Overview of 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod For Sale by Owner

This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of the first-generation Corvette and backs it with a substantially upgraded performance package. Showing approximately 37,998 miles, this C1 is finished in Hot Rod Satin Black over a black leather interior and includes a body-colored removable hardtop. Its 350ci V8 is equipped with FAST individual-runner electronic fuel injection and an 8-stack velocity trumpet setup, while a Muncie 4-speed manual, 4.11 rear gears, front disc brakes, and American Racing wheels give the car a much more performance-focused character than a stock 1959 Corvette.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod features a custom Hot Rod Satin Black paint job, giving the C1’s sculpted bodywork a much more aggressive appearance. The car rides on American Racing wheels wrapped in radial tires and includes a body-colored removable hardtop for added versatility. Chrome bumpers, bright exterior trim, and the Corvette’s signature dual-headlamp front end preserve the classic late-1950s styling, while the satin finish and hot-rod-inspired presentation give this example a distinctly custom identity. The interior of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is finished in black leather and retains the intimate two-seat layout that defines the early Corvette. Front bucket seats are joined by a floor-mounted shifter for the Muncie 4-speed manual and an aftermarket 3-spoke steering wheel. An aftermarket Bluetooth sound system adds modern audio capability while keeping the cabin focused on the essentials of the driving experience.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod is a 350ci V8 built around a 4-bolt main engine block and equipped with FAST individual-runner electronic fuel injection. Eight velocity trumpets dominate the engine bay and give the induction system an unmistakable competition-inspired appearance, while an MSD ignition system, tubular exhaust headers, and an aftermarket aluminum radiator further support the upgraded powertrain. The V8 is paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and 4.11 rear gears, while front disc brakes add improved stopping capability to this extensively modified C1.
