Description
This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel Injected Convertible is a rare opportunity to own a highly sought after Corvette. In 1953, Chevrolet released the Corvette to compete as the first all-American sports car with the likes of MG, Austin Healy, and Triumph. The Corvette was a huge success; so much so that Chevrolet offered the "Ramjet" mechanical fuel injection setup as a performance option.

This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel Injected Convertible is a rare opportunity to own a highly sought after Corvette. In 1953, Chevrolet released the Corvette to compete as the first all-American sports car with the likes of MG, Austin Healy, and Triumph. The Corvette was a huge success; so much so that Chevrolet offered the “Ramjet” mechanical fuel injection setup as a performance option.
This 1957 Chevrolet is an example of a high-quality older restoration that has been maintained exceptionally well and described by the seller as nicely restored to factory condition inside and out. According to the consignor it is 1 of 713 Built as equipped and is an early production, October 1956 car. The 283ci V8 with Hi-Lift solid lifter cam runs wonderfully. It is an original 3spd car that has been updated to an era-correct Corvette aluminum T-10 4spd
The two-tone Venetian Red with Beige coves paint glimmers in the sunlight. The interior of this car is immaculate with a white dashboard, chrome knobs and red leather upholstery making the interior feel bright and open. As said before, this car is a rare opportunity to own a high-quality Corvette with the rare fuel injection package. The engine bay and undercarriage have been fully detailed.
Service work over the last winter included brakes, suspension, and proper maintenance service on the fuel injection unit. A folder of all service receipts and casting and components breakdown is available.
