— View the entire auction on www.classiccar-auctions.com —
The Chevrolet Corvette C1 283 was the first generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, produced between 1953 and 1962. The 283 in the name refers to the 5.7-liter, 283-horsepower V8 engine that was available from 1957. The Corvette C1 283 was an iconic sports car with a striking and unique design. The exterior was inspired by the European sports cars of the time and featured a streamlined body, low roof and long nose. The interior was designed with comfort and style in mind and offered room for two people. The 283 V8 engine was available as an option in 1957 and was a major upgrade for the Corvette. It was a powerful engine with a higher compression ratio and special carburetors and exhausts that significantly improved power and performance. Other features of the Corvette C1 283 included independent front suspension, drum brakes and a top speed of approximately 177 km/h. Praised for its excellent handling, acceleration and performance, the Corvette C1 283 remains one of the most iconic sports cars of all time.
The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us.
You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop - www.eventix.shop/xmxuc9fs.
