For Sale at Auction: 1959 Chevrolet Corvette in Houston, Texas

This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette 283/245hp convertible comes in a striking total package with an attractive color combination. Completed in a Roman Red exterior with a red vinyl interior, it has plenty of bright chrome, which makes quite an impression on the outside. It comes with both the convertible top and hardtop. Powered by a NOM small-block Chevrolet V8 engine with 4-speed manual transmission, features include an original Wonder Bar AM radio, original clock, courtesy lights and heater. Originally assembled in St. Louis, MO, it has had a body-off restoration with 13,020 miles (the title reads mileage exempt). The convertible top is new, and the chrome bumpers show a very good finish, as do the exterior door handles, taillights, steel wheels and correct-style hubcaps. The interior shows good-condition seats, door panels and steering wheel, as well as a very good carpet. This Corvette is also equipped with new wide whitewall bias-ply tires, period finned valve covers with Corvette script, correct ignition shielding and hose clamps.
