1953 till 1955 were the first years of the Corvette C1. In those years not many Corvettes were produced, in 1955 only 700 cars. 1955 was the first year in which the V8 was placed in the Corvette. This Corvette has been restored with an eye for Detail and is in a very good condition. This beautiful red Corvette has a Gypse Red paint which looks really amazing! The paint is in very good condition. There where only 180 Corvettes made with this color combination! The optional 4.3 liter V8 engine runs very well and the Powerglide transmission shifts perfectly. The white top is like new and in excellent condition. The Corvette has beautiful White Wall tires with the original hubcaps.
