Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to offer a beautiful 1959
Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie. Introduced in 1957, mechanical fuel
injection was offered on Corvettes as a higher horsepower variant
of the standard cars. In 1959 this meant your choice of a 250
Horsepower or 290 Horsepower 283 CID V8 with no carburetor to be
found. 745 buyers chose the $484.20 option to get the 290 HP
Fuelie. This particular example is beautifully optioned in Crown
Sapphire with white coves and Turquoise interior. She wears the
appropriate hub caps with knock offs wrapped in wide white wall
tires. The chrome trim on this particular car is in great shape and
makes for a dazzling piece of eye candy. Inside you'll find more
chrome and stainless trim to accent the Turquoise upholstery. This
awesome 1959 Corvette has the Crown Sapphire paint that only 888
Corvette's left the factory with. Driving enthusiasts will be
delighted to see that behind the 290 HP v8 is a proper 4 speed
manual transmission. Speaking of the drive train, the engine has
been completely rebuilt, and perhaps even more importantly, the
fuel injection system has been rebuilt by an expert that
specializes in these systems. The car runs beautifully and is a
delight to pilot down the road. Being a Fuelie, and therefore quite
rare, this is a true collector's piece. This car would be at home
in the most avid Corvette collector's garage. You can see this
awesome 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie in greater detail in our
Detroit showroom or at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact
