Vehicles from the Don Davis Collection will be offered Saturday, May 22nd. For lot numbers, selling times and to view additional photos, visit www.MECUM.com.


After pacing the Indianapolis 500 in its debut year, the Camaro was back at the Brickyard in 1969 with a new special Pace Car option package, first seen in the 130 cars assigned to the race and related festivities. Sold under RPO Z11, the 1969 Pace Cars were all Dover White RS/SS convertibles with orange houndstooth interiors, orange Z/28-style striping, white body sills and rear panels, Rally Wheels, bright exhaust tips, and cowl induction hoods. Here you will find all of the correct Z11 required options including C05 white convertible top, D80 spoilers, YA1 deluxe seatbelts, ZJ7 rally wheels, ZL2 special ducted hood, Z22 Rally Sport, Z27 Super Sport, and Z87 custom interior (orange houndstooth, code 720).

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car Convertible 427/630 HP


Based on a rare Z11 Indy Pace Car convertible, this 1969 Camaro SS396 has

been upgraded with a completely custom driveline built under supervision of Mark Campbell of Street and Performance, and a full serving of modern underpinnings and equipment. Beneath the all-new Dover White and Hugger Orange bodywork is a new TCI chassis riding on a fully adjustable coil-over suspension and equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, new Ford 9-inch 3.73 third member, 4-wheel disc brakes and Goodrich T/As on 8-inch Rally wheels. The chromed and polished all-aluminum LS2 engine, a show-piece all its own, is bolstered with an intercooled Magnuson supercharger to the tune of 630 horsepower, all of it transmitted through a U.S. Brake hydraulic clutch to a Tremec 6-speed. The underhood presentation is exquisite, with smoothed Hugger Orange surfaces and plenty of brightwork. The Orange houndstooth Z87 custom interior combines traditional features such as a tilt Rosewood steering wheel, molded door panels and woodgrain trim with Autometer electronic gauges, in-dash Vintage Air and an iPod-ready Kenwood stereo and amplifier.

Ford

injected more power into their full size lineup in 1962 with the introduction of the new big block 406 CI engine, which was offered with a choice of 385 HP single 4-barrel or 405 HP Tri Power carburetion. Dubbed the “Thunderbird 406 Super High-Performance Tri Power� package, the G-code 405 HP option included a 4 speed transmission, heavy-duty suspension, fade-resistant drum brakes, high-capacity radiator and larger 15-inch wheels. While the package usually appeared in the Galaxie 500 hardtop and pillared coupe, a few found their way into the 500XL hardtop coupes and 500XL Sunliner convertibles introduced mid-year. Thanks to their racing successes, these big block legends have today become highly desirable collector pieces, especially examples such as the exceedingly rare Sunliner convertible version offered here. Rotisserie restored and completed in 2007, this rare and beautiful 406 Sunliner is documented by its original build sheet as one of the very few Tri Power Sunliners built by the factory. Highlights: - Viking Blue - White convertible power top - 406/405 HP Thunderbird V-8 - Tri power carburetion - Dual exhaust - Original style battery - Power steering - 4-speed transmission - 9-inch 4.11 ratio open rear end - Color-keyed Blue interior - Bucket seats - Center console - Tinted glass - Push button AM radio with rear deck speaker - Spare w/jack - Ford steel wheels w/dog dish caps - BF Goodrich bias-ply narrow Whitewalls

1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback 428/335 HP Cobra Jet Ram Air


Bold new styling set the 1969 Shelby GT350 and GT500 apart from both their

predecessors and just about every other American performance machine, as demonstrated in this show-stopping GT500 powered by the celebrated 428/335 HP Cobra Jet Ram Air V-8. Its attractive Acapulco Blue finish is highlighted by terrific fit and finish, well-restored chrome and brightwork and aluminum-center 5-spoke wheels wearing period correct Firestone Wide Ovals. The Shelby-standard Deluxe Interior includes a Sport Deck rear seat, AM radio; deluxe belts and warning light, tach and trip odometer, and features dealer installed factory air conditioning. Seat covers, carpets and headliner all appear factory fresh, and the factory-stock gauges and other electrical components are nicely restored. Rated at 335 horsepower, the 428 CJ engine employs a Holley 4bbl carburetor atop the competition 427 intake manifold, free-breathing heads and baffled oil pan, and is backed with Ford’s heavy-duty C6 automatic and Traction-Loc differential. Great presentation and an excellent driving experience make this low-production big block Shelby, a solid collector car with huge appreciation potential. Highlights: - 428/335 HP Cobra Jet Ram Air V-8 - C6 automatic - Traction-Loc differential - Dealer installed factory air conditioning - Acapulco Blue with Black Deluxe Décor interior - Power steering and brakes - Visibility Group - Sport Deck rear seat - AM radio - Deluxe belts and warning light - Firestone Wide Ovals on aluminum center Shelby wheels - Fresh presentation - Low production numbers - Build sheets - Marti Report


