1959 Chevrolet Corvette Additional Info:
1959 Convertible - Absolutely Iconic Roman Red Exterior with White Coves, a White Soft Top and Black Interior. Fuel Injected 283 CI 290 HP with a 4 Speed Manual Transmission. A Removable matching Hardtop is also included. This is without a doubt, one of the best sounding cars in the showroom! Imagine a Fuelie that actually starts easily, and just has the perfect amount of Rumpity-Rump and enough compression to have the exhaust easily felt 8 feet behind the car! Whoever built this motor certainly knew what they were doing!!! This is a piece of Americana that when seen and heard, convinces you why these were THE hot cars going into the 60's! This one is an older NCRS Top Flight Car! The engine has been previously identified as being a re-stamp, yet after the appropriate deduction the car still achieved a Top Flight Award. The undercarriage will not disappoint, nor will the engine compartment. All is correctly detailed. This car is equipped with the "Wonderbar" Radio, Windshield Washers, Courtesy Lights, Heater, Yes that was still optional in 59, Wide Whitewall Tires, and Power Windows. The paint, while older, still looks really good, with excellent gloss, and when that hardtop is on the car, you immediately see why these cars are revered the way that they are. Looks like it came right out of the movie Animal House ( before it was borrowed )! Drive it, show it, or have it judged. This car is ready for anything. But most of all, just enjoy it's looks, that wonderful and powerful sound, and experiencing what it was like to drive the hottest car around in 1959! This is an affordable classic that has stood and will continue to stand the test of time! Add it to your collection today at an attractive price. Car comes with the NCRS Judging sheets and with all needed maintenance recently completed. All that this magnificent car needs is a new proud owner to enjoy prowling the streets in Mr. Duntov's wonderfully executed design with the resplendent power and sound of that motor! Don't let this one get away!If you always wanted a First Generation Corvette, don't miss out on this one. It is truly a serious classic, but one that you can add to your garage today!
