Here is an opportunity to own a very rare and restored piece of vintage 1960’s drag racing. This is an original fuel injected 1957 Chevrolet Corvette which is believed to have competed at the drag strips in the southeastern USA during the mid-60’s to early 70’s in either the gasser or modified sports classes.

NO TRADES

PLEASE NOTE….ALL BIDS AND OFFERS MADE ON ANY VEHICLE(S) WILL FOLLOW EBAY’S PROTOCOL OF PURCHASING. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE THE BID OR OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED THE BUYER AGREES TO PURCHASE THE CAR IN “AS IS” CONDITION.

The known history of the car started approximately 13 years ago when it was found in a Florida storage facility where it had supposedly stayed, unmolested since about 1985. It was then purchased by a collector in 2016 who did a complete frame-off restoration but retained the original 60’s green and gold metal flake paint! No work was done to the body so it can retain the original “patina” of that era. He also refinished and used some of the original and rare performance parts of that period such as an NHRA approved Ansen bellhousing and an AC Tachometer.

The Corvette uses a rare, modified Bill Thomas Rochester fuel injection unit which was tuned by Larry Webb. The Vette starts easily and runs great without any overheating issues.

Everything in this car has been redone. From the powder coated frame with a vintage Eelco front lift kit to the Al Knoch seats.

This fuel injected Corvette is now driven on the street and has new wiring for lights, turn signals, horns, and a complete exhaust system with electronic cut outs. Please note there is no emergency brake or wipers. The total mileage on the car since restoration is approximately 1,000 miles.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