Distinguished by its innovative low-profile “tiara” roof and pastel two-tone paint schemes, the 1956 Crown Victoria remains one of Ford’s all-time gems from the mid-Fifties era. The model 64B glass-topped Crown Victoria offered here is one of only 603 produced in 1956, its superb condition the result of a complete frame-off restoration on a solid rust-free example, with every piece, including the 312 V8 engine, Ford-O-Matic transmission and power steering, either rebuilt or replaced with new parts or components. The two-tone Springmist Green and White paint, chrome and stainless trim have all been restored to Concours quality, with a continental kit, dual exhaust and wire spoke wheel covers adding plenty of period flash. The matching Green interior reaches the same high level of finish, completing this outstanding restoration of Ford’s innovative Fifties flagship. Highlights: - Model 64B glass-topped Crown Victoria - 312/225 HP Thunderbird Special V-8 - Ford-O-Matic transmission - Power steering - Springmist Green and White with Green interior - Frame-off restoration - Superb Concours condition throughout - Continental kit - Dual exhaust - Wire spoke wheel covers

2004 Chevrolet Corvette CRC Conversion


Custom-built by Classic Reflections Coachworks, this stunning machine is based on a 2004 Commemorative Edition Corvette. It has all the comfort, options and performance of the 2004 Corvette with the timeless style of the 1962 model. The car is equipped with all 2004 Commemorative Edition options.

No original 1962 Corvettes were harmed in the process of executing this dynamic conversion by CRC, who have earned an excellent reputation for employing only the best materials and talent. The computer-designed CRC body is made from SPRINT CBS, a unique composite material used by several companies in Europe in such exotics as the Aston Martin, Mercedes-McLaren SLR and MG X-Power SV. The material is a balance of carbon fiber and e-glass layers placed on either side of a pre-cast, pre-catalyzed resin film. After the vacuum bagging process and high temperature cure, the parts are treated with a DuPont paint system which has been developed for use on this material. The surfacing material, along with the DuPont system virtually eliminates any pattern bleed through on the outer surface ensuring a remarkable finish. The cockpit, drivetrain, suspension and brakes are 100 percent 2004 Corvette, giving the driver and guest the full C5 driving experience with the added panache of its beautiful 1962-style body. With only 17,500 miles on the clock, the car performs completely as new. Highlights: - 2004 Corvette Commemorative Edition - Converted by Classic Reflections Coachworks to 1962-style body - 346/350 HP LS1 V-8 - 4-speed automatic - 17,500 miles - C6 Z06-style wheels - Delco stereo CD - Leather sport seats - 50th Anniversary markings


Originally a Texas/Colorado car, this 1970 Mustang Mach 1 is a rare and very wellequipped model powered by its original, matching-numbers “R” code 428/335 HP Cobra Jet Ram Air V-8 mated to a C-6 automatic, a combination that appeared in just 1,130 Mach 1s. Only 4 were also equipped with factory air conditioning, and this is the only one also fitted with optional Argent styled steel wheels. Along with its aluminum rocker panel moldings and Black striping, the Mach 1’s distinctive exterior trim features a Shaker scoop, front and rear spoilers and Sport slats, dramatic contrasts to its brilliant Grabber Orange paint. Inside, the White Décor Group interior adds further desirability with Comfortweave bucket seats, console, round dial in-dash clock, fold-down rear seat, AM/FM stereo and woodgrain trim. The unique array of features listed in the car’s Marti Report is elevated by its superb detailing and overall correctness, because this rare Mach 1 was rotisserie restored five years ago and has since been carefully maintained, so that it is ready for judging at any event. Highlights: - Rare original matching-numbers 428/335 HP CJ engine and transmission - Amarillo, TX/Colorado Car - Rust Free Original Sheet Metal - Factory Air Conditioning - Grabber Orange/White interior - C-6 automatic transmission - Power steering and brakes - Fold-down rear seat - Sport Slats - Marti Report - 2,501 equipped with 428/335 Cobra Jet - 1,130 automatic transmission - 87 painted Grabber Orange - 8 Ordered With Sport Slats - 4 with air conditioning - 1 with Argent styled steel wheels

