-Restored instrument and instrument lights (everything works except Tach needs fixed)

-Heater, fan and housing

-New Rear Axle U-Joints

-Complete original exhaust system (aluminized)

-Restored Wiper motor, new blades and arms

-New front suspension, springs and shocks

-New brake shoes (all original drum brakes)

All the labor has been done by one of the best car restorers in the Indianapolis Area (Bill Reynolds).
In 1992 the engine was completely restored with block bored, new pistons and restored, heads, valves, and crank. The car has an estimated 1,000 miles from that time up to today. The engine is detailed for show.

The car was built in January 1958 and all the numbers are matching. It is equipped with the following rare options:
-283/290 HP Fuel Injection
-4 Speed Transmission
-PosiTraction 3.70 Rear Axle
-Two Tone Signet Red with White Coves
-Soft Top Only – Hard Top Delete
-Courtesy Lights
-White Wall Tires.
This car has an extensive ownership history. It originally came from Freeport, Illinois and is believed to have been owned by one of the first Mc Donald’s Franchisees in the Quad Cities, Iowa. Since 1959 it has been owned and operated solely in the State of Indiana and it has a unique small town history including Vietnam Heroes, Racing and a Local Prosecutor. This car has touched many people’s lives during the years and is very well documented and well recognized
Over the last 4 years it has went through a bolt by bolt, off frame and rotisserie restoration. This restoration has been done by the most experienced vintage car and Corvette restoration specialists in the US. No expense has been spared.

During 2006 the Corvette has received the following awards:
☺ Top Flight - National Corvette Restoration Society, Regional, Auburn, IN. May 2006
☺ Top Flight - National Corvette Restoration Society, Regional, St.Louis, MS June 2006
