Vehicle Original VIN : AZ381495 So, it may look like a Corvette but this thing is far from a 1960 Corvette. This was a multi-year build with an open check book. For starters this build features a smoothed custom firewall and fender wells, smoothed underside finished in a custom white exterior and tungsten coves to match the wheel accents. It was mounted on a SRIII custom tube chassis that was powder coated, it was mounted on a C5/C6 front and rear independent suspension, it has a TruTrac 9-inch differential with 3.50 gears. The power comes from a 430 HP LS3 6.2 liter that is backed by a TKO 5-speed transmission.

This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a beautifully restored C1 Corvette with an eye-catching look and a 4 speed manual transmission to boot! In 1952, General Motors celebrated its Golden Anniversary, recognizing its own achievement of 50 years of automobile production. As part of the Golden Anniversary festivities, GM tasked its marques with producing a show car. Cadillac launched the Eldorado, Buick introduced the Skylark, and Oldsmobile debuted the Fiesta. While all 3 of these cars would be put into production in the following 1953 model year, none of these seem to pale in comparison to Chevrolet's Anniversary 2-seater show car, the EX-122.

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a gorgeous C1 Corvette sporting performance upgrades and finished in the ultra rare Panama Yellow! When Chevrolet displayed its 2 seater Show Car then known as the EX-122 at the 1952 Motorama, it was a quite a novel idea. First of all, a 2-seat American-made sports car was unheard of in the day with the genre dominated by European imports. Second, the EX-122 was a fiberglass-bodied car which further added to the car's uniqueness. While it's extremely rare for show cars to be placed into production, Chevrolet bucked that trend and actually began producing an EX-122 successor in 1953. That car was named the Corvette and became one of Chevrolet's greatest successes and became one of the greatest American made cars of all time.

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 27th year in the classic and muscle car business. For as long as most people can remember the Chevrolet Corvette has been the standard bearer of American performance cars. What is often forgotten is the fact that only some serious scrambling by GM's engineering staff, and Zora Arkus-Duntov in particular, changed the Corvette from a stylish cruiser into a serious sports car that could challenge the world. This gorgeous 1957 Chevrolet Corvette is an outstanding example of Chevrolet's first world-class sports car.

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 27th year in the classic and muscle car business. This one is special. This exquisite 1957 Corvette was once the centerpiece of legendary collector Dr. Jack Frost's collection. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he was known for owning stunners like the 1969 L88 roadster he bought new, and then kept! This NCRS Top Flight Award winner (95.1 points!) was acquired by Dr. Frost from the original owner on March 13, 1966 and driven approximately 1000 miles over the next 23 years. When purchased by the doctor's son in 1989 he stated that after servicing the car for a day, he drove it 400 miles to Indianapolis from Iowa!

After disappointing sales in 1953 and 1954, Chevrolet nearly cancelled the entire program. What turned things around was a combination of the 1956 redesign, which finally gave the Corvette real styling credibility, and the 1957 model year, which gave it a genuine engine to match. The introduction of Chevrolet's 283 cubic inch small-block V8 with optional fuel injection â?" the first American production engine to achieve one horsepower per cubic inch â?" put the Corvette on the world stage as a serious sports car.
