Background Story of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette

Overview of 1959 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale by Owner

If you’re a Corvette fan, a first-generation example is likely very high on your bucket list. Yes, why not own and drive an example from the era that started one of America’s finest automotive legacies? However, today’s 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a little different. It’s been tastefully modified and upgraded with some modern components and most tantalizingly, a modern V8 from a newer Corvette! Having done a mere 2,142 miles after all this meticulous and painstaking work, this fully dialed-in car now resides in Sapphire, North Carolina, ready for a new owner and fresh adventures. Talk to us if you’d like to be that lucky person.

Exterior and Interior

This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 has been painted in a smooth shade of silver, really bringing out its iconic and timeless styling. Meanwhile, the wheels have been upgraded to forged black aluminum units, and the whole thing sits on a custom chassis. Since the car is a convertible, there’s a black canvas top for use in poor weather, but the car looks best top-down, when its profile really cuts a fine dash. Meanwhile, a custom side dual-exit exhaust system ensures that the V8’s rumble and roar is really prominent. The Lipstick Red interior features Daytona-style leather bucket seats in the same shade, as well as amenities such as power windows, air conditioning and an aftermarket audio player. The latter is from Kenwood, and offers Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port and an AUX input as well as regular FM radio. Meanwhile, a bevy of Dakota Digital gauges have been added as well, aiding monitoring of the modernized powertrain that lurks within. All this sits neatly within the car’s original dashboard, tastefully combining retro and modern. Even the trunk compartment has reportedly been overhauled.

Engine

A modern 6.2-liter LS3 V8 tuned by Hendrick Motorsports and packing an aftermarket camshaft powers this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3. Paired with a crisp 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the renewed powertrain really makes this Corvette a treat to drive. Four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, coilover shocks and vented, cross-drilled zinc-plated rotors also come together for a holistic experience.

1970 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$54,999
SOLD

This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray captures the timeless beauty and performance of the early C3 generation, blending elegant curves with muscular presence. Finished in Marlboro Maroon, it reflects the era’s passion for dramatic, flowing sports car design. The 1970 model year is a standout among Corvette enthusiasts — marked by one-year-only design updates, flared fenders, and reduced production numbers following the GM strike, making examples like this both rare and collectible.

PENDING SALE
$39,999

That’s what we have here, a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car Edition from Corinth, Texas, with just 15,355 miles on the clock. If you want a truly special C3 Vette that’s got quite a bit of eye-popping capabilities, this is your car!

1962 Chevrolet Corvette

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$69,999
SOLD

The first generation of Chevy’s popular Corvette was introduced for sale in 1953, and ran until the end of the 1962 model year. It created the template for what would become America’s finest sports car, and today, is something that really makes Europe’s finest feel fearful. Finding a first generation or C1 Corvette isn’t easy because only 69,000 were made, and of course, way back then, it wasn’t considered a classic. That’s why we’re proud to present this 1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from St. Augustine, Florida. With its repaint in Roman Red, replaced brakes and stout V8 engine, it’s a fine car to add to your collection and enrich your life. We say enrich in the literal as well as figurative sense, because a C1 ‘Vette in great condition is always a savvy investment.

PENDING SALE
$77,999

The 1941 Ford line-up came in the thick of World War 2, and hence was temporarily halted by 1942, until production could continue by 1946. With its iconic bull-nose looks, this series was offered in sedan, coupe, station wagon and pickup truck derivatives. Now, these nearly vintage vehicles have found a new purpose; as platforms for superb restomods. Take this Punta Gorda-based 1941 Ford Pickup Restomod as a great example. Following a full frame-off restoration, it packs an upgraded sound system, front disc brakes, and of course, a newer V8 for more pep. Join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this lovely truck and if you want to make it yours, we’re waiting to assist.