The undercarriage is presented in very good condition as well, revealing the well-engineered torsion-bar suspension that provided the handling prowess and high-speed stability that truly differentiated the Chrysler 300 from lesser cars. Highlights: - Mardi Gras Red with Saddle interior - 413/375 HP Cross Ram V-8 - Push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission - Power steering - Power brakes - Power windows - Power top - Wide Whitewall tires - Wire wheels - Restored


Plymouth created an elegant and powerful classic in the 1965 Satellite, offered here in exceptionally rare convertible form, so rare in fact that it is one of only 44 built and only 2 known to be registered today.

1956 Chevrolet Nomad 265/225 HP


Upon its return in 1956, Chevrolet’s stylish Nomad station wagon was named by Motor Trend magazine as one of the year’s most beautiful cars, a point driven home by this striking multiple award winner that has been driven a mere 9 miles since a completely frame-off, no-expense-spared restoration. The meticulously prepared exterior is finished in Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory and capped with exceptional chrome and brightwork, and the theme carries over into the interior, which has been redone in correct factory materials throughout. The seat covers, carpet, and headliner all appear as new from the factory, and all gauges operate and appear as new. This exceptional Nomad is one of only 20 equipped with Chevrolet’s 265/225 HP dual quad V-8, mated in this case to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic. Equipped with the rare “batwing” air cleaner, the powerplant and surrounding area are thoroughly and correctly detailed. The rest of the mechanicals and undercarriage have been likewise renewed to factory-original specs with all correct finishes. Optional extras include a Wonderbar radio, wire wheel covers, rocker moldings, and front and rear bumper guards. Winner of countless awards, the car has always scored at least 993 of 1000 points in national judging and must be considered one of the finest of its kind. Highlights: - Only 8,103 1956 Nomads produced - 1 of 20 equipped with 265/225 HP dual quad V-8 - Powerglide automatic - 100% body off restoration - Tropical Turquoise and India Ivory - Has never scored less than 993 of 1000 in national judging - Too many awards to list - 9 miles since restoration


The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is one of the lasting symbols of the American automobile’s golden age, and the exquisite convertible version offered here is certainly one of the best in existence today. It has been driven only a few test miles since emerging from a frame-off restoration that has taken it beyond as-new condition throughout. Its remarkable quality is literally reflected in the glass-like Tuxedo Black paint covering the laser-straight body, and further evidenced in the complementary Red and Silver interior. Restored using all correct materials, the seat covers, carpet, and convertible top all appear better than new from the factory. Under the hood of this beautiful Bel Air beats the heart of a Corvette: a rare inline dual-quad 283/270 HP small block backed by a column-shifted three-speed manual. The detailing inside the engine compartment is every bit as spectacular as the rest of the car, undoubtedly to national show-winning standards right down to the smallest detail. Capped with a sparkling new Black soft top and rolling on wide Whitewalls with spinner wheel covers, this is as attractive a ’57 Bel Air as they come. Highlights: - Tuxedo Black with Black top and Red/Silver interior - 100% body-off restoration - Factory dual 4bbl 283/270 HP V-8 - Factory 3-speed manual - Whitewall tires, spinner hubcaps - Dual exhaust - Only test miles since finished

1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, 390/345 HP Tri Power


Cadillac emerged from the styling excesses of the Fifties with a new level

of elegance and refinement in its 1960 models. Occupying the top level of luxury and power that year was the Eldorado Biarritz convertible, which set a new Cadillac standard. With air conditioning, bucket seats and the mammoth Tri Power 390 V-8, this 1960 Biarritz convertible possesses a combination of features that came together in perhaps fewer than 10 production examples. Finished in Lucerne Blue with matching Blue top and leather interior, the car’s superb presentation is due in large part to its masterful restoration by an AACA Judge and former President of the Cadillac/LaSalle Club. Its long list of standard equipment includes a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, Cruise Control, a Guide-Matic headlight dimmer and E-Z-Eye glass. Power steering and brakes, power windows, no-drafts and a power top are also typical Cadillac features. While the quality of this prize Cadillac speaks for itself, others have spoken as well, most notably the Antique Automobile Club of America, which has crowned it with several national awards since 1992. Highlights:

