supercargirl Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 My client has had a number of early Corvette's. A 59, a 61 and a 65. He has always wanted a 57. I don't want anything that he can find himself. I want to dig a little deeper and find a car with the owner so I can get to know the car. Research its history. Can be in driver condition as he is a heart surgeon and working on his cars is a stress reliever. He goes to great lengths to pay attention to detail. When he restored an Alfa Romeo from the the 60's he went to an upholsterer in Italy and had them reproduce the original material used in his car to the tune of 300 dollars a yard. And he had to buy the entire bolt. So if anyone is looking for material for an Alfa.. If you have been doing this for 50 years you have been doing it since - almost my entire life. So yes, I am open to suggestions. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercargirl Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Must be fuel injected. Engine size is not important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Well if it's original and Fuel injected it has to be a 283. Anything else will be wrong. You will want to be sure it has the correct injection unit as that's quite expensive to replace if it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real61ss Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Zip has a website for ordering parts and they list thier contacts but i doubt they list any cars for sale on it. I was in there last Saturday and the 57 was setting in the show room. If you called i would ask to speak to Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
