1959 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale - Complete With Modern Upgrades
LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette �
The introduction of the Chevrolet Corvette in 1953 offered a
stylish open-air cruiser to the GM lineup. Much of the credit of
transforming the Corvette form a cruiser to a true sports car goes
to engineer/racer Zora Arkus-Duntov, who built the car to succeed
in America's fast-growing youth market. Beginning with the newly
developed small-block V-8 engine in 1955, the Corvette was
transformed by Duntov into a race-bred, high-performance sports
car. In 1958 the Corvette's body received an updated look with a
longer front end and quad headlamps, bumper exiting exhaust tips,
and some interior changes. The result created a small era from 1958
-'62 that saw what many consider to be the banner machines in the
Corvette Legacy. � This Corvette convertible is powered by a 327 CI
engine mated to a 3-Speed Turbo 350 transmission. It has some
performance upgrades including modern Fuel Injection, Headers, MSD
Ignition and Electric Fans. The front factory drum brakes have been
replaced with a disc brake conversion allowing for increased
braking performance. These performance upgrades make this Corvette
a better performer while increasing drive ability and reliability.
Finished in beautiful classic Ermine White exterior complemented by
Ermine White coves. �A stunning black interior greets those who
open the doors and features a stylish look that is lost on
production cars of today. The two black vinyl bucket seats are in
excellent shape and really stand out thanks to chrome trim that
separates the body from the seats. In front of the driver is the
black steering wheel and in the center of the wheel the famous
Corvette cross flags. Beyond the wheel is a gorgeous instrument
cluster. A huge 160 MPH speedometer stretches across the dash, and
just below it a 7000 RPM tachometer is flanked by four smaller
gauges that houses the fuel, battery, temperature, and oil pressure
gauges. Full-size factory style wheel covers over whitewall tires
complete this beautiful Corvette. � A Corvette Roadster will ensure
driver and passenger excitement travelling down any style of road.
The Ermine White with black interior is a timeless combination that
is absolutely striking in person. The added performance upgrades
increase the drivability over a stock Corvette. If you enjoy
driving your classic sports cars, then this is the one to have!
