1962 Borg Warner T10 4 speed transmission, Hurst shifter, and a new driveshaft. The doors, hood, trunk lid, and deck lid are hinged. Some very minor body work is still needed. Almost all of the major parts are included, saving you the difficulty, time, and expense of locating all of these hard to get items. See the itemized lists of what is included. A new aftermarket electric windshield wiper system is also included. Includes a very nice interior: nice seat upholstery on very nice original frames and tracks, new door panels, new kick panels, new carpeting, etc. Also includes a nice convertible top assembly, along with a recent black Stayfast black top and a new weatherstrip set to be installed.
