Exceptional Attention To Detail
This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette 283/270HP "Dual Quad" Roadster is
finished in the stunning color combination of Panama Yellow with
Snowcrest White coves, a black interior, and a white folding
convertible top, completing this exceptional example. This
particular car was the recipient of a meticulous restoration
completed in February 2025.
This 1959 Corvette is distinguished by its solid-lifter 270HP "Dual
Quad" 283ci V8 engine. Only 1,846 270HP Dual Quad cars were built
for the 1959 model year. This Corvette is also equipped with a
parking brake alarm, heater, AM/FM radio, 4-speed manual
transmission, and whitewall tires.
The recent professional restoration was completed in a methodical
fashion with high attention to detail and functionality of all
components. This Corvette rides on Coker Classic wide whitewall
tires and features polished full-face wheel covers with two-bar
spinner center caps. As part of the restoration, the brake and fuel
systems were fully rebuilt, making this Corvette an outstanding
driving experience. All chrome and brightwork present exceptionally
well. A show-quality paint job enhances the striking appearance of
this Corvette.
The interior features new carpeting with matching floor mats, a
restored instrument cluster, a new AM/FM radio, and a restored
center climate control panel.
The engine features restored 4x2 carburetors sitting on a reskinned
GM Winters aluminum intake manifold. The correct finned valve
covers have a restored finish with accurate 270HP decals, as new. A
restored 1102043 Delco-Remy generator, dated 9B6, is the correct
unit for this Corvette. Highly polished ignition shielding
completes the engine compartment.
