Overview

This beautiful award-winning 1959 Corvette was completely restored in 2000 as a frame-off restoration.

Exterior and Engine Details

Completely restored in 2000 and updated again in 2018, this 1959 Corvette has a numbers-matching 283 cu in V-8 engine with dual-quad Carter carburators. Updates included 4-wheel power disc brakes, and upgraded electronic ignition.

Features

A red-on-red Corvette complete with station-seeking Wonderbar radio which was innovation in 1959. New carpet and sound deadening underliner rounds out a very carefully finished restoration. As a testiment to its reliability, the owner and his wife drove 4,000 miles from Toronto to LA along Route 66 in 2019 where it was a real head-turner.
