Nobody can say that General Motors wasn't hitting on all eight cylinders in the 1950s. One brilliant design after another flowed out of their design studios, and few are more timeless and widely recognized than the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. With quad headlights, the contrasting side cove, and exquisite detailing throughout, these were more than just America's sports car, they were artwork. This particular '58 features a long and storied heritage under the tutelage of the same owner since 1977, and features an older, documented frame-off restoration with only 382 miles clocked on the car since the build. A beautiful piece of GM history restored for the modern world without losing any of its former glory, C1s don't get much more special than this.

Signet Red was actually quite a popular color in 1958, although white was still by far the most popular. Given the condition of the finish, it's hard to believe this car was painted way back in 1983 when the vehicle was frame-off restored. The reason being, only a scant 382 miles have been logged on the car since it left the restoration shop almost 40 years ago. That's about as unique of a history as you'll find, as this C1 manages to occupy space in both the 'restored' and 'barn find' section of the collector car world all at once. It's obvious the same owner since '77 has taken exceptional care of this 'Vette, and although there are some signs of age in the finish that can be seen upon closer examination, the curb appeal is still top-driver quality, arguably a notch higher when you consider the age of the build. Fit and finish are excellent throughout, with tight door gaps and smooth panels that don't display the typical Corvette flaws and imperfections and those white side coves really pop out from the Signet Red body. And while some may feel that the details on the 1958 models are excessive, including hood louvers and trunk trim that were exclusive to this year, it's also what makes these cars unique and therefore desirable. Of course, there are others who feel that there's no way to make an early Corvette look bad, and all the restored trim is just part of the wonderful decade of the 1950s. Either way, this is a car that will be the center of attention anywhere it goes.

The Tuxedo Black interior also enjoyed a very thorough makeover when the car was rebuilt, restored back-to-stock to a very high level to match the exterior. Few will argue against a red-on-black Corvette, and the look is as timeless as the Corvette itself. There's not a lot of bolstering to the buckets, but fortunately they're in great shape and thanks to the use of high-end and correct materials, will wear like iron through the years. Those were new carpets in 1983 and despite some very slight fading they're in great shape too, the matching door panels give the interior a highly polished look, while the instruments, which were freshly redesigned in 1958, are in crystal clear shape with that factory tachometer in the center. The steering wheel looks original too, and you guessed it, it's in excellent shape, matching the look and feel of the cue-ball topped short shifter that manages the Borg Warner 4-speed manual transmission below. The swooping dash in crack-free and without a stress mark to speak of, and it still houses the original heater and Wonderbar AM radio. Although it's likely never seen rain, this C1 comes equipped with an original, color-matched hardtop to protect it from the elements.

The biggest engine available in 1958 was a 283, but this one sports a vintage 327/250 HP block from the early '60s, fully rebuilt with correct double hump heads, a mild cam, and a high-capacity oil pimp. Dressed to appear original, it includes an iconic chrome air cleaner, cast aluminum and finned valve covers with proper 'Corvette' script, a chrome ignition shield, and ram's horn exhaust manifolds. The engine runs beautifully thanks to a recent full-tune-up of the dual carburetors, new wiring harness, and pretty much everything else that was needed to get it road-worthy, and there's a low, mild hum from the twin tailpipes that's just a touch more throaty than the original. Pulling through the gears of the rebuilt Borg Warner T-10 4-speed manual gearbox feels as smooth as it did in 1958, with a slick linkage and great spring return from the clutch. The underside is finished to drive or show, with a freshened components and satin black paint throughout, but nothing out of order so you can hit the road without worries. 205/75/15 Coker whitewall radials on steel wheels with original Corvette wheel covers add just the right amount of '50s flash, finishing off the stock look perfectly.

Early Corvettes have been highly sought since there were little more than used cars, and it's easy to see why. These days, finding a dialed-in, fully restored C1 beauty is a lot harder than it sounds, especially one loaded with restoration photos, build records, and maintenance receipts. No way this 'Lil Red Corvette lasts long. Call today!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. 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/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
