My 1957 Corvette History:
I purchased this 1957 Corvette in Queensland, Australia in June 2001. Prior to Queensland it resided in Canberra Australias capital from 1997. From 1993 it lived in Adelaide, South Australia along with a collection of other vehicles including a 1954 Corvette. I am still seeking clarification of its earlier history. It was imported into Australia around 1989 by an American along with other collectable vehicles. A full RHD mirror conversion was required at that time to drive on Australian roads.
When I found this Corvette the key components of the mechanical fuel injection unit had been dismantled. Some parts had been damaged while others were missing. After tracking down fuel injection build sheets and manuals, sorting out the many containers of pieces and sourcing correct parts in the US, the unit was restored to full working order.
At the inaugural Australian NCRS meet in March 2005 this 57 was judged and received a Third Flight and the Ladies Choice Award. |
