'58 Corvette Project, Sitting Since '75, Rare Factory Power Top
Evidently the power top was a pretty rare bird in '58, with only 1,090 produced. It's also a 'glide car...not for everyone...but still, worthy of restoration.
Looks like a super early car as well...the 594th built if I'm interpreting the VIN correctly. Link to 1958 Corvette auction   J58S100594

You really have to know what you're doing if you dive into a power top straight axle Corvette.

----We did a full resto on a 59 Vette back in about 1978-9 with the power top option. It took the mechanic 2 weeks (6 to 8 hour days) to get the top functioning correctly. That was after we had restored the frame and installed a new top. Not a job for sissies!!!.....Bill S
