This immaculate custom-built 1958 Chevrolet Corvette was listed for sale with a $500,000 price tag.
Few cars out there are as iconic as the Chevrolet Corvette.
Originally launched way back in 1953 with the C1, the Corvette is now in its eighth generation.
The car is hailed as the most popular sports car in history, with almost two million units sold. But this particular example is immaculate.

This custom-built 1958 ‘Vette is immaculate
Many folks dream of having a classic Corvette in the garage, but vintage vehicles are often in need of work, like this flood-damaged 1972 Chevy Corvette or this entire row of ‘Vettes that was seen rotting away in an old junkyard.
But if you fancy getting your hands on an older model without having to put in the effort, then this stunning 1958 Chevrolet Corvette could be for you.
The car has undergone a full custom build, which was completed in September 2023.
So, as you might expect, it looks absolutely pristine.
The car is finished in Pearl White and comes with LED headlights.
Inside, you’ll find a red leather interior with reclining vintage seats and a sprinkling of modern touches, including a Bluetooth custom sound system, Dakota Digital instruments, and an electronic hood.
The Corvette is powered by a GM LS7 427 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, which can produce an impressive 570 horsepower.
Since it got its new engine, the car has done just 584 miles, but now it’s on the hunt for a new owner who can add a few miles to the clock.
The car was listed for sale by Illinois-based dealer Midwest Highline and has a price tag of $500,000.
The world’s most expensive Corvette sold for an eye-watering sum
While half a million dollars isn’t exactly small change, the figure has a long way to go before it matches the most expensive Corvette ever sold.
The Rally Red 1967 L88 coupe is one of just 20 ever made, and the only one sporting a red-on-red color palette.
It set a record for the most expensive Corvette ever sold in 2014, when it was bought for $3.85 million.
A decade on, it sold for $3.2 million.
This year, it headed to auction again, but failed to sell, despite attracting a bid of more than $2.6 million.
