Vehicle Description
In the long and illustrious history of the Corvette, the first
generation can be divided into three separate subdivisions. The
final five years (1958 to 1962) saw the 'Vette transition away from
being just a fun two-seater into a genuine sports car. One look at
this fully repainted black 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, and it's easy
to see why this car has been beloved by millions. With its
beautiful black and chrome exterior motif, this car will turn heads
anywhere it goes.
Inside, we find a stock and correct-appearing interior. Below the
big half-moon speedometer sits a five-pot gauge cluster featuring a
center-set tachometer, allowing the driver to crack off the perfect
1-2 shift without taking their eyes off the road. The stock
Wonderbar AM radio may currently be inoperative, but it still looks
cool. The thick wood-rimmed steering wheel provides the perfect
splash of contrast, while the Hurst shifter sits as the perfect
place to keep hold your right hand for the majority of any road
trip.
Under the 'Vette's signature front-hinged hood sits a transplanted
327 cubic-inch V-8 engine topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor before being sent out a dual exhaust system. Power from
that motor is routed through a tried-and-true four-speed manual
transmission and out to the rear wheels. Those wheels look amazing
thanks to a trick set of polished American Racing Torq Thrust IIs
shod in 255/55ZR-17 BFG rubber out back while a staggered set of
215/55ZR-17 tires handling steering duties up front.
