"Ride Of The Month June 2009"     1958 Chevrolet Corvette

This is my 1958 Corvette.  Nothing stock about it!  My dad bought this car back in 1975 and has pretty much only driven it a handful of times.  He passed the keys onto me, so my wife (Angie) and I have made a few changes.

It has a 327 and Muncie 4-Speed trans.  We went thru the motor and transmission. We put a Roller Cam, Brodix heads and Holley Street Dominator intake on it, along with a HEI ignition, Hooker headers and Flowmaster 2.5” exhaust to help with the increase in power.  We had the Muncie trans rebuilt, added a Zoom Clutch system, and upgraded the driveshaft.   Outback, it has a 12-Bolt Posi with a 3.73.  It rolls on Weld Wheels and BF Goodrich rubber. 

The paint is the same from when my dad bought it over 30 years ago.  Just used Mothers Wax and Polish to bring it back to life. The seats are from a 70’s vette, and have been painted black to match the interior.

The top comes off during sunny days, and it’s a turn-key cruiser.  We’re doing the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2009.

Thank You.
