Description
Vehicle Description 1957 Chevrolet Corvette $99,900 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie RoadsterOne of America’s Most Coveted Fuel-Injected CorvettesSome Corvettes are beautiful. Others are historically significant. This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie is both. Finished in stunning Cascade Green with contrasting Beige coves and a matching Beige interior, this iconic C1 represents one of the most celebrated American sports cars ever produced. Equipped with Chevrolet’s legendary Rochester mechanical fuel injection system, it belongs to an exclusive group of Corvettes that forever changed the performance landscape by becoming the first American production car to achieve one horsepower per cubic inch.Under the hood is the correct 283 cubic-inch V8 producing 283 horsepower, paired with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end. The result is the kind of exhilarating driving experience that established the Corvette as a legitimate world-class sports car and continues to captivate enthusiasts nearly seventy years later. Whether admired on the open road or displayed at a collector event, this Fuelie delivers the unmistakable character and performance that made the 1957 Corvette an American legend.Recently restored with extraordinary attention to detail, this Corvette benefited from more than 1,000 hours invested in its body and paintwork. The finish was meticulously hand wet-sanded and layered with eight coats of clear coat, creating exceptional depth, clarity, and gloss that beautifully accentuate Harley Earl’s timeless design. Completing the presentation are a restored removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, original Corvette wheel covers, power windows, and a functioning Wonder Bar radio. The gauges, lights, and accessories are all reported to be in proper working order, while the engine’s top-end rebuild, rebuilt Rochester fuel injection system, and new clutch have accumulated fewer than 5,000 miles.Whether destined for concours events, spirited weekend drives, or an elite private collection, this Fuel-Injected 1957 Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Chevrolet’s most legendary creations. Combining rarity, historical significance, timeless styling, and exceptional restoration quality, this is the kind of Corvette collectors spend years searching to find.HighlightsRare 1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1 FuelieCorrect 283ci / 283 HP V8 engineLegendary Rochester mechanical fuel injection system4-speed manual transmissionPositraction rear axleCascade Green exterior with Beige covesBeige interiorRestored removable hardtopWhite convertible soft topPower windowsWorking Wonder Bar radioLess than 5,000 miles on the engine top-end rebuildRebuilt Rochester fuel injection systemNew clutchProfessional restoration and refurbishmentOver 1,000 hours invested in the body and paintEight coats of clear coat with hand wet-sanded finishGauges, lights, and accessories in working orderOriginal Corvette wheel coversOdometer reads 88,500 miles
