1959 Chevrolet Corvette. Finished in Snowcrest White with silver coves and features a black soft top over a black interior. A repaint in Snowcrest White with silver coves done by the previous owner in the 1990s. Power comes from a replacement 283/230 V8 that is equipped with two 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. A Turbo Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission has replaced the stock 2-speed Powerglide. The powertrain has been rebuilt during the 1990s refurbishment. Engine pull strong, transmission shift good, all gauges work as it should. I own this car since 2018. Clean title in hand.
his 1959 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Snowcrest White with silver coves and features a black soft top over a black interior. Power comes from a replacement 283/230 V8 that is equipped with two 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. A cosmetic refurbishment was reportedly carried out in the late 1990s along with engine and transmission rebuilds. The car spent 11 years with a friend of the selling dealer, went to a collector in Kansas about 10 years ago, and was repurchased by the friend in early 2018. This C1 Corvette is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean California title.
A repaint in Snowcrest White with silver coves was reportedly carried out during the 1990s refurbishment, and the current state of the finish is shown up close in the gallery below along with that of the brightwork and lighting. Imperfections including touched-up chips are pointed out by the seller.
Steel 15″ wheels wear polished covers and BFGoodrich Silvertown 670-15 bias-ply whitewall tires. The black soft top is shown raised and lowered in photos.
The interior is trimmed in black and reportedly features new Daytona carpeting. The center console houses controls for the optional heater and AM radio. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,000-rpm redline, and a 5-digit odometer showing just over 5,900 miles. Total mileage is unknown.
