Unrestored, original, and iconic — this 1957 fuel-injected Corvette is a Motor Trend–featured legend with incredible history and preservation.
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, showing just 58,361 mi (93,902 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Venetian Red with Polo White coves over a red interior, this fuel-injected C1 represents one of the most iconic American sports cars ever built.
This example is exceptionally well preserved. Retaining its original interior and numbers-matching engine - this Corvette has never been modified, but did undergo a repaint sometime in the past. This alone places it among the most desirable of C1s, but its provenance elevates it even further.
Sourced from the Don Pulver Collection and previously owned by Ed Thiebaud, this Corvette carries a remarkable history, including a feature in Motor Trend Magazine in 1971. With documentation dating back to 1970, it stands as a rare blend of authenticity, pedigree, and long-term preservation.
