This striking red 1958 Chevrolet Corvette — restored three decades ago and cherished by the same family ever since — has resurfaced on the market, offering collectors a rare chance at one of the most iconic one year only designs in Corvette history.
Listed at $89,000 on eBay with a “Best Offer” option, the car sits today in Ravenna, Ohio, showing just 14,400 miles and wearing the kind of care that only long-term ownership can provide. Not many details are given about the restoration or the low mileage, but we’d suspect that the 14,400 number accounts for the miles since the restoration.
According to the seller, the Corvette was purchased and restored by their father roughly 30 years ago. Since then, it has lived a quiet life, stored safely in a barn and brought out mainly for parades and car shows. Now, with the family ready to pass it on, the car is looking for a new owner who will appreciate its history and keep it in the spotlight.
The 1958 model year stands apart in Corvette lore. While Chevy was busier introducing the new Impala, the GM automaker didn’t ignore the Corvette. The ’58 received dual headlights, the distinctive “washboard” hood, and a host of styling cues that appeared for one year only. Under the hood of this one sits a 283 V8, the same engine family that powered everything from Bel Airs to fuel injected Corvette “Fuelies” of the era. While the listing doesn’t specify which version this car carries, it’s safe to assume the engine was rebuilt during the restoration.
The car’s condition appears strong from the photos, though any serious buyer will want to inspect it in person — especially given its age, restoration history, and long period of storage. The seller encourages exactly that: call, ask questions, and come see the car firsthand.
With its vivid red paint, clean title, low mileage, and decades of family stewardship, this ’58 Corvette is unlikely to linger on the market. Whether it ends up in a private collection, on the show circuit, or simply in the hands of someone who’s always dreamed of owning a first generation Vette, it’s ready for its next chapter.
For now, it waits in the barn where it has slept for years — polished, preserved, and poised for the right buyer to bring it back into the sun. Might that be you?
