This exceptionally preserved Chevrolet Corvette from 1958 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a largely untouched C1 finished in one of the model’s most striking combinations. Showing just under 44,600 documented original miles, the car wears its factory Tuxedo Black paint with silver coves over a red vinyl interior, a combination believed to be one of only 199 produced according to NCRS records.
Offered through SBX Cars, this Corvette comes with extensive documentation, including service records, manuals, NCRS reference material, spare parts, and a detailed ownership history. Power comes from a numbers-matching 283ci V8 equipped with dual Carter four-barrel carburetors, rated at 245 horsepower and paired with a three-speed manual transmission.
Originally sold new in Ontario, Canada, the car later spent roughly a decade on display in Helsinki, Finland, where it was registered and retains its Finnish plates. Despite returning to North America, it has never been titled in the United States. The Corvette made a public appearance at the 2023 Pigeon Forge Corvette Expo, earning praise for the preservation of its original paint and overall condition.
With a newer black soft top, classic quad-headlight styling, and a fully traceable history back to its original purchase price of $5,795, this C1 is an investment-grade example of Chevrolet’s formative sports car years—timeless, authentic, and increasingly hard to find.
