Power windows came on fewer than 600 Corvettes in 1959, making this
1959 Chevrolet Corvette Fuelie an exceptionally rare find. The
Snowcrest White exterior looks sharp against the chrome trim, with
both a white vinyl convertible top and matching white fiberglass
removable hardtop giving options for any weather. Chrome details
run along the sides of this Corvette, accenting the sleek body
lines and drawing attention to the iconic design. The 15" wheels
carry 6.70-15 BFG Silvertown whitewall radials, adding to the
classic American sports car aesthetic.
The red vinyl interior houses bucket seats with a floor-mounted
shifter for direct control of the gears. Factory gauges remain in
place on the dash panel, sitting next to the original Wonderbar
radio that still looks right at home. This interior comes equipped
with the ultra-rare power windows option - even less common than
the fuel injection on 1959 models. Red door panels match the seats
perfectly, while the installed seatbelts offer added security
without compromising the original look and feel of this Corvette's
cabin.
A period-correct 283 cubic inch V8 with Rochester fuel injection
sits in the engine bay. The motor puts out 290 horsepower thanks to
its 10.5:1 compression ratio and solid lifter setup, all running
through a 4-speed manual transmission for direct control. The dual
exhaust system produces the unmistakable sound that made these cars
famous. Mechanical components include drum brakes and the factory
suspension setup, featuring coil springs at the front and a solid
axle with leaf springs in the rear.
