Default 1958 Corvette Wanted (Australia)
Hi everyone,

This is my first post so please take it easy on me! :-)

I'm based in Australia and I'm trying to lay my hands on a 1958 Corvette (life long dream car).

I would love it if there was one for sale in Australia as it would make it simpler in terms of not having to import the car, etc. I'm not sure if there's many Aussies on this forum

Irrespective of where the car is located, can you please post any 1958 Corvettes that you know are for sale.

Cheers and thanks,
Warren.

Hi Taz007, I'm still trying to establish who I'll get to build mine (restomod), etc, which might influence what I buy, where I buy it, etc. What timescale are you working to? Cheers, Warren.

Thanks for the link. However, I'm looking for something in the high US$40K's or low US$50K's so I can bring it to Australia and turn it into a RestoMod. Cheers.
