My 1958 Corvette

[FirstOwner69]

My first restoration was a 58 Vette. I bought the car in 1983 and finished a frame off restoration in 1987. In 1988, the car received a NCRS Top Flight award in May and the Bloomington Gold award in June. After passing the NCRS Performance Verification test in 1989 it received the Duntov Award in 1990, in Williamsburg, VA, with a score 98.9.

The car has the 245HP dual carb optional 283 and 4-speed.

All the pictures of the car below were taken last summer when I showed the car and truck (completed last year) together for the first time. The last picture from 1989 is of Zora Arkus-Duntov presenting the award named in his honor. Of course, I look the same but my son now towers over me.
