Featured on AutoHunter is this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, which is powered by an upgraded 327ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Cascade Green with white coves and equipped with an off-white soft top over a Parchment vinyl interior, this C1 Corvette is now offered by the selling dealer in Missouri with a matching removable hardtop and a clear Illinois title.
The Cascade Green body is accented with white coves and chrome bumperettes and trim.
When the body-colored removable hardtop is not in place, an off-white soft top with a plastic rear window can be used to cover the passenger compartment.
This first-generation Corvette rolls on 15-inch wheels wheels equipped with polished covers that have knock-off-style center caps and 205/75 whitewall tires.
Inside the cockpit is a pair of Parchment vinyl bucket seats. Features include manual windows, dash-mounted rearview mirror, Wonder Bar radio, and heater. The trunk contains a whitewall spare tire.
Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery. The odometer shows 44,090 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
The original 283ci V8 has been replaced with a 327, which is equipped with ribbed valve covers and a polished air cleaner housing, and connected to a three-speed manual gearbox.
An independent front suspension and semi-elliptic rear springs help this Vette hold the road. Drum brakes keep it painted-side-up. A dual exhaust system exits from bumperettes on both sides of the rear end.
The auction for this 327-powered 1957 Chevrolet Corvette ends on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. (PDT).