- Lucerne Blue (Factory Code #94) - Blue top (Factory Code #5) - Blue Leather Bucket Seats (Factory Code 13B) - 390/345 HP Tri Power - Hydra-Matic automatic three-speed - Factory Air-Conditioning - Factory Accessory Codes: CEHK - E-Z-Eye Glass, Heater, Cruise Control - AACA National Jr. - 1992, Tucson, AZ - AACA Special National Award “James Melton Memorial Cup” - 1993 - AACA National Sr. - 1999 - Tucson, AZ - Possibly fewer than 10 built with factory air-conditioning, bucket seats and Tri Power - Owned and restored by a former President of the Cadillac/LaSalle Club and AACA Judge


The 1939 Ford’s timeless good looks are played to great effect in this cleanly executed all-steel Deluxe convertible whose only outward modification is its rakish lowered stance. Frame-off restored and finished in classic Dove Grey with Black soft top and triple-plated factory chrome, its subtle visuals hide both a modern drivetrain and a particularly tasteful interior treatment. A Roush crate small block provides 425 horsepower to an automatic overdrive transmission, with Mustang II steering, multi-leaf rear suspension and power front disc/rear drum brakes for enhanced performance. Pleated Oxblood leather is used on the seating and interior panels, while the original dash houses black-faced Classic Instruments analog gauges. The in-dash center grille that formerly held the radio speaker now provides occupants with ice cold Vintage air, and the original-style steering wheel, column, and column shift lever are perfect aesthetic compliments to the modern upgrades, which together culminate in one elegant and classy ride. Highlights: - Rare all-steel 1939 Ford Deluxe convertible - Frame-off restoration - Dove Grey with Black top and Oxblood interior - Roush Racing V-8 crate engine - Automatic overdrive transmission - Power front disc brakes, rear drums - Mustang II steering - Vintage Air - Only 1,677 miles since finished

1951 Mercury Convertible


The 1951 Mercury featured a new grille integrated with the turn-signal lights and front bumper. Vertical taillights were incorporated into the design, as was a new wraparound rear bumper made possible by a deeper quarter panels. All FoMoCo products were restyled for 1952, making this the last model to feature the streamlined styling that came to wide popularity in the early post-war years. Perhaps most notably, the new cars were advertised with a “three-way choice.” Customers had the choice of a standard gearshift steering column, the top-of-the-line Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission, or the Touch-O-Matic overdrive transmission. In the 1951 model year, Mercury produced 142,168 coupes, but only 6,759 convertibles found their way onto American roads - slightly less than five percent. This attractive convertible retains its original 255/112 HP motor and is beautifully finished correct Avon Blue with two-tone Blue interior and Blue top; very few of these cars were ordered with triple Blue making this special car highly desirable. It is as brilliant an example as can be had, having recently received a professional Concours quality restoration. Besides being restored to original factory specifications, this Merc also features the manual 3 speed Touch-O-Matic overdrive, power top, power windows, fender skirts, bumper guards, and a brand-new Haartz Sta-fast top. Ever since James Dean immortalized his Mercury in the classic “Rebel Without A Cause” movie, 1949 to 1951 models have become a favorite among hot rod and custom car builders, making highly original examples such as this one a hot commodity indeed. Highlights: - 255/112 HP Flathead - 3-Speed Touch-O-Matic overdrive - Avon Blue with two-tone Blue interior, Blue top - Power top - Power windows - Fender skirts - Bumper guards - Brand-new Haartz Sta-fast top


Ford’s Mustang GT could be had with a wide choice of engines in 1969. Unlike

the new Mach 1, the GT package was still available in convertible form, allowing adventurous buyers to enjoy big-block performance with the wind in their hair. The formula is embodied in all its glory in this one-of-a-kind triple-Black GT, one of the rarest GT Mustangs in the world. Only 50 convertibles were built with the Q-code 428 Cobra Jet V-8, 20 of which were 4-speed cars. Of those 20, only 9 were GTequipped; only 2 were finished in Raven Black, and only this car employed the rare Traction-Lok rear end, in this case with a 3.50 gear set. That is one very special package, one made even better by a recent professional restoration that has the car in an as-new state, with nothing more than test miles since its completion, and it is spectacular. Gleaming Raven Black paint combines with chromed GT wheels, a GT competition-style gas cap, chromed quad exhaust outlets and a front spoiler for great visual impact, while inside the Black interior features a console, 8,000 RPM tach, woodgrain trim and an AM radio. In addition, the Black manual soft top is accompanied by a matching tonneau cover still packaged in the original container. Entirely correct and immaculately finished, the matching numbers 428/335 HP Cobra Jet engine is coupled to a close ratio Toploader 4-speed and 3.50 TractionLok, and complemented by power steering and the GT’s strong competition suspension. Complete with Marti report documentation, this unique collector Mustang GT convertible stands out as a valuable find for the collector. Highlights: - GT Equipment Group - 428/335 HP GT convertible, 1 of 1 - Front Spoiler - 4-speed, 3.50 Traction Lok - GT wheels w/GT center caps - Power steering - GT Gas Cap - Professional rotisserie restoration - Raven Black, Black top and interior - Bucket seats, console, 8,000 RPM tach - Fully detailed trunk - GT Competition suspension with staggered shocks

