1959 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE

Details

Family-owned since the late 1960s and driven occasionally. It was parked in a new four-car garage in 1971, where it sat for 43 years until retrieved in 2014 to begin a full body-off restoration. It was then restored and upgraded with a new crate 350ci V8 Chevrolet small-block mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum manifold and Edelbrock electronic fuel-injection. Additional upgrades include rack & pinion power steering, front disc brakes, Vintage Air

climate control and new components to make it drive more comfortably. The rest of the car was made to look as it did in 1959, in the original Frost Blue paint with white inserts and steel wheels with hubcaps. To add contrast, the seats were upholstered in white leather and a white convertible soft-top was installed. Additionally, the restored original hardtop shell is included, as are photographs documenting the restoration process. Always garage-kept and covered until driven.
