Teknische Daten
Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand
-
Zustand technisch
The car performs well and feels strong and responsive during our test drive. The engine has a minor oil leak at the rear, beneath the distributor.
-
Zustand Interieur
The black interior and dashboard are in driver-quality condition. According to the seller, the dashboard design was unique to the 1960 model year. The loose driver’s side carpet has certainly seen better days, although the floor underneath appears to be in good condition. The center console housing the clock would benefit from being realigned, and some of the chrome trim shows light pitting. The functionality of the clock has not been verified.
-
Zustand Exterieur
paint bubbles and a few minor fiberglass blemishes. There is some chrome peeling on the left rear bumper. Parts of the chrome trim show light pitting, while other pieces remain in good condition – please refer to the photos for details.
The convertible top is in good overall condition. It folds down easily, although raising it again can be somewhat fiddly. The left exterior mirror is difficult to adjust. -
Zustand gesamt
This Corvette offers a solid foundation and performs well on the road, but it does show a number of cosmetic imperfections in both the paintwork and chrome trim. The interior could be significantly improved with some straightforward attention, including securing a few loose panels and repairing a split seam on the driver’s seat.
Overall, this is a car that would benefit from cosmetic refurbishment, yet it feels mechanically sound and healthy. Please note that the vehicle has not been inspected on a lift.
An ideal opportunity for a hands-on enthusiast looking to take the car to the next level, or for someone considering a professional repaint and restoration program with the associated work that entails.
One set of keys is included.

Fakten zum Modell
For 1958, the Corvette underwent another styling update, featuring an abundance of chrome trim. Dual headlights were introduced, along with the distinctive louvered “washboard” hood design. The extensive use of chrome also made the 1958 model the heaviest of all first-generation Corvettes.
The body remained largely unchanged until 1961, when the rear end was completely redesigned, offering a preview of the styling direction for the next generation Corvette. The new design introduced the iconic “boat-tail” rear treatment and the now-classic four round taillights, a Corvette hallmark that has remained a defining feature ever since.
The 1962 model year marked the final chapter of the legendary first-generation Corvette, the C1.
