1958 Corvette Convertible, RPO-684 HD braker, 283-290 hp, (fuelie), 4 speed, numbers match. Tuxedo Black paint with Signet Red interior and Black soft top. Personal rotisserie body-off restoration with no expense spared. NCRS Top Flight certified in August 2007. Only 493 Corvettes were produced in Tuxedo Black in 1958. In 1958, an elaborate fiberglass ducting system was added to the big brake option package that was very unique. Along with the oversized finned brake drums, the screens and vent scoops on the brake backing plates, the fiberglass ducting served to cool the brakes. Only 144 big brake cars were produced in 1958 and of those only 26 had the 3:70:1 ratio differential. Most of the cars produced with this option were raced. This, less than half of the 144 cars built with this option in 1958 are known to exist today. The Black color option was not available to order until April 1958 and is also quite unique for the 1958 Corvette. This car is the most beautiful C1 Corvette ever made. Optioned with heavy duty racing suspension and brakes (1 of 144 produced), T-10 transmission, 3.70 posi, radio delete, off road exhaust, courtesy light, heater, dog dish hubcaps, and 670x15" blackwall tires. Most all factory correct type components including the spare, jack, jack tools, trunk mat, trunk liner, rebound straps, spiral shocks, seat belts, tar top battery, fast steering adapter, shifter, air cleaner, generator, washboard hood, trunk irons, owners manual, sales brochure, and T-3 headlights. Documented with the NCRS certificate, judging sheets, ribbon, show boards, restoration photos.

This car is a match set with our 2008 Corvette Z06 Coupe with 6 actual miles, 6 speed, 505 hp. Black paint with Black/Red interior. Ordered to be produced with the last 6 VIN numbers to match 1958 Black Corvette. Both cars were the 8,189th cars made in their respective years making the cars exactly 50 years apart in production numbers. This 2008 Black Z06 has a 505 hp fuel injected engine with a 6-speed, Black and Red interior, smoke gray wheels, and most of the other options available at the time of production.
