1957 CHEVROLET CORVETTE RARE 283 C.I./ 250 H.P., AUTO, #'S MATCH V.G. COND.video

1957 Chevrolet Corvette FUEL INJECTED; AUTOMATIC Description

Original 1957 Chevrolet Corvette powered by the numbers matching 283 cu. in. / 250 h.p. engine with the numbers matching fuel injection and backed by the original 2-speed Power glide transmission.

NO TRADES

The current owner purchased the car approximately 8 years ago from a ‘dealer’ in the Northeast, and it came with no papers or documentation. It is believed to have not come with a soft top and the hardtop has been reconditioned and remains boxed up. No photos were taken since it was not opened, but it does come with the car. Current mileage shows to be 104,000 and it is believed that somewhere during its ownership the car had the drive line, suspension, and some of the chrome rebuilt or replaced.

A phone call was made to the Corvette registry and it is believed a fuel injected 283/250 h.p. backed by a Power glide automatic transmission was rare and they only had record of 3 cars in existence…this made number 4. I know everyone talks about “numbers matching” all the time, and I will admit that I am not a Corvette expert, but the car was evaluated by a well-respected shop (Tony’s Corvette Shop, in Gaithersburg, MD) and this is their evaluation.

It is a fuel injected; automatic Corvette painted in its original Polo white with a silver cove. The lacquer paint is a repaint and shows some age with ‘crow’s feet’ in areas (see photos). Most of the chrome is original with some parts like the rear bumper and emblems being re-plated or replaced. All of the body panels and bonding strips are original and still in place. The car does not appear to have been in any serious accidents, the only spot that shows some repair is the left front marker light area.

The entire report will of course go with the car when it is sold.

The ’57 starts easily and runs great. Pleasure to drive.

Listed below are SOME of the numbers pulled from the report which helped to verify the Corvettes originality.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles 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!!
