Overview of 1959 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

The 50s was a lovely time for the car industry; with new models and iconic names seeing the light of day, nothing matched up to the release of the Corvette marque. With its sleek looks and exotic persona owning a Corvette from the 50s is guaranteed to turn heads as you cruise along; take a look at this lovely 1959 Chevrolet Corvette we have today, for instance. Coming with just a reported 93,000 miles on the clock, this classic American hero can be yours to enjoy and reportedly comes with extra parts and accessories to seal the deal.

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.

1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

For Sale
ASK: $13,299
Miles: 219,621
Estimated: $124.22/mo

The 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 marked a major turning point for Chevrolet's legendary pony car, introducing the aluminum-block LS1 V8 and bringing a new level of performance to the fourth-generation F-body platform. Finished in Arctic White over Dark Gray, this particular Z28 stands out with an extensive engine and drivetrain rebuild performed by LSxperts at approximately 198,000 miles. According to the current owner, the entire drivetrain was rebuilt, including engine reboring, returning the mechanical components to a refreshed condition approximately 21,000 miles ago. While the chassis shows approximately 219,621 miles, the rebuilt powertrain has accumulated only around 21,600 miles since the work was completed. Performance enhancements include a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 1 camshaft kit, upgraded cooling components, a true dual glass-packed exhaust system, and dyno tuning to complement its modified LS1 powerplant. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, removable T-top roof panels, and factory 16-inch chrome aluminum wheels, it delivers the ingredients that made the LS-powered Camaro a favorite among American performance enthusiasts. Additional highlights include a customized audio system, ambient interior lighting, and available vehicle build documentation. For enthusiasts who appreciate naturally aspirated V8 performance, the involvement of a manual gearbox, and the extensive tuning potential of the LS platform, this Z28 offers an exciting combination of classic F-body character and a substantially refreshed drivetrain.
