While the allure of a first-generation Corvette is easy enough for anyone to see, the fact is that driving a car that is six or seven decades old has some drawbacks. Aging technology and worn-down parts can often create as much anxiety as excitement for a new owner. However, when a car like this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod comes along, it can bring with it the best of both the classic and contemporary automotive universes. Mini-tubbed and fully repainted in a vibrant red exterior with white coves, this C1 comes with a color-matched removable accessory hardtop. Best of all, it has less than ten miles on it since being resurrected into this modern muscle machine.
Step inside this retro roadster, and you're treated to a restored leather interior. Featuring a set of Wise Guy bucket seats, this 'Vette also shows off an updated six-pod gauge cluster. An original-looking radio that cleverly hides its Bluetooth capabilities, while the subtle-yet-racy three-spoke steering wheel hints that this is not your grandfather's Corvette.
Under the hood, we find a well-adorned engine bay that holds a stout 6.0-lliter iron-block V-8 engine. Topped with a set of aluminum LS3 heads, this potent small-block breathes in through a VMS Racing cold-air intake and exhales via a set of long tube headers connected to a true dual exhaust. That power is funneled through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to a Ford nine-inch rear end that is built to take on as much twist as this V-8 can throw at it.

Unlike the original version, this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod rides on a fully independent suspension that utilizes a tubular A-arm front end, four-link rear, and adjustable coil-overs at all four corners. A set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors work with Wilwood power-assisted brakes to allow this C1 to handle and stop like a car much, much younger than it is. If you've always had your eye on a first-gen Corvette but want to avoid the potential pratfalls and headaches of a six-plus-decade-old car, then there is no better car than this '57 restomod. Don't wait, call today!
