For Sale at Auction: 1959 Chevrolet Corvette in Scottsdale, Arizona

This custom 1959 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a brand-new Chevrolet crate LS3 6.2-liter 436hp V8 engine backed by a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission. This build was completed by Joe Peck Customs in November 2023 and took 4 years. This California example was one of the 9,670 Corvettes produced in 1959 and retains its original body and body panels. Sitting on a Roadster Shop chassis with independent front and rear suspension, it includes aluminum control arms and spindle assembly, as well as power rack & pinion steering. Front and rear sway bars are added to this Satin Black powder-coated chassis that has 14-inch Baer disc brakes all around. Features also include a Rick's custom gas tank and a Mattson custom radiator. Finished in a Sunset Gold Metallic with Oyster White coves, it has a custom interior by Albert Lara, an award-winning custom interior designer. Oyster White leather was sourced to wrap the seats and door panels, while the dash was wrapped in a light gold leather. Interior features include power windows, Vintage Air, custom seatbelts, a Sparco steering wheel, Ididit steering column and Dakota Digital gauges that fit perfectly inside the original gauge cove. The original stainless console pieces were restored, and Mercedes carpet was used to create a soft and quiet experience in the cockpit. This car is sitting on Schott custom-built 19-inch wheels painted in a subtle Titanium to match the body color, which are wrapped in Nitto 555 tires that wear a thin gold stripe to further tie the custom look together. A bound photo book that shows the progression of the build will accompany the sale. ** PREVIEW
