Engine Block casting number is the correct 3731548 with the correct stamp F1123FG signifying the right suffix for a 283/245 automatic application. This is car #2747/6339 produced probably late February, early March 1957.
As mentioned, it has only 36K miles and had one owner since new. It is very original with the exception of a paint job done in 1977 in the original style and color scheme. Everything else is original including the interior and the Beige soft top. After a ten year sleep (read, storage), it was recently brought back to life and endowed with new tires, new tank, fuel pump, tune-up and now it performs as it should. Car was shown regularly at Corvette gatherings and is now ready for a new home.
This is a great choice for a private collection due its unique history, engine and transmission combo, originality, condition, options, etc.
