STK 4016 1959 Chevrolet Corvette
By 1959, the Corvette had reached a performance standard that no other American car could match. To quote Road and Track Magazine at the time – “The 1959 Corvette is a pretty package with all of the speed you'll need, and then some.” As part of the first generation Corvette, the '59 C1 model retained its signature curvy fiberglass body and dual headlight design introduced in 1958, but with refinements including the deletion of hood louvers and chrome trunk strips.
This handsome 3-owner '59 Corvette was purchased by the current owner in 1987 and was the beneficiary of a full 'frame-on' restoration in the late 1990's (photos from restoration included). It is stunning. The exterior was professionally reshot in Snowcrest White w/Inca Silver coves. The paint is in overall very good/excellent condition with only some very minor cracks. The bumpers were re-chromed and all stainless was polished. Coker Classic wide-white radial tires are mounted on steel wheels with elegant factory spinner hubcaps. The roadster is equipped with a folding convertible top and a removable fiberglass hardtop. A custom tonneau cover and car cover are also included. The interior is restored back to original and is impressive. Red vinyl upholstery, dash pad and new carpet were professionally installed during the restoration process. The factory tachometer has been rebuilt and the stereo has been upgraded with a Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette sound system. (The original, rebuilt WonderBar radio is included in the sale.) A factory 3-spoke steering wheel is in excellent condition and window glass is all very good.
Horsepower is furnished by a 283ci/230hp small-block. It is believed that this is the original engine, but we cannot be positive. It sits in a nicely detailed engine compartment and was professionally rebuilt in 2001. The small-block is fitted with a single 4-barrel carb and backed by a 2-speed Powerglide transmission and posi-traction differential. The solid chassis is equipped with a custom dual exhaust system, power steering and manual brakes (front brakes converted to disc, all new stainless lines). New kingpins and heavy-duty shocks were also installed along with a new fuel tank. Very few C1 Corvettes reach the marketplace, even fewer like this exceptional example. This impressive '59 Corvette is an amazing roadster that belongs in your collection. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
