Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful 1958 Chevrolet Corvette FUELIE 290 Horsepower!
Every once in a while, a car comes along where we love the story as much as the car- this beautiful 58 Fuelie is one of those cars. Purchased new by its original owner in 1958 he maintained ownership until sometime around 2010! That's right, over 50 years with the original owner.
Documented with its original purchase agreement, original title, original loan documents and more this is certainly an exceptional amount of paperwork to get with a 58 Vette- how many have you seen documented like this? Hen's teeth rare.
Powered by its numbers matching 290 Horse Fuel Injected engine (the highest horsepower you could get in 1958) and backed by a 4-speeed transmission this is one wonderfully performing old car. Stunning in its original color combination of Charcoal Metallic over red this 58 has a great look. She's equipped with a factory hardtop and of course a soft top. This vette is pleasing to the eye.
After a long term slumber this 58 was treated to a ground up restoration buy its original owner to bring it back to the beautiful glory of his youth. The quality is very, very nice and was probably completed 20 plus years ago and is holding up quite nicely with just a gentle patina. We believe the trunk area is completely original, having just been left as it was during the restoration. We have been told that the mileage of 63K is original but we have no way to verify that ...believable but not verifiable.
Our intention over the next period of time is to prepare this 58 for Top Flight judging, we think she will fare very well, and if we do manage to get the Top Flight done please understand the price will be adjusted up to 159K at that time.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet…. We pride ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
