1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Navigation
The 1957 Chevy Corvettes came with a long list of options, including power accessories, creature comforts, new colors, and a vast arrangement of engine, transmission, gear ratio, and suspension configurations. The big news was the fuel-injected engines which helped the Corvette become the fastest American car produced that year. The 283 cubic-inch fuel-injected engine delivered 283 horsepower, depending on the setup, which achieved the one horsepower per cubic inch. Just 1,040 Corvettes were equipped with the 'Fuelie' option for 1957, with only 716 of those, including this example, giving a genuine 283 horsepower.

This Corvette was given a four-year, frame-off restoration completed in 2011 at Rods by Dutch of Fountain Hills, Arizona. It is finished in Aztec Copper with beige side coves and a matching beige vinyl interior. The 283 CID engine is mated to a four-speed gearbox.