1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 427/400 HP Tri Power


This marvelously pristine, low-mileage 1967 427 Sting Ray convertible is believed to be the only big block built in this color combination of Sunfire Yellow and Tan interior. It boasts a long list of very desirable options and, with only 31,000 miles on the odometer, it retains an unusually high level of originality. The leading feature is the powerful L68 427 Tri Power engine, distinguished by its trio of Holley 2-barrel carbs and chromed triangular air cleaner. A Powerglide automatic sends the big block’s 400 horses to a 3.36 Positraction unit. The excellent Tan interior is fitted with optional headrests and shoulder belts, telescopic steering column and AM/FM radio, while the original exterior extras are just right for a big block mid-year convertible: auxiliary hardtop, factory side exhaust, the original set of five aluminum bolt-on wheels and correct non-D.O.T. Redline tires. Of vital importance to collectors is the car’s documentation, including the dealer order sheet, original tank sticker, slipper papers, bill of sale, invoice and title from original owner. Highlights: - 427/400 HP Tri Power V-8 - Powerglide automatic - Only 31,000 miles - 3.36 Positraction - Headrests - Shoulder Belts - Auxiliary Hardtop - Positraction Axle 336 - Transistor Ignition - Side Mount Exhaust - Telescopic Steering - Aluminum Bolt On Wheels - AM/FM Radio - Redline Tires


This PHS and GM of Canada-documented GTO Judge Convertible is one of just 162 built for the 1970 model year and is one of the 47 YZ coded Ram Air III automatics built. It was built at the Pontiac, Michigan assembly plant in June of 1970. It and an identical Judge convertible were sent to Canada at the same time, though the other car is lost to time. This incredible example has been treated to a three-year, 2000+ hour, body-off rotisserie restoration and may be the most correct numbered and date-coded Judge in existence, with world-class documentation and unbelievable lineage. The entire original drivetrain has been meticulously rebuilt to stock specifications, even the connecting rod and main bearings have not been machined. The block still retains its original displacement and the original size bores feature new pistons. The original water pump and exhaust manifolds were retained and rebuilt rather than being replaced. This Judge even retains its original factory-issue “JT� coded Rally II wheels. Nothing but the very best was put in this automobile. The original owner and the owner of the delivering dealer have been consulted during the course of the restoration and both were on hand when the freshlyrestored Judge convertible was unveiled at the delivering dealership with the GTO Club of Ontario on hand. A notarized document was signed stating that the only four dated and numbered items that were replaced during the restoration were the starter, radiator, alternator and voltage regulator. Highlights: - 1 of only 162 built - 1 of only 47 Ram Air III automatics built - 3 year body-off rotisserie restoration - PHS documented - GM of Canada documentation - Original JT coded Rally II wheels

1965 Shelby GT350 Fastback


1 of only 562 Shelby GT350s built in 1965, serial #SFM5S199 is a matching numbers example fully documented in the Shelby American World Registry, and comes with copies of the original delivery documents to Tasca Ford. SAAC has verified that the Ford Serial # and Shelby VIN # match. It was restored in 2002 with a mere 21,000 miles on the odometer and retains its original 289/306 HP V-8 and aluminum case Borg Warner T-10 4-speed. As an early production car, it is equipped with the desirable trunk-mounted battery, a feature seen in only the first 300 Shelbys. Like every first-year car, it bears the all distinctive trademarks: Wimbledon White paint with Guardsman Blue stripes, scooped fiberglass hood, side exhaust, competition-tuned suspension and brakes and an austere Black cockpit with auxiliary gauge pod and Cobra steering wheel; this example also sports 15-inch Cragar/Shelby wheels. Still in excellent condition, this early production Shelby comes with many restoration receipts and full Shelby Registry documentation. Highlights: - Early-production GT350, #199 of 562 - Matching numbers - Documented in Shelby Registry - 289/306 HP V-8 - Borg Warner T-10 4-speed - 15-inch Cragar/Shelby wheels - Trunk-mounted battery - Restored in 2002 at 21,000 miles - Excellent condition


