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

Designed by AVA Customs and completed by Maverick Garage, this custom 1959 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a Chevrolet crate LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 436hp, mated to a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission. The intake features polished 55mm-profile air horns and a gold Cerakote-coated throttle body manifold by Borla Performance. Accent interior lighting and stealth lift actuators concealed at the front of the hood have been added to maximize view lines of the engine bay. The chassis is a powder-coated Satin Black Roadster Shop platform with independent front and rear suspension, aluminum control arms, front and rear sway bars, and power rack & pinion steering. Braking is handled by 14-inch Baer disc brakes at all four corners. Supporting components include a Rick's custom fuel tank, a Mattson custom radiator and a Ferrari-style trickle charger with a full battery kill switch. This build rides on custom 18-inch Schott wheels color-matched to the Sunset Gold Metallic exterior, which are wrapped in Nitto 555 tires. The body retains its original panels and is one of 9,670 Corvettes produced for the model year. The custom interior, finished by award-winning designer Albert Lara, features Oyster White leather upholstery, light gold leather-wrapped dash, Mercedes-Benz carpeting, power windows, Vintage Air system, custom seatbelts, Sparco steering wheel, Ididit steering column and Dakota Digital gauges fitted to the original cove. Restored original stainless console components are also retained. The initial build was completed over four years by Joe Peck Customs. The sale includes a bound photo book documenting the entire build process. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
