1958 Corvette just made home in Dallas, TX

So yes, after moving to TX, USA; now i finally purchased my dream C1 Corvette. After giving a 2nd thought, i decided that 1958 is best for me as it has more chrome, twin headlights and still a car from fifties.

Here are the details:
VIN: J58S104205 (Feb 14th, 1958)
Engine Casting: 3789935, L121 date code, FI228CD stamp
Date purchased: Jan 9th, 2016
License number: 1958C




Some immediate self actions taken:

- master brake cylinder was bleeding, rebuilt
- fuel pump most probably leaking fuel to oil, replaced (omg it was difficult)
- 0891 distributor replaced with original 0890 vacuum advance distributor
- PCV valve is installed instead of draft road tube to prevent odors and oil contamination
- the dirty wonderbar radio found in the trunk is cleaned, new knobs installed and replaced the aftermarket radio
- reverse gear was not engaging, shifter fixed
- console trims were missing, installed. Locks, cigarette lighter and some weather strips fixed. Courtesy lamp is missing, installed. Small paint touch ups done in the interior
