1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie Roadster

One of America’s Most Coveted Fuel-Injected Corvettes

Some Corvettes are beautiful. Others are historically significant. This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie is both. Finished in stunning Cascade Green with contrasting Beige coves and a matching Beige interior, this iconic C1 represents one of the most celebrated American sports cars ever produced. Equipped with Chevrolet’s legendary Rochester mechanical fuel injection system, it belongs to an exclusive group of Corvettes that forever changed the performance landscape by becoming the first American production car to achieve one horsepower per cubic inch.

Under the hood is the correct 283 cubic-inch V8 producing 283 horsepower, paired with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission and Positraction rear end. The result is the kind of exhilarating driving experience that established the Corvette as a legitimate world-class sports car and continues to captivate enthusiasts nearly seventy years later. Whether admired on the open road or displayed at a collector event, this Fuelie delivers the unmistakable character and performance that made the 1957 Corvette an American legend.

Recently restored with extraordinary attention to detail, this Corvette benefited from more than 1,000 hours invested in its body and paintwork. The finish was meticulously hand wet-sanded and layered with eight coats of clear coat, creating exceptional depth, clarity, and gloss that beautifully accentuate Harley Earl’s timeless design. Completing the presentation are a restored removable hardtop, a white convertible soft top, original Corvette wheel covers, power windows, and a functioning Wonder Bar radio. The gauges, lights, and accessories are all reported to be in proper working order, while the engine’s top-end rebuild, rebuilt Rochester fuel injection system, and new clutch have accumulated fewer than 5,000 miles.

Whether destined for concours events, spirited weekend drives, or an elite private collection, this Fuel-Injected 1957 Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Chevrolet’s most legendary creations. Combining rarity, historical significance, timeless styling, and exceptional restoration quality, this is the kind of Corvette collectors spend years searching to find.
