Vehicle Description
Fuel Required is excited to present this incredible 1959 Chevrolet
Corvette named "Suzie Q" in our McDonald showroom. This is the
first generation of the Corvette sports car produced by Chevrolet
commonly known as the C1. The C1 Corvette was introduced late in
the 1953 model year and produced through 1962. This generation is
commonly referred to as the "solid axle" generation and has become
the most coveted model of Corvette collectors. This particular car
benefits from a complete body-off concourse restoration. It
received a new drivetrain, new interior, new glass, new suspension,
brakes, brightwork and exhaust plus a professionally restored
hardtop. Another notable feature is the Dayton true wire wheels
with custom integrated original Corvette knock-off centers all
riding on Diamond Back radial tires. The drivetrain consists of a
new GM Crate 350 engine with a low rise dual quad manifold and
Edelbrock carburetors which provide great reliability and driving
comfort. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a new Turbo
350 automatic transmission and 3.08 ratio Posi traction
differential. The odometer currently reads 2,298 miles. The
spectacular car also features new American Autowire wiring, Vintage
Air air conditioning, Auto Meter retro gauges, Secret Audio
Wonderbar stereo and a reduced size CON2R steering wheel. The
exterior is finished in PPG Concept single-stage paint mixed to a
custom shade of soft blue reminiscent of a 1959 factory color. The
side coves are painted a shade of off-white so they do not appear
brighter than the white- wall tires. While there are extensive
upgrades and modernization touches throughout the car, the
builder's good taste assured that the final result would be
consistent with GM's original design standards. The meticulous
attention to detail is evident as the car has received a
prestigious NCRS Top Flight award for its class. Fuel Required
always recommends and welcomes personal or professional inspections
of any vehicle in our inventory prior to purchase. See more
