Having recently sold my 66 L72 (thanks Forum Members), I am now looking to return to the comfort, ride and handling of a 1958 Corvette! Fuelie preferred with a 4-speed. Hard top helpful. Would prefer "matching numbers" (loosely interpreted) but at least date code correct. Do not want a trailer queen so a #2 or #3 condition car would be nice. I am in the southern Utah/Las Vegas, NV area so hoping for something close.

This one looks like it checks most of your boxes. I do not know the car or the owner.
Great minds must think alike (lol)! I already contacted the owner of this car. Nice car but not numbers matching and a paint change. Still a really nice car but overpriced by $20k (imo).
Many thanks for the referral!! Forum members are honestly really nice and informative people who look out for each other!

The color change isn't too big a deal... pretty common on C1's since there is no trim tag. At least the seller is being honest about it. But considering the color change and non-original engine, I would agree that it's a bit overpriced. Good luck with the search!
Had a few good leads and have followed through on each one. Still looking and waiting for rccarson to return home to send pics and information about his 58.
Fellow forum member, rccarson (Reg), owned a beautiful 1958 Fuelie, Charcoal with Inca Silver coves, Charcoal interior and a Black hardtop. I finally had the opportunity to fly up to the great Pa
cific Northwest and inspect the car. It was exactly as represented by Reg. I am proud to say it is now MY 58 Fuelie! A buddy and I will be driving up this Monday to pick it up and bring it back to southern Utah.
My search is finished.
I thank all the responding members for their leads and suggestions!
What a great looking '58! It appears that you got something a little beyond a #3 or #2 condition car.
Have you owned a fuel injected car before? Are you driving it home?
Thanks for the kind compliments. Believe it or not, Reg "finished" his restoration of the fuelie more than 18 years ago! He did not drive it too much after the restoration cuz he really couldn't fit in it. Don't be sorry though--he currently owns a beau
tiful 66 L72 coupe, a 63 SWC and a 65 Big Block currently under restoration.
I previously owned one other fuelie vette--a 64 that was Satin Silver with a Black interior. I've attached a few pictures. It was a fairly nice, restored car that actually ran and drove rather decently.