Ford was riding a series of marketing victories in the early Sixties, one of which

was replacing Chevrolet as the supplier to car rental giant Hertz. Carroll Shelby capitalized on the new relationship, sending Shelby American GM Peyton Cramer to pitch the new GT350 as a replacement for Corvette in Hertz’s Sports Car Club. Armed with research on Hertz’s beginnings in the business, Cramer pitched a fleet of Hertz Shelbys finished in Raven Black with Gold striping. Hertz management loved the idea, and just before Christmas 1965, Shelby American received a demand letter from Hertz for 1,000 GT350s. Today the GT350H is one of the most desirable Shelbys of all. Documented in the Shelby Registry, serial #1822 has been treated to a thorough nut-and-bolt restoration, and shows superb fit and finish beneath its factory correct Raven Black-and-Gold paint. Built after the switch from 4-speed manual transmissions, this car is equipped with the Shelby-tuned K-code 289/306 HP small block and C-6 automatic. The highly detailed engine compartment, interior and undercarriage all present as new and entirely correct, making this rare Shelby a top prospect for collectors. Highlights: - Rare 1966 Shelby GT350H - Raven Black with Gold stripes - K-code 289/306 HP V-8 with C-6 automatic transmission - Documented in Shelby Registry - Nut-and-bolt restoration

1970 Plymouth Cuda Convertible 383/335 HP


This well-optioned 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 383 convertible is an excellent original example of the extent to which a buyer could lavish a serious highperformance car with luxury and style. With only 13,000 miles, the car is in premium condition throughout. The Black Velvet exterior finish, combined with the Black convertible top and high grade White and Black interior trim presents a formal look that is enhanced by the handsome White tonneau cover. The twin-scooped optional Sport Hood wears “cuda383” callouts and is held in place with optional hood tie-down pins. Fender-mounted turn signal lights, chrome-tipped dual exhaust and louvered sill moldings finish the look. Exterior brightwork is in this case appropriately minimal. The basic interior theme is luxury, beginning with the Code H6XW High Grade Interior Trim. Seating and side trim is in White vinyl with Black carpeting and dash. Wood-grained trim adorns the center console and the instrument panel, which incorporates the popular Rallye Instrument Cluster Accessory Group option. Controls are present for the power-operated top, power windows, AM radio and 8-track, air conditioning, driver’s mirror, sixway manual adjustable driver’s seat and automatic speed control. Tinted glass, Light Accessory Group, Rim Blow steering wheel and optional threespeaker sound system fill out this car’s extensive appointments. With the 335 horsepower 383 under the hood, there is real power to move all that luxury. The high-performance 4 barrel 383 and A727 Torqueflite automatic are backed up with the 8 ¾ inch 3.23:1 Sure-Grip rear end. Power steering, power brakes with discs up front and a heavy-duty cooling system are there to add handling and durability. The undercarriage is as original as the rest of this car, properly Mopar-finished and correct. A numbers matching car verified by Galen Govier, this is a nicely-appointed big block ‘Cuda that balances great performance with elegant styling. Highlights: - Galen Govier documented - Numbers correct Cuda Convertible - Numbers matching 383 CI motor - Air conditioning - Power windows & top

- Cruise control - Fog lamps - 6-way adjustable bucket seat - 8-track - Rally dash


This 1958 Corvette is unique in many ways, most importantly in the fact of its highly original paint and interior, and its extremely rare code 579D 283/290 HP fuel-injected engine. While the car has undergone a major mechanical restoration, the body has been estimated by an acknowledged paint and body expert as retaining 90 percent of its factory original nitrocellulose lacquer paint. It also has correct press-molded fenders front and rear and better-than-average chrome and brightwork. The interior is almost completely original, including seat covers and power top and windows, all properly operational. The drivetrain features the original engine block and Rochester fuel injection unit, and is backed by a correct 4-speed manual transmission. Although some modern components such as front disc brakes and air conditioning have been substituted, all modifications can be readily reversed to return the car to its original state. Great originality, a beautiful color combination of rare Silver Blue over White coves with Powder Blue soft top, and the elite code 579D engine make this Corvette very attractive for collectors. Highlights: - One of only 1,007 290 HP fuel-injected cars built - 4-speed - Rare factory power top - Power windows
