Details

This is a one-of-a-kind 1959 Corvette. The team that built this car worked hand-in-hand with Corvette Correction in Seguin, TX, to pair the original body with a state-of-the-art rolling chassis. The custom frame was assembled with a brand-new LS3 engine and 4L65E automatic transmission. Keeping communication is a custom harness from Hot Rod Therapy and a TCI Automotive controller, allowing full customization. The engine components have been thoughtfully dressed to create a clean custom engine bay finished with a full firewall delete, custom engine covers and electrically actuated hood. Putting traction to the pavement is a set of BFGoodrich Pro Streets wrapped around forged aluminum wheels from American Racing. Keeping all 465bhp and 425 ft/lbs of torque under control is a full disc brake system featuring a hidden electronic brake booster and a polished master cylinder. On the outside, every inch of the car’s body has been completely restored. Custom Ruby Red Candy paint by HCD Paintworks reflects the clean lines that have been established through a complete “bone to chrome” overhaul of the fiberglass tub and trim work. On the outside it’s all Chevrolet 1959, but inside the exterior-accent-matching pearl white leather interior by Al Knoch surrounds the cockpit, complemented by hand-selected carpet and floor panels. Modern improvements include custom JL Audio speakers sending out the latest in XM sounds and Bluetooth technology through a vintage RetroFit Radio, with backlit electronic-controlled vintage analog displays from Classic Industries. Among the modern creature comforts are an RFID push-button starter, power door locks, power windows, electronic push-button parking brake and front end pulley-controlled Vintage Air. When clouds line the skies, enjoyment can continue with the fully restored soft-top and hardtop. When night falls, the high-output LED headlights, brake lights and reverse indicators will light the way.
