Exterior and Interior

This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette sports an iconic two-tone exterior with a regal red and white commanding everyone's attention, no matter where you are. This car is practically a time capsule and boasts all its original features; you get all the chrome exterior trim and those 50s design cues all in check and looking good. You really can complete that 50s look without a set of white wall tires complimenting the exterior. The white wall tires on this American beauty house its original factory hubcaps and is indeed the cherry on top of the cake. The black interior of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette shares the same persona as its exterior, complete originality. The black leather seats ensure comfort for you and your passengers on a lovely stretch of road. Everything in the interior is original, with the original Corvette steering wheel overlooking the original dashboard; one exception comes in the form of a Kenwood stereo to provide smooth and modern tunes as you drive by.

Engine

You could get your 1st gen Corvette in four engine trims ranging from inline sixes to V8 offerings when new. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette sports a 283ci V8 powertrain; while it's period correct, the engine is reported to be non-numbers matching from a 1960 model year Corvette. This car has seen some work done to make it a reliable classic, starting with new electricals and a fresh starter and ignition reportedly replaced six years ago, ensuring electrical gremlins are not part of your Sunday cruise. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 3-speed manual transmission.
